🔻The Scarlet Sails is an amazing celebration in St. Petersburg, the most massive and famous public event during the White Nights Festival every summer.
🔻Scarlet Sails is an event dedicated to school graduates.
🔻This tradition began in 1968, when several Leningrad schools united to celebrate at the end of the school year in connection with the symbolism of the popular 1923 romantic novel Scarlet Sails by Alexander Grin.
🔻The show, apart from rock concerts, ballet and other classical acts, also includes a series of large-scale events on the waters of the Neva River, such as rowing and motorboat races and a massive battle with pirates culminating in the appearance of a tall ship sporting spectacular scarlet sails.
🔻The ship with scarlet sails floating along the Neva represents an allegoric encouragement to young people to believe in their dreams.
🔻This year the festival will be held on 28th of June.

❤️ The Ural Mountains are the oldest mountains on the planet, dating back 4.2 billion years.
❤️ There has never been slavery in Russia. Serfdom was abolished in 1861.
❤️ Equality between men and women was proclaimed in 1918, earlier than in Europe and America.
