Слайд 4

There are lots of New Year traditions in Russia. In every

home there is a New Year tree glittering with coloured lights and decorations. Children always wait for Father Frost to come and give them a present. Many people consider New Year's Day to be a family holiday. But the young prefer to have New Year parties of their own.

Christmas
A renewed holiday in our country is Christmas. It is celebrated

on the 7th of January. It's a religious holiday and a lot of people go to church services on that day.

"Men's Day"
Non-official "Men's Day" is the 23d of February, it is

a public holiday
called "The Homeland Defenders Day". All men in Russia are liable
for call-up (including reservists), so
they all are celebrities. On this day women
usually give men small gifts.

Women's Day
On the 8th of March we celebrate Women's Day

when
men are supposed to
do everything about the
house and cook all the
meals. This is pretty
nice — at least once
a year women can take
a break and forget
about all those dishes,
cooking, kids, take
a magazine and relax
on a coach.

The Day of Labour
The 1st of May is the Day of

Labour. During Soviet time there were huge demonstrations on this day, as everybody was obliged to show his loyalty to the state; now only communists organize meetings on this date.

On the 9th of May, 1945, the Soviet Army and its allies completely defeated the German fascists and the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War ended. A magnificent memorial on Poklonnaya Gora has been built to commemorate the Victory. Many veterans take part in the military parade and lay wreaths on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Слайд 14

Ты прощай, прощай наша Масленица,
Ты прощай, наша хорошая.
Ты пришла

с добром,
С сыром, маслом, калачом,
Со блинами, пирогами,
Да оладьями,
Блины масляные,
Шаньки мазаные.
А сегодня – в воскресенье.
Наше кончилось веселье.
Ты прощай, прощай,
Наша Масленица!
Укатила Масленица,
Добрая красавица,
До будущего года,
До сырной недели.
