Apparently that just so happens to be the colours of the university they all went to, is that true I don't know but I suspect they would have had their suits sorted out before the invasion started?



Seems he doesn't want to sell to anyone whose country has sanctioned Russia, that just might make finding a buyer considerably harder unless there's any Martians considering a bid as apparently even the Chinese are quietly joining in now on their own terms

I remember listening to a translated Russian radio news broadcast from the cold War where they said riots had broken out in the food queues and we were all starving, wish I'd paid more attention but I was a very small boy at the time, my mother found it very amusing though.
I would've thought if it were the University colours one of the cosmonaughts would have just said so instead of this.

On Saturday (March 19), the Russian space agency released a statement quoting Artemyev responding to questions about the Ukraine-flag color choice: "There is no need to look for any hidden signs or symbols in our uniform. A colour is simply a colour. It is not in any way connected to Ukraine. Otherwise, we would have to recognise its rights to the yellow sun in the blue sky," Artemyev said. "These days, even though we are in space, we are together with our president and our people!"
