Фестиваль «Московское варенье» / Moscow Jam Festival

Festivals are popular all over the world. There are different types of them: music festivals, sport festivals etc. People visit such events to have a good time and to see something extraordinary.

Recently I visited “Flower jam” fest. It is held in Moscow annually. It starts at the end of August and lasts about two weeks.

The fest was not limited to a single location. There were floral arrangements and jam fairs in many districts of Moscow. My parents and I went to the center of Moscow to see the most impressive art objects. I liked the most Installations in Stoleshnikov lane and compositions of roses in the square of the Revolution.

One could buy jam for any taste and other sweets. There were both traditional and exotic jams. We bought a jar of jam with blueberries and lavender. It turned out to be very tasty.

The program of the fest included excursions, competitions and master classes. I attended a master class on making a fruit tea. Now I can make it for my family.

The next day I took part in a flower bed design competition. It was held not far from my school. I did not win but it was an interesting exrerience.

So I liked “Flower jam” festival very much. I hope we will visit it again next year.

Фестивали популярны во всем мире. Есть такие разновидности как музыкальные фестивали, спортивные фестивали и др. Люди посещают такие мероприятия, чтобы хорошо провести время и увидеть что-то необычное.

Недавно я посетила фестиваль «Цветочный джем». Он проводится в Москве ежегодно. Он начинается в конце августа и длится около двух недель.

Фестиваль не ограничивался одной площадкой. Во многих районах Москвы были цветочные композиции и ярмарки варенья. Мы с родителями поехали в центр Москвы, чтобы посмотреть самые впечатляющие арт-объекты. Больше всего мне понравились инсталляции в Столешниковом переулке и композиции из роз на площади Революции.

Можно было купить варенье на любой вкус и другие сладости. Здесь были как традиционные, так и экзотические джемы. Мы купили банку варенья с черникой и лавандой. Оно оказалось очень вкусным.

Программа фестиваля включала экскурсии, конкурсы и мастер-классы. Я посетила мастер-класс по приготовлению фруктового чая. Теперь я могу делать такой чай для своей семьи.

На следующий день я принимала участие в конкурсе дизайна клумбы. Он проходил недалеко от моей школы. Я не выиграла, но это был интересный опыт.

Так что мне очень понравился фестиваль “Цветочный джем». Я надеюсь, что мы посетим его снова в следующем году.

New Year’s Day is a national holiday in Russia, in which most businesses and public offices are closed.

Russian children believe in the Grandfather Frost who wears a long red fur coat, a hat and felt boots and carries gifts in a large sack on his back. Grandfather Frost often comes with his granddaughter, Snegurochka or the Snow Girl.

Every major city has New Year festivals, concerts, fairs and other celebratory events. Main squares are decorated with trees, lights and decorations, everywhere there are music and fireworks.

В каждом крупном городе есть новогодние праздники, концерты, ярмарки и другие праздничные мероприятия. Главные площади украшены деревьями, огнями и игрушками, везде музыка и салюты.

Сочинение про Новый год на английском

Many people stay at home with their parents, getting together watching TV shows. Some people gather with friends. The others go to the warm countries, and some will spend the New Year’s day at work.

We say goodbye to the Old year and welcome the New year. Everyone gathers at the table before midnight, usually around 10 pm. Traditional meals include Russian salad «Herring under fur coat» and champagne.

Watching special holiday programs and our beloved Soviet films on TV is an indispensable part of the New Year’s celebration.

Every year at 23:55 pm, the President addresses the nation with a short speech and thanks the people for their support. The Russian national anthem begins at midnight, people congratulate each other and exchange presents.

When the clock starts striking midnight at the Kremlin’s Spasskaya Tower, we are toasting with champagne and make wishes. To the wish comes true, we write the wish down on a scrap of paper, burn it, throw the ashes into the champagne glass and drink it before the clock strikes 12. We have the first toast «To the New Year, to the new Happiness!»

New Year’s Day is a public holiday. It is a day off for the general population, and schools and most businesses are closed.

The New Year is the most beloved holiday among Russians.
The way you meet the new year is the way you will spend it.

Перевод

Многие остаются дома со своими родителями, собираются вместе и смотрят телепередачи. Некоторые собираются с друзьями. Другие отправляются в теплые страны, а некоторые проведут новогодний день на работе.

Мы прощаемся со Старым годом и встречаем Новый. Все собираются за столом до полуночи, обычно около 10 вечера. Традиционные блюда включают русский салат «Селедка под шубой» и шампанское.

Просмотр специальных праздничных программ и наших любимых советских фильмов по телевизору является неотъемлемой частью празднования Нового года.

