MALENITSA FESTIVAL IN RUSSIA
Russia’s Maslenitsa festival rings in the passing of winter. Also known as ‘pancake week’, the traditional Russian festivity is famous for its blini (pancakes) with many fillings and toppings: sour cream, caviar, salmon, jam and honey.
It is thought that the name Maslenitsa (variously translated as “Butter Week,” “Cheese Week,” or “Pancake Week” in English) comes from the fact that, according to Russian Orthodox tradition, meat is already off-limits by Shrovetide week, but dairy is not. Maslenitsa is well-known for its seven days of festivities and final dose of gluttony, as it’s the last week that Orthodox Russians can eat dairy before Lent. Naturally, each day of the festival involves pancakes, butter and many indulgent toppings, as Russians celebrate the arrival of Spring with an abundance of food, drinks, sledding and snowball fights.
Maslenitsa contains both pagan and Christian traditions and is celebrated in the last week before Great Lent, or the seventh week before Eastern Orthodox Easter. The most characteristic part of the festival is the pancakes – Russians feast on ‘blini,’ which are round and golden pancakes made up of rich foods still allowed by the Orthodox tradition, mainly butter, eggs and milk.
In Moscow alone, more than 500 events are planned every year to celebrate the Slavic folk holiday. The main events are set in the city’s parks, museum clusters and estates, as well as along pedestrian streets in Russian cities.
Sunday is the final day, day of forgiving – when people forgive the wrongs done against them and burn the Maslenitsa mascot, a straw doll dressed in a female costume with a pancake in her hand. This practice has become an almost iconic symbol of the festival, and the imminent end of winter.
In 2025, Maslenitsa will be celebrated from February 24 to March 2.

NEW YEAR FIREWORKS IN ZURICH, SWITZERLAND. 🇨🇭
Zurich reigns as the country’s New Year’s celebration hub. Silvesterzauber, or New Year’s Magic, has transformed Lake Zurich into a dazzling spectacle, growing from a modest gathering on Gemüsebrücke in 1988 into a vibrant celebration that now attracts around 150,000 visitors. Fireworks light up the lake, with various spots buzzing with DJs, food stalls, and drinks. The magic of the evening is palpable, whether soaking in the atmosphere along the Limmat River or indulging in the luxury of one of Zurich’s five-star hotels, like the historic Baur au Lac, which offers an unbeatable view of the fireworks.
The evening often starts with locals gathering in the city centre to hear the chimes of the Grossmünster bells – an introspective moment in contrast with the quirky custom of dropping ice cream on the ground for good luck. As midnight nears, some embrace the high-energy Neujahrsmarathon, a marathon that kicks off at midnight and pulses through the city.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE GO AURORA HUNTING IN RUSSIA?

1.WEATHER FORECAST
The two most important things in predicting Aurora are weather forecast (clouds are not good to see Aurora) as well as a forecast of geomagnetic storms. Now there are many gadget apps where you can watch it. But it does not guarantee that you will see Aurora at all!
To predict the Aurora, also can use open satellite data of the "solar wind" (flow of charged particles) and their behavior on its way to Earth. It helps to understand should you expect the Aurora in the night and how intense it will be.
Weather is of high importance, too. It's not easy to see spectacular dance of the Northern Lights through the clouds (those are quite common in Kola region). So we need to watch the cloud coverage and its dynamic within the whole region to find a place with a cloudless sky.

2. WARM CLOTHES
In Murmansk and Kirovsk, northern Russian regions, the summers are short, cool, and mostly cloudy and the winters are long, frigid, snowy, and overcast. In winter period the temperature drops to -15С -30С.
So it's very important to prepare a good worm clothes for this trip.
1. Underwear. First layer and very important is a good underwear. It's can be soft cotton T-shirt or long sleeve. It is best to buy in a special thermal underwear for cold weather. Women can wear worm tights and men special pants.Аnd dont forget about warm socks!
2. Second layer:sweater or fleece jacket & jeans or worm pants.
3. Top layer - an elongated down jacket or a jacket on a sintepon, scarf and warm cap & mittens
4. Winter bootswinter boots, warmed with fur or special insoles.
Now you are ready for edventures!

VELIKY USTUG - A RUSSIAN CITY WITH THE BIGGEST NEW YEAR SPIRIT!
This ancient city-museum under the open sky attracts visitors particularly in the cold season. After all, it is the home of Grandfather Frost!
The Russian North has a large number of old towns and villages that are worthy of a visit. But, without a doubt, Veliky Ustyug in the Vologda Oblast stands out. It is located 450 km northeast of Vologda, almost on the border with Arkhangelsk Region.
The city became famous for its craftsmen. It is the birthplace of "frost on tin", northern silver niello and other unique crafts. Many crafts have survived to this day.
Veliky Ustyug is a real museum city. There are more than 150 objects of cultural heritage there, including 28 magnificent temples of the 17th-18th centuries.

‘Sobornoye Dvorishche’ is the heart of the city, which is impossible to pass by unnoticed. It is a temple complex (17th-18th cc.) consisting of the Assumption Cathedral with a bell tower, the Cathedral of Prokopy the Righteous and the Church of John the Righteous, as well as several other household buildings.
The cathedrals stand on the embankment overlooking the opposite bank of the Sukhona River and the Dymkovskaya Sloboda with its ancient churches.
Today, Veliky Ustyug is also one of the most popular places in Russia for winter tourism, because there are two residences of ‘Ded Moroz’ there. In the city center is his first residence, which occupies a 19th-century merchant's house.
And his country house, where he hosts guests, is nearby Veliky Ustyug. During the winter vacations, special tourist trains run to the Veliky Ustyug railway station.
The first mention of it dates back to the year 1147. This date makes it the same age as Moscow. In fact, people lived there even earlier. Slavs settled on these northern outskirts, because of the favorable trade position: two rivers – Sukhona and Yug (‘Ust-Yug’ literally means “mouth of the river Yug”) – merge there, by which one can quickly reach the Northern Dvina and, further, the White Sea. And from there, it’s an easy path to both Europe and Asia.

The extensive grounds include some other lovely buildings, such as the Small Palace, the working Church of Our Lady Lifegiving Spring, the cavalier buildings, greenhouses with tropical plants and some interesting bridges. A pond is bedecked with a fantastic fountain set to music. The English-style wooded park stretches all the way south to the Upper Tsaritsynsky Pond, which has rowing boats available for hire in summer, and west to the Tsaritsyno Palace complex. #gdsgrouptravel #panitthawongsuk #tsaritsyno #moscow
