The pictures aren't all that spectacular, but climbing the Great Pyrmid in the dark sure is a wild stunt.
I wonder what "Hold muh beer" equates to in Russian...

It looks like they weren’t the first, if I’m not mistaken that graffiti carved into the stone in the first photo.

Pretty gutsy considering who’s in charge in Egypt.

I have been told that a bribe to the guards might give anyone such access.

I think the pics are really spectacular.
the only thing that would have made them better is is an 0dumb0 drone was flying by at the same time. :)

I climbed that same pyramid in the late 80’s, but didn't make it to the top. Still, I was amazed that they would allow anyone to climb on them. I would not have done it in the dark. The only way to do it was to pay someone a few pounds. Once you paid, it was all good. Wish I'd taken the same pictures they did.

Is that “Hold my beer” or “Hold my bear”?

In the first picture; I wonder if those buildings are the Egyptian version of Section Eight housing?

Two college friends of mine did exactly the same thing back in 1974. The guards spotted them, yelled a lot, but did not climb up after them. They spent the night (cold and uncomfortable) at the top, which is flat as the pinnacle stones were removed centuries ago, and came back down as it became light enough to see. What these Russians did is no biggie. Thousands of people have pulled that stunt.

“I have been told that a bribe to the guards might give anyone such access.”.
True that. I bribed a guard to let me take a photo while inside one of the pyramids. I did not use a flash so no damage was done.
