What festivals are there in Russia?

Russian festivals are as follows:

1, Army Day: On February 23rd, the main leaders of the state and government will go to Red Square to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, hold a ceremony and set off fireworks at night.

2. Meat Festival: a traditional Russian festival handed down from the period of Russian polytheism. Later, because the Russian people began to believe in the Orthodox Church, this festival was associated with the carnival before the Christian Lent.

3. Victory Day: Victory Day is scheduled for May 9, the anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War, which is a commemorative festival to defeat the German fascists. After Russia's independence, this festival was preserved and renamed Victory Day.

4. National Day: On June 12, the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation adopted and issued the Declaration of Sovereignty, announcing Russia's independence from the Soviet Union. This day was designated as the National Day by Russia.

5. Three festivals: the 50th day after Easter, the most important summer festival for Russians, is the most popular among young people. Before the festival, the rooms inside and outside the house, inside and outside the courtyard, and on the street were all cleaned up. There are birch trees in front of each house, and the interior is decorated with birch branches. Girls flocked to the forest to collect all kinds of herbs.
