as a general rule, your videos are very beautiful by themselves. They become even more beautiful to me, a lover of Russia and all Russian things, because of the insight they give into the Russian culture. What a relief to see Russia beyond dry encyclopedic data! This time I found the music t be particularly superb. I'm now even more wishful to grab my books again and get back on the work to learn this wonderful, yet challenging, language of yours.
Agnessa and Mescovic,this was a most enjoyable video.I can only guess that this is a mid-winter celebration and that the tradition is very old. It appears everyone is having a wonderful time (except for the man catching a fist at 1:40) :o) Thanks for the wonderful share. The photos are super,the music delightful and the edit perfect!
@tps607 Thank you, It is an ancient Spring festival as well as similar to Carnival for Catholics. In the past it was a time for warriors to practice and compete in tests of strength which is still kept today. The photograph at 1:40 is a competition where try to last the longest against blows in your chest. Under the communist they suppressed this week long holiday.
@cortezawwris This is similar in some ways to other Pre-Christian traditions in other areas of Europe. I think the Celts could relate to this. Your video is gorgeous and the music is a very nice compliment to it. I am pleased to watch it again and again...thank you for making and posting this.
