Описание: A record-breaking 39,000 visitors descended upon the Altai region this week for the international Siberian Maslenitsa festival, marking the largest event tourism milestone in the territory’s history. Despite temperatures plunging to -15°C, the mass celebration featured traditional Slavic rituals, including the ceremonial burning of giant straw effigies, high-stakes horse racing, and the iconic "ice pole" climbing contest. Festival Director Alexei Kopeykin confirmed the 2026 turnout surpassed all previous years, as international tourists and locals gathered to witness performers dressed as legendary Bogatyrs and participate in ancient folk traditions signaling the transition from Siberian winter to spring.
