Переведите : ‘maslenitsa’ is the week before lent. it’s when russians say goodbye to winter and welcome spring. it’s a time of singing, dancing and fun. there’s a lot to eat , too especially- blinis, which are delicious butter pancakes. children dress up and play in the snow. we go for sleigh rides, go sledging, have snowball fights and lots more. we make a straw doll of ‘ lady maslenitsa’, who is dressed in special clothes. on sunday evening, we burn lady maslenitsa on a big bonfire. the spring festival is over and lent begins.
