Article (110–120 слов): Maslenitsa, Russia’s pancake week, fills my town with color, warmth, and laughter just before Lent. Streets buzz with stalls selling butter-slick blini, honey, and sour cream, while the scent of fried dough drifts through frosty air. We dress in bright scarves and old costumes, racing across snow-covered yards to win silly prizes. In the square, a burning effigy of winter signals the coming of spring as dancers whirl to lively folk tunes. Friends and neighbors share plates of blini, capping each bite with jam or caviar, and swap stories from days of festivals past. The day ends with songs under a rosy sunset, a hopeful goodbye to cold and a cheerful hello to spring.
