The project is a non-traditional trip into traditional Russia with its ancient songs, pagan rituals and numerous stories about house and nature spirits, warlocks and witches. The project will take place in rural Russia and participants will all have the opportunity to be acquainted with the hospitality of Russian villagers, their customs and traditional way of life.
