Watch: Russians burn enormous haystack in traditional Spring celebration

Watch: Russians burn enormous haystack in traditional Spring celebration As part of Maslenitsa, the pancake-filled traditional start of Spring celebration in Russia, organizers at a nature park in the central Kaluga oblast lit on fire an absolutely giant haystack. Although, usually the Maslenitsa hay burning is just a little bit more modest in scope, folks at the Nicola-Lenivets park opted for a 22-meter or a 72-feet high stack this year, likely in order to summon a truly scorching spring.
