To be born Russian, to remain Russian
And save this happiness,
When and wherever to wander–
Such as grandfathers ,to lay down in earth.
Nikolai Yevseyev
I am really fascinated with the New Year celebration festivities in Russia. They are quite different from European countries and even in Russy they vary from region to region. I published a post (in portuguese...) about Chyskhaan, the Lord of the Frost, here:
but anyhow I would like to know more about this character. I found Yakutia one of the most wonderful regions in your country, as far as I can get it from the net. As you are posting about the new year season, would you mind to elaborate on Chyskhaan's legend?
