Moscow 'secret police grads’ stage luxury car parade, prompt storm of criticism (VIDEO)

A video showing a group of youngsters thought to be fresh graduates of Moscow’s FSB secret police academy out for a joyride in Moscow while packed into 30 Mercedes luxury SUVs worth at least $100,000 has raised more than a few eyebrows.

The FSB newbies cruising the streets of the Russian capital in black four-wheel drive G-Wagens blocked traffic in their lane several times, while honking their horns for no reason. To help a cameraman take some great shots, they formed a long line from time to time, making it difficult for other vehicles to pass by safely. Meanwhile, young men in white shirts keep protruding from the car windows, joyfully shouting and waving to each other while taking pictures and videos on their cell phones. 

The footage of the parade was later posted on the internet by its participants, as well as several witnesses.
