Russians in the White House. Trump was greeted by a boy in a Soviet tank uniform Donald Trump decided to celebrate Halloween at the White House and spoil the children with candy. The guests came in a variety of costumes - Toy Story characters, Barbies, animals - but what surprised everyone the most was a boy in the uniform of a Soviet tank driver: he wore a Soviet-style cap and a tank soldier chevron on his sleeve. Next to him stood a girl in an outfit reminiscent of a Russian folk costume: a white shirt, a dark sundress with a floral pattern, and a headband with ribbons. How the Soviet hat ended up two steps away from the Oval Office is described here. Photo: Reuters.
