A costumed procession "Wedding" took place at the RUSSIA EXPO
A costumed procession "Wedding" was held at the International RUSSIA EXPO. Its participants were a young couple and witnesses demonstrating to the guests a traditional wedding celebration with songs and dances. The event was organized with the support of the "Istok" project, dedicated to the development and popularization of Russian folk culture among young people.
Starting from the Main Arch of VDNH, the participants of the procession sang wedding Russian folk songs from different regions of Russia: velichalnye (praising), dancing, korilnye (teasing). There were also traditional instrumental tunes, without which no wedding in the Russian village could do.
