This is how we spend holidays week with my family in Russia | Tatar festivities

Each region of Russia has its own traditions and culture, so let’s see what activities there are in Ufa city, in the region of Bashkortostan, during Christmas and New Year time.

We will also visit Bashkir-Tatar holiday Sabantuy which dates back to pagan times and originally it was a ritual that asked the gods for a plentiful harvest. Today, however, the festival became a celebration of Tatar and Bashkir culture and traditions. Furthermore, we will go to Walrus competitons... what is it? Just watch till the end of the video ;)
