Indians had to strain their phantasy to imagine themselves in March Russia, when the snowdrifts were melting, the temperature is barely above zero and everyone was waiting for the arrival of warmth. But artists from the Indian Association of Russian Compatriots (IARC) and the Russian House helped immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the East Slavic traditional holiday Maslenitsa in tropical Delhi.
Russian folk songs, ditties and round dances, Russian mobile round dance game “rucheyok” (“streamlet”) and athletic contest tug-of-war... And then - pancakes with tea for Indian students and schoolchildren and respectable VIPs and foreign diplomats.
