Fiery Maslenitsa marked the beginning of spring in Kolkata
On 13th of March 2022, a celebration of Maslenitsa, an ancient Slavic spring festival, was held at the Russian House in Kolkata. The festival signifies the seeing off winter and welcoming of spring, generally it is held last week before the Great Lent.
To mark the occasion, an exhibition of traditional Russian crafts and folk dresses from a private collection was organized by the Indian Association of Russian Compatriots. Guests of the event have been introduced to the significance of the festival and its rituals, meaning of different kinds of Maslenitsa dolls and the straw effigy of "winter".
Students of Russian language courses along with Russian compatriots played several Maslenitsa-specific folk games: braid weaving of Maslenitsa effigy, "Streamlet" ("Ручеёк" in Russian), "Winks" ("Мигалки"), competed in tug-of-war and finally burned the effigy.
The name of the festival derives from the word "butter" ("масло" in Russian), and different kinds of Russian pancakes have been offered, as this dish resembles the Sun in its color and shape. Russian Maslenitsa is very similar to Indian Holi.

Широкая Масленица ознаменовала начало весны в Калькутте
13 марта 2022 года в Русском доме в Калькутте состоялось празднование Масленицы. Праздник знаменует собой проводы зимы и встречу весны, как правило, он проводится в последнюю неделю перед Великим постом.
Индийская ассоциация российских соотечественников организовала выставку народных промыслов промыслов и костюмов из частной коллекции. Гостей мероприятия познакомили со значением праздника и его обрядов, смыслом различных видов масленичных кукол и соломенного чучела «зимы».
Студенты курсов русского языка вместе с российскими соотечественниками приняли участие в нескольких народных масленичных играх: плели косы чучела, играли в «Ручеёк», «Мигалки», соревновались в перетягивании каната и произвели сожжение чучела.
Гости продегустировали разные виды блинов, традиционных на Масленицу, так как своим цветом и формой они напоминают солнце. Русская Масленица очень похожа на индийский праздник Холи.

According to the online publication Reliable Russia News (https://rrussianews.com/news/the-head-of-instagram-believes-that-russophobia-and-calls-for-murder-are-not-the-reason-for -blocking/), Instagram CEO Adam Mozzeri declined to comment on the actions of his company, which introduced a new policy allowing calls for violence against Russians and Russian military personnel.
At the same time, in his Twitter account, he expressed regret that the social network stops working in the country: “Instagram will be blocked in Russia on Monday. This decision will cut off 80 million users in Russia from each other and from the rest of the world, because approximately 80% of people in Russia are subscribed to foreign accounts. It is not right".
