The festival is week-long. It starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. Troika
rides, sledging, puppet theater, pole climbing, tug-of-war contests and fireworks
are all part of the Maslenitsa celebrations. There is usually a storming of a snow
fort. In the 18th century there were dear shows too! But don't be afraid if you see
a bear now. It is an actor dressed in a bear costume!
The week ends with burning the scarecrow Maslenitsa, a symbol of winter. In
this way people say goodbye to winter till the next year and welcome the coming of
spring.​Переведите на русский
