Malanka is the most spectacular holiday in Ukraine: traditions, rituals and rites

Not every nation can boast that its sculture has a thousand year history dating back to the pre-christian times ukrainians can Ivan capalo Milano ver these Traditions form a unique cultural code that among other things defines us as a nation our ancestors often managed to preserve these ancient

Customs to this day at the cost of Their Own lives despite the fact that they were being erased today we will activate the genetic code and see how people still observe ancient rituals even in times of [Applause] War they roll inside out with dietro karov Ukraine at the beginning of 2023

Three I went on a large scale expedition to explore the miraculously kept traditions of winter celebrations but our ancestors we’re now in a CH SE region and this is Vos who wasn’t been here before there was the mavian Republic then Austria Hungary then Romania then the Soviet Union then

Romania again for a short time then the Soviet Union again and finally independent Ukraine due to the constant changes a real cocktail of traditions has been formed here and it’s so diverse that it’s hard to imagine but today you will see something that we can safely

Say the carnival in real janira is no match today is January 13th 2023 looking around there are very few people usually on this day there are already thousands of tourists who have come to one of the largest ethnic festivals in Europe but this year the war changed everything

Many people say that today during the war and his celebrations are out place I wonder what will happen in Wy this year if anything at all milanka is the main event of the Year here but it will be celebrated for the first time during a fullscale Invasion will the lack of

Tourists hinder the celebration we’ll find out right now we’re going to talk to a man who has never missed a single milanka in his entire Life hello hello I’m dmitro Vel nice to meet you please come In why do you have all this stuff laid out are the coach so nicely what are you planning now we’re preparing colard the guys are coming so we have to get dressed so you’re meeting guests yes I’ve been dressing up since I was 6

Years old and I have such a love of this milanka are dressing up is a part of the milanka celebration in it has been especially loved since the 19th century when the owner of the village introduced a competition for the best costume why did Mr tant establish

It because life was very hard and he said in order to cheer people up a little bit he even gave a barrel of beer to those people and held a competition for whoever would show the best performance and dress up and that’s where the peria comes from

Wish kipy has six corners as the locals call the town’s districts because they are small like nuks and crannies and un milanka the corners compete in peing just like in the old days although they no longer receive beer and honey for it I’ve never missed a single perar in my

Entire life we had such a conflict when we got married my wife said no it’s not going to happen you will not go to per Baria I said yes I will go to per Baria I have been dressing up I’m dressing up and I will continue to dress up finally

She said that we would get a divorce I said well I’m not going to give up on that when we got married it was our first malanka and we were supposed to have guests my family was there I asked him to come later he said

No I had to go I had to dress up we had a scandal I was left alone with my relatives and he got up and left so if it’s your wife on peria choose either way paria but today someone says there’s a war going on you shouldn’t do mean it’s

Not the right time but here what do you think it’s time or not I think that it is it’s a tradition how can you leave it behind I also have friends on the front line and they say why not go why not take a break and why not I’m fighting

For you to be back here the tradition of Celebration milanka is so old that the minion and symbols of the holiday have changed many times in Pagan times the key character of Pera was a beautiful young woman named milanka who replaced an old woman on New Year’s Eve with the Advent of

Christianity they began to celebrate the Day of St Millennia who was a none in her lifetime and helped the nitty however despite the strict religious meaning people kept the tradition of festivities and dressing up nowaday there are even more characters in peria tell us about the characters who

Are they the main characters are old man and old woman and which one is which this is old man this is a seed a cloak a mask this is The Old Woman costume mask and head scarf the old woman is a little scary it’s one is not so scary but this

One is even scarier this woman is really scary if you meet a woman like that you won’t fall asleep like this this is a cool [Laughter] woman this is a gypsy costume and this is a gypsy woman so we learn there is an old man an

Old woman a gypsy and gypsy woman who else the groom and the bride this was a Corona virus when it was around so you see current evance yes this is a gentleman maybe a doctor a doctor yeah Dr COV Sam of The Masks are 100 years old and have been passed down from

Generation to generation these days traditional characters are being morganized thear for example is replaced by a kak and a devil by a Soviet polman new images appear every year from politicians to favorite movie characters by the way as far as I know the peculiarity of milanka is that only

Man can dress up that is cost him up yes it used to be that it was only men boys and now we have such modern women that they also dress up and you don’t recognize them anymore is this handmade yes I can see the fabric here PV glue fabric and Bish

