Socialist Fraternity Kiss


This photo dates back to 1945, when the US and Red Army soldiers were feasting together after the fall of Berlin. The Red army two stripes one star major pulled the US staff sergeant in and gave him a Socialist Fraternal Kiss. The American boy was probably too drunk to react or anything.


The socialist kiss generally happens between leaders of Communist countries to show solidarity, which symbolizes special connection.



This is the most famous instance between Brezhnev and Honecker. The photo of them kissing was painted onto the Berlin wall.



Former Chinese Communist chairman 江澤民 goes “the fuck you’re doing? Get off me OMG help” towards Yeltsin’s socialist kiss advances.



Socialist fraternal kiss between officers of the NVA and the Red Army. IDK why but these two dudes seem to enjoy themselves too much.



This is Tito’s wife (leader of Yugoslavia) greeting Egyptian first lady. NICE.



The Fraternal kiss could happen between anybody and is a preferred subject to project a positive image of the Red Army- “the Red Army soldier comes to the people’s rescue” (at least I guess that’s what the translation says). Another one is a soldier with a “liberated civilian”.




This one is so funny I just can’t. 方吉 translated this image from Japanese to Chinese, let me translate it back to English. During one of the battles of the Russo-Japanese War (Battle of South Mountain), Many Russian soldiers surrendered to the Japanese. One guy tried to give a handsome Japanese soldier a kiss, and was met with fierce resistance.


Uh, shit, wait, Russo-Japanese War happened before the October Revolution.


I think you guys are just GAY.
