The video, showing a group of first-year students dancing provocatively along to Satisfaction by Benny Benassi at the Ulyanovsk Institute of Civil Aviation, has been viewed more than five million times on Russian social media network VKontakte.
School authorities threatened expulsion, but social media users so enthusiastically supported the fun video that the cadets are going to be given a pass.
In response to the support for the cadets the Governor of the Ulyanovsk region declared – and posted on Facebook, – that expelling the students would not “add to their patriotism or upbringing”, and said he will meet with the young men and their parents to discuss the issue.
British Army Soldiers posted a similar video in 2015, but it is not known whether this was the inspiration.
