The event, known as “Makeup under Camouflage”, involves military tests and exercises as well as creative, culinary, and intellectual contests.

The participants were all from the strategic missile forces.

The contest, held in the Yaroslavl region around three hours north east of Moscow, included demonstrations of shooting and battlefield first aid skills, as well as dancing and other non-combat activities.
