We have a tradition to walk in the decorated center of Moscow every year. This year we were in Holland and I was afraid that we would break that tradition.
But luckily this year Moscow is still decorated. Last years the decorations were removed by the mid of January. But this year we were lucky and the decorations and different attractions were still there.
It looked funny but it was interesting to see Christmas Trees together with decorations for welcome spring holiday Maslenitsa. Maslenitsa is a holiday to say good - bye to winter and welcome spring. Today Maslenitsa week has started. This week people bake pancakes, a symbol of sun. It is always before fasting which will start next week and will last for 49 days and then it will be Easter.
I would like to share some photos from beautiful Moscow. I took pictures with a mobile. I took a camera but forgot to insert a memory card.))))

Thank you for sharing, what visuals! Aesthetically, Russia has the most beautiful cities I have ever seen pictures of. Nice to see that they party all year; that must help to stave off the winter blues. We need to make some more winter holidays popular in the northern US. It is ok until Christmas; because you get that warm, Christmasy feeling, but January through March is just depressing.

When I was younger, I was at Krakow for Erasmus student change programme. This post reminded me my beloved times at Europe. I loved Russia with Pushkin. Then I read Gogol, Dostoyevski and Bulgakov. Russia has got many traditions to follow. Also your posts should be read by many other dear @aksinya. Thank you very much...

Ohhh you impressed me....not many people can tell that they read Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoyevski and Bulgakov. Now I am reading Pushkin's fairy-tales to my 5 y.o. daughter. We read Gogol, Dostoyevsky and Bulgakov at school. And I plan to re-read it one day. And Bulgakov's Master and Margarita is my favourite. I have read it several times after school.

I love to read Pushkin really. I read many stories about him like Roslavlyov, Dubrovsky, Kirjali, Istoria Pugachyova and Povesti pokoynogo Ivana Petrovicha Belkina :P I heard about fairy-tales but I couldn't read it yet. I hope one day I can read all Pushkin books. Also in love with Gogol and Bulgakov's talent about humor. :))
