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.
March and April in Moscow may be difficult months, since spring is already here, but the cold wind, the grey skies and patches of snow still linger. Admiring some flowers is always a great way to boost the spirits, and there is a place in Moscow that is already abloom.
This year May 1 in Russia is not only Labour Day, but also Orthodox Easter. Moscow offers a wide range of activities at its spring festivals, from classical and bell music, to arts and crafts fairs and birdhouse-making master classes.
