February 25-26, 2017 at the Center of Russian Culture "Kremlin in Izmailovo" "Royal Maslenitsa" ended, in which the Röndell brand took a direct part.
The holiday lasted a whole week with the support of the Department of National Policy and Interregional Relations of the city of Moscow.
On February 25 and 26, the Sovereign Courtyard of the Izmailovsky Kremlin from a bird's eye view could not be distinguished from the noisy square of the ancient Russian city filled on a holiday. Muscovites in the morning reached out to the Izmailovsky Kremlin in order to arrange royal farewells for winter and cheerfully celebrate the beginning of spring in this one of the most atmospheric places in the capital. In total, over 15,000 people took part in the event over two days.
On the main stage, the guests were entertained: the hosts of the holiday, Tsarevich Alexander and Princess Anna, who held fun contests, and the winners were presented with pancake pans from Röndell. An old acquaintance of the Moscow public, the brown bear Stepan performed his best numbers and danced a gypsy girl, which delighted adults and young guests of the Tsar's Maslenitsa.
The good mood throughout the holiday was supported by animators in Russian costumes, who offered guests to saw a log or pull a rope, to walk on miracle skis and climb a high Maslenitsa pole for a gift. There were many who wished, and the crowd became animated every now and then, cheering the daredevils with friendly shouts and applause. From the stage, every hour, the presenters raffled off valuable prizes from numerous partners of the Tsar's Maslenitsa.
On February 25, the main event was the traditional Maslenitsa fistfights and “wall to wall” from the masters of wall fighting, in which the most fearless guests took part. The girls were also able to fly in the arms of the fighters standing in two rows. According to the guest Svetlana, who dared to do this, such a flight took her breath away, it was a little scary and a lot of fun, but, most importantly, the girl was sure that she would definitely be caught.
In the workshops of the Izmaylovo Kremlin, hard-working artisans taught those who wished ancient crafts: felting felt boots, pottery and creating dolls from bast. Right on the street, guests forged nails and horseshoes together with Izmaylovo blacksmiths for good luck, and when they got hungry, they went to the wide rows of gluttons to taste hearty pancakes and pies with various fillings, drink mead and sbitnya.
At 19.00, the traditional burning of the Maslenitsa effigy took place, together with which all the ailments and hardships of the outgoing winter were burned in the fire.
Together with the Muscovites, Ivan Evgenyevich Petrov, Deputy Head of the Department of National Policy and Interregional Relations of Moscow, celebrated the Tsar's Maslenitsa and congratulated them on the onset of spring.
The Royal Maslenitsa speaks for itself with its name: it is a holiday that takes place with Russian scope and magnificence. During the Maslenitsa week, everyone can join the festive festivities, recharge with a special mood by taking part in a wide variety of contests and games.

Hello everyone, friends. The closer winter is, the more often the adventures of the past winter are remembered, and the joys of the future winter are tasted. And today I want to tell and show a little how the Izmailovsky Kremlin welcomes guests.
We went to Izmailovo to celebrate Maslenitsa 2017. And I want to say - the festivities were organized at the proper level, and despite the frost, there were a huge number of people, children's cries and enthusiastic screams rang in their ears :) and even such a gloomy type like me smiled at something with enviable regularity.
The Kremlin was decorated in the style of the 17th-18th century, and, accordingly, all the hosts of the entertainment program, and other personnel, were dressed in rather elegant national clothes.
Competitions and entertainment for the guests were quite funny and went on just continuously. Most of all, I liked it when the presenters threw huge balls with bright, multi-colored woolen threads into the crowd and invited the guests to throw these balls around, thus weaving a network.
It was very funny, especially when at the end everyone tried to get out of it :)
There were also raffles of symbolic gifts. And you won’t believe it, my beautiful wife even grabbed a book
happiness knew no bounds :) and mine too, because thank God this book fit into her bag and I didn’t have to carry it in my hands for the rest of the day :)
Also, for the kids, all sorts of shows of crafts that are already poorly understood for the most part in our time were arranged. Such as blacksmithing. The blacksmiths were heating something on the coals, pounding with huge hammers, hissing with pieces of iron in barrels ... A trifle was happy :))
Kremlin in Izmailovo is a unique center of culture and entertainment, created on the basis of the famous Vernissage in Izmailovo. With us, everyone will find something to their liking - holidays, excursions, master classes in Russian crafts, meals in restaurants and cafes.
It was very interesting to climb all over the territory, in general, the Kremlin was not only externally, but also internally equipped as it was customary then, so the process of warming up inside the premises was also extremely educational!
The only thing we missed, because some people wanted to eat, was the burning of an effigy. Although we also received a lot of emotions from visiting the cafe! Solemnly ordering a samovar of tea and assorted Kolomna marshmallows. A very atmospheric snack.
They burned an effigy, if I'm not mistaken, every two or three hours. We decided not to wait for this moment, as we still froze.
Inside one of the towers, a chamber of commerce was organized, there weren’t any useless knick-knacks, mostly designed for children, or something antique, Khokhloma, etc. ... People crowded there in huge numbers, probably more to warm up, and not buy something.
We spent about three hours there, climbed everywhere, everyone looked, completely froze, especially some young and beautiful ones who went without a hat :)
The general impressions of this walk were very, very positive, the mass nature of the fun infects, somehow you merge with the general mood. If you pass by, be sure to stop by - you'll love it!
For the little ones- exciting games, for those who are older - our museums, for young people - wedding celebrations, for businessmen - a business center!
In general, the Kremlin's program is quite rich and varied.
