Feb. 23 is officially Defenders of the Fatherland Day and was formerly known as Red Army Day. In any case, this day – making its debut as a holiday on which you get the day off work – is made for males in Russia to relax and be pampered.

1. Propaganda
What's the official Army Dance? That's right – marching. Here you can practice all night long.

2. Expat
Males who come here won't ever have had anything to do with Red Army Day. But they can still relax.

3. XIII
Masquerades and carnivals are standard procedure here, so your old Army cap will do almost any day, but on Feb. 23 it just won't be "original" enough.

4. Schwein
Eat like only men do in this club. Pork in all forms is represented here. Portraits of pigs of all ages, even as young piggies, are hung on the wall, while salo, a Ukrainian delicacy made out of pork fat, is always available in huge quantities.

5. Sixteen Tons
Strangely enough, the management of this club is calling its Men's Day Party "Lord of the Rings." So grab your sword and bow and dance away to the film's soundtrack, worked over by some top DJs.

6. Ministerstvo
For generals only. Or officers who have served their country with designer-outfit honors. Without this you probably just won't get in.

7. Tsentralnaya Stantsiya
Umm, well, this place is usually considered a gay club. If you think it has nothing to do with Men's Day – don't come here. Otherwise, do.

8. Botanik
Meet the director of the new male-orientated Russian movie "Two Comrades," based on Voinovich's manly old book, and watch the tense drama unfold for Men's Day.

9. Hungry Duck
You won't find anything like this in the Army. A place for real men's instincts to be released.

10. Bunker
The name in itself just might attract males who are nostalgic for their Army days. The club's only resemblance to an Army bunker, though, is that it's underground.
