Maslenica 2025. Traditional Russian patterns, samovar, stove made from old boxes.
Maslenitsa is a traditional Eastern Slavic festival welcoming spring and the start of the Orthodox Lent season. It is also known as Butter Week (“maslo” is the Russian word for butter). During this week, blini, thin Russian pancakes, are eaten in great quantities. The traditional attributes of the Maslenitsa celebration are the Maslenitsa effigy, sleigh rides, and festivities. Russians bake blini and flatbread, while Belarusians and Ukrainians cook pierogi and syrniki.
