Whether Mother Russia is superior, and to what exactly, may be open to question, but a rather more pressing question is why this parade includes such impressively executed Sailor Moon cosplays.
Russian cosplay does seem to be coming along well, which is well evidenced by the relevant gallery.

Mother Russia is Superior:

OMG! It seems that it is my city.
And I missed such event... unforgivable
Its saint petersburg at the day of the city
Well, I thought so
And why the hell do you use MY name? How do you know it? I'm being watched by everyone!
*goes paranoid*
Shame on you... O_o
Is there a way I could make up for it?
I have to agree, this is actually superior than most cosplays I had seen thus far. But isn't Russia supposed to be frigid? Was it summer when this was taken?
Russians are made of ice.
So I take it Russians are kuudere?
If you have to ask why then you are already inferior,
I think the only reason it looks they fit on this costume, is that they are tall enough, at least as tall as how sailor team members look like, and those clothes fit them as well. What's more, their lookings are actually no bad!
still, don't know why they cosplay sailor team on this event, and how they get permit to do this...
Awww, no Cirno this time? (´∀`)
WOW WOW WEE WA!
I LIKE MAKE A SEXUAL EXPLOSIONS IN MY UNDERPANTS
i read that in bobcat goldthwaits voice...
Thank you Mother Russia!
Russotaku?
yes
sailor scouts in russia?!
I wonder if the wind was blowing well that day...
You know how sometimes you have this funny story to tell, only when you tell it, turns out it's not funny when told, and you say, "You had to have been there."
That's how the whole country runs. "You had to have been [born] there." Then it all make sense. Honestly, it just does.
Now, where did I put my tuxedo?
>>Mother Russia is Superior.
TRUTH. Every blessed word of it.
believe me, beautiful russian girl like a poison...
All hail Mother-Russia.
In Russia, anime cosplays you.
Forget the cosplay, look at all those balloons they're giving out!
Hey, Easter Europe has some damn fine ladies.
Of course, the ones I like are usually Czech more than Russian. Ariel <3
*Eastern. lulz.
They're national heroes.
I liked half of those pictures in that gallery... the rest were....
Hey a parade in Akihabara!
~st`aaaaaare~
HEY! wait a minute....
Excellent Job!!! +1
I rarely like non japanese cosplay too
In Soviet Russia etc.
Sailor Moon will actually Moon You?
*badum pish*
Actually not bad... I think
Me too.
One reason why they look good as the sailor team is because the typical Russian female figure is similar to the the proportions that they were originally drawn in. As the sailors are supposed to be thin-ish and graceful, the girls fit in just fine.
But that doesn't answer the question why they are cosplaying in the first place. :/
why do you need a reason to cosplay?
the question is why arent there more cosplayers? (applies to only attractive girls).
Abuse penis
Hot chicks have better things to do.
Because we love it, of course!
Standard dress attire in Russia.
i like to think so...
lulwut? ahmm, this is... lol
As someone mentioned, this photo is several years old. Itwas in St Petersburg.
btw among hundreds of photos I took during the parade, there were several Sailor V pantsushots.
I think someone posted a photo gallery somewhere... too long ago to remember.
thats like the intro to the song "war" by burzum
pretty hot sailors moon
Mmmm... yeah, why not? Completely agreed.
sailor mercury is much too tall
I take it you don't remember the actual leg-to-body proportions in the anime...
The one in yellow is my favorite.
Awesome... Well, kinda... ^^;
Actually, only Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter look good. If you look closely enough, the others aren't nearly as attractive.
most ridiculous comment ever...
