Why Russians Picnic at Cemeteries (It’s not what you think) 🪦🌯

In this video, I show what Parents' Day (Radonitsa) looks like — the main memorial day of the year. You'll see the real picture: no clichés, no horror aesthetics. 💙 We’ll talk about what outsiders rarely notice: · What graves and fences look like on Parents' Day — cleaning, painted monuments, food and shot glasses left on graves. · Why the memorial meal at the cemetery is still very much alive — from Easter bread (kulich) to candies. · Russian burial traditions · What people actually do at the graves — prayers, quiet conversations, remembering in silence or with a gentle smile. This is not a morbid or sensational video. It's a documentary look at how Russian memory culture connects death, food, and family warmth. ❤️How to SUPPORT the channel?
