This is an update of my post published on January 25, 2011:
This is the feast day of Saint Tatiana, the patron saint of students, and the day is used to mark the end of winter term. Students in Russia gleefully drop their books and skate, go to pop concerts, join in competitions, and party.
On this day in 1755, Russia's Empress Elizabeth signed a decree that opened the Moscow State University—another thing for students to celebrate. Moscow's students typically gather in Red Square to receive official congratulations from the mayor and to drink from the mayor's barrel of a honey drink called medovukha.
Celebrate Russian culture!
Listen to some Russian kids' songs.
Try some Russian recipes.
