> people wearing ritualistic outfits have marched into public spaces The one and only time I visited London I just happened to wander by Buckingham Palace on the opening day of Parliament, so all the royals were coming out. The part that floored me was all the pop and show of the uniforms, bayonets and those massive black fluffy hat things with the chin strap. I've never been to the UK or Russia before, but I felt 100% like I was watching a Russian show of pop and flair, not a British one. It dawned on me then that in many ways, they're indistinguishable.