Каждый год в 23:55 Президент обращается к народу с короткой речью и благодарит людей за их поддержку. Гимн России начинается в полночь, люди поздравляют друг друга и обмениваются подарками.

Когда в Кремлевской Спасской башне начинают бить часы, мы пьем шампанское и загадываем желания. Чтобы желание сбылось, мы пишем желание на кусочке бумаги, сжигаем его, бросаем пепел в бокал с шампанским и пьем его до того, как часы пробьют 12. У нас есть первый тост «С Новым годом, с новым счастьем!»

Новый год — государственный праздник. Это выходной день для большинства населения, а школы и многие предприятия закрыты.

Новый год — самый любимый праздник среди россиян.
Как Новый год встретишь, так его и проведешь.

The best Russian festivals and celebrations

The best of Russia’s festivals celebrate the rich Russian culture, religion, and history, alongside a vibrant mix of music, film, theatre, food, and snow festivals.

Traditional Russian festivals celebrate religious occasions such as Easter and Christmas plus historical and political events. Sprinkled in are summer music festivals and events celebrating food, film and theater – and, of course, snow and ice. Here’s an interesting mix of some of the best festivals and celebrations in Russia.

7 January: Russian Orthodox Christmas

Along with other religious celebrations, Christmas was banned in Russia after the 1917 Revolution. Russians could only openly observe Christmas in 1992. The Russian Orthodox church – and almost all Russians – celebrate Christmas (the birth of Jesus) on 7 January. It’s mainly a religious occasion, when families gather together to attend church services on Christmas Eve (6 January). They then go home to feast on a special holy supper, which includes kutia, a porridge with raisins. Some people attend all-night vigils at church; others just go on Christmas morning.

25 January: Tatyana’s Day

Tatyana’s Day is Russian Students Day. When Elizabeth, Empress of Russia signed a decree to establish Moscow State University on 25 January 1755 – the saint’s day of third-century Christian martyr St Tatyana – St Tatyana became the patron saint of students. Most university towns have St Tatyana celebrations, holding balls and choosing the best Tatyana from the students.

January: International Festival of Snow and Ice Sculpture, Krasnoyarsk

The Magic Ice of Siberia is an international competition on the banks of the Yenisei River in Krasnoyarsk. Teams of sculptors, architects, and artists create massive frozen artworks to compete in two categories: snow and ice. Runs 23 February–12 March 2019.

February: Maslenitsa Festival

Seven weeks before Easter are the week-long Maslenitsa festivities – Russia’s pancake week. They combine the pagan tradition of marking the transition from winter to spring with the Christian tradition of feasting before Lent. Each day there are different activities: making Maslenitsa dolls from straw and old clothes, making and eating lots of pancakes (blinis), sledging, playing on seesaws, singing, fistfights, visiting the in-laws, exchanging gifts, feasting, and drinking tea or vodka. The Maslenitsa dolls burn on the final day, and people jump over bonfires.

Celebrations start the night before Easter Sunday. Churches fill with lights and, at dawn, the bells ring out to announce the arrival of Easter. Everyone paints boiled eggs in bright colors and has a traditional feast. Typical Easter foods are round sweet bread as well as Easter cake served with sweetened curds, butter and raisins. Runs 4–10 March 2019.

8 March: International Women’s Day

Symbolizing women’s equality, most people in Russia refer to International Women’s Day just as ‘the eighth of March’. It’s a day for celebrating women’s achievements. People have time off work, workplaces organize celebrations, and everyone gives gifts to the important women in their lives.

April: Moscow International Film Festival

The very first Moscow International Film Festival (MIFF) was in 1935 when the jury was headed up by world-renowned film-maker Sergei Eisenstein (of Battleship Potemkin fame). It became a regular event on the cultural calendar in 1959. More than 200 films from 50 different countries are screened, with the best picture winning the Golden George. The 2019 MIFF takes place from 18–25 April.

March/April: Golden Mask Theater Festival, Moscow

The Golden Mask Theater Festival is an all-Russian theater festival and competition. It covers all genres from drama to modern dance and puppet theater. The Golden Mask festivals takes place in Moscow, with the awards ceremony scheduled for 16 April 2019.

May-July: White Nights Festival, St Petersburg

Due to St Petersburg’s northerly location, the sun never fully sets in St Petersburg between May and mid-June. You can talk a walk at midnight and still see the sun on the horizon. This provides the romantic backdrop for the annual White Nights Festival, an arts festival with music and dance by Russian and international stars. The Mariinsky Theatre has a program of more than 175 operas, ballets, and classical concerts – and locals snap up tickets pretty quickly. There are carnivals, also, the best being in the suburb of Peterhof where actors dress up in historical costume from the time of Peter the Great and re-enact historical events.