And it’s painted Mr Vil and his wife not only dress up for milanka but also make these amazing masks themselves basically it starts with a game they take clay and knit it like dope and Dan a mold is made something like this in order not to drag

These around I altered them and made these this is how I enlightened my masks and molds theale is self to he started making masks when he was a child but then he couldn’t pay them 15 years ago the men took up masks making again and entrusted the colorin to his wife since

Then the family business has taken off we worked nights and days 250 to 300 perison our masks are sold abroad they even B them in Rio DEA in Canada now we are going to make a mask we cut the plaster into pieces yes it’s a common medical plaster that hospitals use for

Injuries we put on a bag because the plaster will we dip a piece of plaster bondage in it and apply three layers of plaster we get a mask like this and then we put it to dry when the plaster hardens the musk is covered with a cloth the eyes mouth and

Nose are cut out with a sharp knife and then Mrs Lee lady Vil’s wife takes over I always start with the lips when my husband started making masks he didn’t know how to draw I don’t know how to draw either but I had to he said just

Keep drawing so I tried and it worked the scarier it is the faster it sells I used to paint with enams it was very difficult to paint with enamels because enamal paint has specific smells we were being poisoned by it and then tourists came to us and they suggested choosing this acrylic Paint now this mask has to dry and it needs to be varnished this mask is ready it’s already dried you can see the difference the pain comes to life under the varnish this year because of theor there are no tourists so the couple hasn’t s a single mask how much does one

Mask cost 400 Gus 400 I’ll take them all not a question I’m going to open a museum later and get rich on it it’s just a to come and be sure to buy these mask this is the kind of advertising in the roll inside out three guys have

Old please tell me this year is a special Milano there are no tourists no Festival but there are Traditions that are hundreds of years old your opinion as an honorary melan participant who has been celebrating since the 70s now first and foremost we have to take care like

Our entire State we have to take care of Victory but despite this I had a phone conversation with one of my friends who’s fighting in Solider today and he asked me to do something vital I sincerely ask you to film this dressing up Caroline and S because it will raise

Our moral it we all be very nice because we are far from our homes today we are supporting our Defenders by doing this especially since they’re looking forward to it even the man who still has a job to do today dressed up from Milano we’re going to work I work as an assistant

Driver so you work for UK right I have to be at work at 900 p.m. so in 2 hours you have to be at work and you’re already in your way somewhere you don’t know when here right when we get here what are the options they can send us to

VI they can send us to mova mova Romania this is an indicator of how much people love and respect milanka the man is probably going to mova probably Tov in two hours but he’s wearing a mask here under Soviet rule milanka in bashk was threatened and banned but despite the

Fact that for 70 years the parans were person persecuted arrested and fired from their jobs their residents of V still secretly continue to Dr up for Milan and and great risk they kept this tradition alive the Soviet police they were cracking down in it because they didn’t want any folk Traditions they

Wanted everything to be communist today it has changed so much that it has integrated into the way it’s in Europe it probably already looks like a Carnival in our country how is this year different from all the others today milanka is returning to its original state which it was during the first and

Second world wars there were no such festivities because it was turning into a carnival Traditions should not die and if these Traditions disappear due to political or military events we all disappear as a nation we will lose our past and if we forget our past there will be no

Future there a golden words and this is nothing to add people confirm that a tradition of milanka was preserved here even here in the first and second world wars I’m sure that there are few places in the world where you cannot just watch but you can come up and participate it’s

Such a contact type of observing holidays carnivals look at what’s happening right now he a Boran car right in front of us and this is Not For Tourists they are not tourists today these guys are just having fun it’s just a real tradition these guys are having

Malanka is the most spectacular holiday in Ukraine. In this episode of the World Inside Out, Dmytro Komarov will explore the unique cultural code of our nation and show how Ukrainians preserve traditions even in times of war.

Malanka is one of those ancient holidays that has survived since pre-Christian times. It is celebrated in different parts of Ukraine, but it is in the village of Vashkivtsi, Chernivtsi region, that it has become one of the largest ethnic festivals in Eastern Europe.

How do Ukrainians preserve millennial traditions during the war? Who is Malanka? What do these characters mean at the celebration? What sacred meanings did our ancestors put into the theatrical performance? Why did people jump into the water in costume in the middle of winter? Dmytro Komarov will tell you in his report.
