This year 2024 we will have Maslenitsa in Russia, from 11th of March till 17th of March.
In Russia they are celebrating Maslenitsa which lasts seven days, and this time is called: Pancake week…
Every day this week has its own name and customs, which are derived from the name. For example:
Monday is called “a meeting”. – With the first pancake it is tradition to give to beggars for them to mention the poor dead…
Tuesday is called “zaigrysh” (games). – On this day, the morning begins with any funny game…
Wednesday is called “gourmand” – (A gourmand is a person who takes great pleasure in food.) On this day, the hostess act on saying: “What is in the oven, First of all delicacies, of course, pancakes.” On this day Mother in-laws invite Son in-laws to eat pancakes…
Thursday – “razguliay”. – On this day begins Maslenitsa full strength. As well as helping to drive winter away and bring the sun into play again. Example to do this, like riding horses clockwise around the village…
Friday – “Teschin evening” (Inlaws). – Son in-law invites Mother in-law and treat them pancakes…
Saturday, the “zolovkiny chat” – Sister in-law invites female relatives of her husband. If the husband’s sisters were married, the daughter of guests invited and their unmarried friends. But if the sister was already married, she invited relatives married. Bride daughter had bestowed their gifts zolovok…
Sunday the last day – of Maslenitsa is called “Forgiveness Sunday”. On this day, you should apologize to all relatives and friends for all the resentment, thus relieved of their sins before Lent. Also on the last day of Pancake week, you burn a man of straw – the symbol of winter. The ashes of the man of straw fly all over the fields – for a rich summer harvest.”
In the past I have made Svetochka pancakes with cottage cheese just like she likes them. She was a happy Russian…
We are dieting this year. 🙁

Everything is obvious to everyone.
And the fact that there was no attack on the motorcade in Odessa.
And if the goal had been set, we would have hit it.And the fact that the bloody clown (Zelensky) is just a cocaine shadow of his master, a blind anti-Russian weapon.
And the fact that, in principle, it does not matter who holds the position of leader of the neo-Nazi regime.
But it’s still somehow annoying.
It’s a pity that they definitely ended up in a pre-planned place. And that His Majesty, chance, with his punishing finger, did not decide the fate of the first genital musician differently.
Nullum malum sine aliquo bono! (There is, in fact, no evil without some good)

https://ru.usembassy.gov/security-alert-avoid-large-gatherings-over-the-next-48-hours/
Location: Moscow, Russia
The Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and U.S. citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours.
Actions to Take:
- Avoid crowds.
- Monitor local media for updates.
- Be aware of your surroundings.
Again I am posting such items for data collection of the activities that the USA and West are doing like this. I also see that the UK has posted a warning also…
And we know who are the extremists!

Update: 🇺🇲🇷🇺❗️The US Embassy has issued a very suspicious warning for Americans in Moscow:
“The Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to attack large gatherings in Moscow, including concerts, and US citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings for the next 48 hours .”
I do hope that the USA passed on known information to the appropriate channels? Or else the USA is guilty in crimes committed. Either way, the USA is behind it all…
Update: 🇬🇧🇷🇺❗️On the website of the British Foreign Office there was also a message about a possible threat of terrorist attacks in the Russian Federation in the next 48 hours.
Yes, the nasty twins are being nasty…
