🥳Today, June 23rd, is:
🇷🇺Международный День Балалайки
International Balalaika Day
🔻The balalaika is a three-stringed plucked musical instrument that is a symbol of Russian culture. It has a rich history and was often used at folk festivals and celebrations.
🔻The first mention of the balalaika dates back to June 23, 1688, when a relevant entry was made in the document Память из Стрелецкого приказа в малороссийский приказ (Memory from the Streltsy Order to the Little Russian Order), according to the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music.
🔻The word балалайка [ba-la-lay-ka] is believed to derive from the words балабонить and балагурить, meaning to chat idly or to engage in idle talk.
🔻The video by
™️sergeyvorontsovbalalaika features Яблочко - a playful song popular among revolutionary soldiers during the Russian Civil War, and the sailor's dance performed to its melody.
❓️How do you like this Russian folk musical instrument?

Happy May 1st, Russian learners! ☀️
In Russia, we say:
• Мир! Труд! Май!
Peace! Labour! May!
But for you, let's change it a little:
• Май! Учёба! Русский!
May! Studying! Russian!
No work today. Just spring, rest, and one small verb conjugation. Maybe two. No pressure.
С праздником! ✨
Natalie with 🤍💙❤️
