Russians don't change much
Caution, this clip is not for the faint of heart.
The title means "[The] fighting evil-hamster attacks!"
Russian hooligans tease a giant black-bellied hamster, and it bites their fingers. In drunken glee, they proudly show off the pouring blood and keep teasing. I don't know why the hamster is giant and black-bellied; maybe heavy metal pollution, maybe it was bred for fighting.
The whole situation is qualitatively different from modern western pranks. American hooligans, even when drunk, would have enough sense to avoid a rabid-looking hamster. You'd have to go back a century or two to find this level of suicidal drunken oblivion.
