Vladivostok by Braille Ask the water, ask the salt

Russia is a peculiar nation which manages to cheerfully combine and enjoy the traditions of its unmixable layers of history. As atheism was the way of the land after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, people keep traditions of the Soviet times and meet the New Year with a bottle of champagne. A week later, on January 7, they cheer the religious holiday of Orthodox Christmas but spend the following two weeks participating in carnivals, games and fortune-telling, the latter strictly forbidden by church.