9 May: Victory Day

Victory Day celebrates the end of World War II with parades, spectacular fireworks and displays of military strength. The most impressive event is in Moscow’s Red Square, where soldiers, tanks, missiles, and other military equipment are on display on the ground while military planes fly overhead. Military memorials all over Russia are spruced up, and there are displays in museums.

June: Scarlet Sails, St Petersburg

The White Nights Festival culminates with Scarlet Sails, the largest annual public gathering in Russia with more than a million people watching a mock pirate battle on the River Neva, a firework show, and a tall ship with sails the color of blood. The event celebrates the end of the school year. Runs 23–24 June 2019.

June: Ivan Kupala Night

This is a summer solstice celebration related to John the Baptist (Ivan means ‘John’ and kupala is related to a Slavic word for ‘bathing’) and 23–24 June in the Julian calendar is used by the Orthodox church. Girls wear flower or herb wreaths on their heads, and in the evening the wreaths are decorated with burning candles and set afloat; the girl whose wreath travels the farthest will have the happiest year ahead, and the candle that burns the longest means a long life. People light bonfires and jump over them for good luck. Some seek a special flowering fern said to direct the finder towards treasure. There are fireworks, of course.

June: Taste of Moscow

Each year a selection of Moscow’s top restaurants opens their doors for three days of masterclasses and tasting sessions, open to all the family (there’s usually a special entertainment zone with a children’s menu). There are also zones for different types of food, drink, and music to create a party atmosphere. Around 200 different masterclasses are on offer, for both Russian and international foods. The 2019 Taste of Moscow takes place 27–30 June.

June: Wild Mint Folk Festival

This large, open-air world folk music festival takes place in the Ethnomir complex in Moscow every summer. Over several days, Russian and international musicians perform a variety of folk-based genres – afro-beat, ethno-jazz, raga, Russian folk – and there are also food stalls, markets, and body and soul workshops. The 2019 festival will take place 28–30 June.

July: Nashestvie, Moscow

This big, open-air rock festival focuses on Russian rock bands. Nashestvie is organized by Russian rock station Nashe Radio (the station responsible for Russian’s major rock music chart ‘Chart Dozen’). The festival’s name means ‘invasion’ in Russian but many people call the festival the ‘Russian Woodstock’. It’s a good place to see both established and up-and-coming musicians from around Russia and neighboring states. The 2019 festival takes place 5–7 July.

August: Afisha Picnic, Moscow

This may just be a one-day event but it’s one of the oldest and best-known music festivals in Russia. It’s held in the grounds of Kolomenskoye, a former Tsar’s estate on the banks of the Moscow River. It attracts big Russian and international names such as the Kaiser Chiefs, Courtney Love, Jamiroquai and Madness. The 2019 Afisha Picnic festival takes place on 3 August.

Early November: Day of Accord and Reconciliation, Moscow

There’s a big parade in Red Square and many other events, usually around the Kremlin, to celebrate the communist revolution in 1917/1918.

Mid-December to mid-January: Russian Winter Festival

All Russian cities have Winter Festivals celebrating the best of Russian culture, but the biggest and best is in Moscow. This is a huge annual event with activities all around the city, which is decked with thousands of fairy lights. In Izmailovo Park you can also watch performances of folk songs and dances, ice skate, sled or take a ride in one of the three-horse sleighs called troikas. Gorky Park is famous for its magnificent ice sculptures. In Revolution Square you can buy crafts, eat warm pancakes or bagels spread with jam or honey, listen to a balalaika concert or watch a fashion show.

December/January: New Year

As Christmas was banned for many years in Russia, many of the Christmas traditions were diverted to the New Year celebrations on New Years’ Eve on 31 December. People now decorate New Year trees instead of Christmas trees and Ded Moroz (Father Frost), accompanied by his granddaughter Snegurochka (Snow Maiden), delivers presents instead of Father Christmas. Families enjoy feasts, listen to the President’s New Year Speech and the Kremlin clock strikes midnight. Many Russians also celebrate a second New Year on 13–14 January or Old New Year, a tradition dating back to the old Julian calendar. Concerts, carnivals and street fairs – and a large ice rink in Red Square – are part of the fun.

Throughout the year: Chekhov International Theater Festival, Moscow and beyond

Established in 1992 and named in honor of Russia’s most famous playwright and author, Anton Chekhov, the annual Chekhov International Theater Festival brings together theater companies from all over the world as well as Russia. There are also joint productions. Performances are primarily in Moscow but there are sometimes shows that tour other major cities such as St Petersburg and into the regions.
