Moscow's annual cadet ball brought together military school students for a spectacular show filled with imperial-style grandeur.
The Moscow International Kremlin Cadet Ball was held on Tuesday and involved about 1,500 students from across Russia and other ex-Soviet nations.
The participants performed traditional dance routines to classical music, while dressed elegantly — a nod to tsarist Russia's imperial splendor.
The ball was sponsored by the Russian Defence Ministry as part of the government's efforts to revive patriotic traditions.
