Travel: Southern Maslenitsa


The Carnival carnival, as it was in the old days, will be seen by the guests of the village of Starocherkasskaya, Rostov region. In fact, this is a procession where strangely dressed people ride horses. And where is there without Cossack fun? Archery and crossbow shooting, a battle with mallets (wooden hammers or potato masher), running with a rocker arm, searching for an object in a stack and sawing logs at speed are expected. Similar holidays are expected in other places of the Rostov region: on Mukhina Balka in Aksai, in the villages of Vyoshenskaya, Razdorskaya, on the farm Obukhovka (www.dontourism.ru ).

Tour from Moscow to Starocherkasskaya — approx. 15,500 rubles for 2 days.

In Astrakhan, Maslenitsa begins with a theatrical street procession. There are a couple of dozen playgrounds: on some you can dance a lady, on others you can bake bread. The site "Kazachye podvorye" dominates over all. This is a life-size kuren, furnished like in a real Cossack family. Imbued with the Cossack fun, you can participate in a ditto contest. Just keep in mind: the winner will have to take a live goose or rooster with them (www.travel30.ru ).

Tour from Moscow to Astrakhan — approx. 14,900 rubles for 2 days.

Maslenitsa is used as an excuse to show military skills by reenactors from the Shatun Club in Volgograd. They specialize in the late Middle Ages, so the audience will have the opportunity to see sword fighting, mace throwing, archery and other amusements of that time. The bravest will be offered to climb the “ice pillar” (welcomevolgograd.com ).

Tour from Moscow to Volgograd — approx. 10,200 rubles for 4 days.


Flour is not the main thing in Razdorsky pancakes, they put very little of it, and they do not take yeast and soda at all. But there are already 15 eggs. You need to use yesterday's milk. And another secret ingredient is millet porridge. Cooking in a Russian oven also makes them special. www.razdory-museum.ru

In Kalmykia, sometimes, as happened last year, Maslenitsa coincides with Tsagan Sar— the Kalmyk New Year. On such a day in Elista, you can not only eat pancakes, but also try Kalmyk salted tea with milk and the New Year's dish bortsoki — muffins made of pastry. www.minkult08.ru

"Staraya Sarepta" is a former colony of the Gernguter brotherhood, and now a museum located on the outskirts of Volgograd. The history of this community, which came from Germany under Catherine II, is very fascinating. Their diligence and perseverance in developing these lands are amazing. On Shrovetide, the museum tells about the traditions of the holiday in different countries of the world. www.altsarepta.ru Every player has different priorities, whether it's football betting, live markets, or casino entertainment, so comparing promotional offers before registering is always worthwhile.
