Travel With Me: My 17 days as RUSS

Open for more info ✼



Being a RUSS and the celebration that comes with it is a special tradition that only Norwegians have. I have really enjoyed my days of being a russ, and if you don't really know what it is, you can read this:

Every spring Norwegian teenagers lose their fucking minds, cause a lot of trouble across the country and EVERYONE IS TOTALLY FINE WITH IT?

Russ is a yearly tradition that is part road trip, part rave, part high school graduation and full lunacy.

The russ grab their buddies, design a bus and travel around getting SMASHED.

You can tell someone is russ because they wear crazy awesome overalls called ‹‹russebukse››.

They buy their ‹‹russebukse›› from an official russ website, and carry around special russ cards.

They also complete insane dares in order to get knots, or ‹‹russeknuter››, on their caps.
These dares can range from drinking a shit ton of beer with tampons in your mouth…to kissing police officers…to licking the floor…to have sex in the woods.

Oh, and at least two people have to witness you do any of these dares in order to get the ‹‹knute›› in your caps.

The russ also attend different parties and festivals around the country.

And all of this is not only legal but ENCOURAGED!

On May 17th, they all walk in different parades for Norway’s Independence Day.
