Do you guys eat blinis all the time or just on some special holidays?
Yes, we eat blinis(Russian pancakes) time from time all year round. But this particular week is when all Russians eat pancakes every day. This week is called Maslenitsa or Butter Week (from “maslo” – butter).
See the beautiful paintings of Maslenitsa by Boris Kustodiev, Simon Kozhin and Leonid Solomatkin:
