Shoigu suggested inviting cadets from other countries to the army KVN

He said this during the final of the army KVN, which was held on December 11 at the Central Theater of the Russian Army.

“If the team captains sign gloves on this stage today and send them to their colleagues, students and cadets from the academies of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Belarus, Ukraine,” the minister said, adding that one should not forget the Baltic states.

He also offered to invite Israeli cadets into the game, quoting the lines of Vladimir Vysotsky: "and there - a quarter of our former people." The words of the minister are quoted by RIA Novosti.

A joint game in KVN, Shoigu believes, will lead to the emergence of new friends and acquaintances.
