A kind Maslenitsa

On March 2, the outdoor celebration of Maslenitsa took place in the yard of the house №286; 9 January st.. Merry festivals on Forgiveness Sunday were traditionally organized by the “Kindness” Foundation and Alexander Zhukov.

Locals love this holiday, which always brings a storm of cheers to both children and adults. And how can you be indifferent to fragrant hot pancakes with sour cream or jam?! Everyone got those delicious pancakes and warmed themselves with hot tea and lively dancing.

The program of the event was a mixture of fun contests for children and their parents with performances of folk bands, musicians and singers. Among all of those talented people was an honored actress of Russia Lubov Kontsova who sang touching songs.


The winners, participants and even fans were awarded with gifts. Moreover, everybody was glad to solve puzzles, dance and applause for singers and musicians.

“The point is to share smiles with all people” – said the organizer of Maslenitsa A. Zhukov – “It is always pleasure to see happy faces of children, smiles of their parents, grannies and grandfathers. Traditions, and especially festivals, are disappearing every day. These events serve to meet specific social and psychological needs of the people of the country and they unite people and make them take a stroll, chat and forget about tedious life. It is of high importance to keep, follow and hand on the traditions.

The burning of Kostroma (a scarecrow) has become the brightest and the most remarkable ending of the festival. Children and adults, singing chastooshkas, merrily celebrated the imminent end of the winter and the beginning of the spring hoping for warm and sunny days and luck as well.
