Maslenitsa Week, the last week before Great Lent, is one of the most joyful Slavic holidays, and this year it runs from March 11 to 17. If you are in Moscow, you have a chance to take part in various activities in different parts of the city. During the festival, you will be able to take part in master classes, watch fairy tale and choir performances, and try pancakes—the main attribute of this holiday.
