The russ tradition is at least fifty years old and has provided students with a period for letting off steam before final exams. It started simply enough. All that was needed was a Coca-Cola and a car.
Old 'Russ' Tradition - circa 1960
But times change. Aftenposten:
Antics by Norway's 'russ', reveling high-school students who celebrate impending final exams with often unbridled debauchery, have caused a new controversy after a stripping stunt was filmed and publicized via the Internet.Forget the cola and forget the car. Now, it's a bus and beer.
A 19-year-old girl promoted her campaign to be the local russ president by stripping naked at a student assembly at Atlanten High School in Kristiansund two weeks ago.
This received a new wave of publicity when someone posted a video of the performance online and Norwegian news site TV 2 Nettavisen made the controversial decision to provide a link to the video on their site.
New 'Russ' Tradition
Obviously, it's not news that young people like to party and do so quite often, but it's certainly not the best way to prepare for final exams. Although I personally would have preferred to party, there is no way I could have afforded to neglect the books prior to finals. With regard to the 19-year-old Norwegian girl stripping, it's disgusting. Here's a link for the video. Also, a steamy hot video capture is here. (Warning: NSFW)
