Every
year, Tsaritsino welcomes the festival of Russian culture « Ruskoye Pole »,
which promotes Russian traditions. The event is dedicated to the memory of the
Saint and Prince Vladimir, who christened Rus.
Over 250 craftsmen come from everywhere in Russia to show the different regions’ traditional handicrafts, among which Gzhel frescos (Gzhel is a Russian type of ceramics), handmade weapons from Tula, Vologda laces, Petrovski and Romanovski toys and Northern bead weaving. Each region is attributed a tent where you can not only observe and purchase handicraft, but also learn how to make them in free masterclasses.
In addition to this, a competition is organized between dozens of folklore groups performing their region’s traditional songs and dances. Russians love to sing, and they will make you love it too!
The tradition of so called ordinary churches (i.e. with modest architecture and little decoration) comes from Prince Vladimir. This is why every year, in remembrance of this, a wooden church is built on the day of the festival by volunteers from various orthodox communities.
The festival is also a great occasion to try traditional Russian dishes, including okroshka (a cold kvass soup with vegetables and cooked meat), blini, pies as well as traditional drinks such as mors (fruit infusions), mead, sbiten (tea with honey and spices) and kvass (rye beer). Among the many food and drink stands, one sells various types of tea brewed in a samovar. Not only can you try traditional Russian tea, but you also can learn about the history of the Russian samovar.
