Holidays
Awareness of the outside world. In better times. What’s On: Malanka – The Ukrainian Mardi Gras, Reaney, 2018. Seems to be more New Year’s Eve than Lent, but if whatson-kyiv.com wants to call it MG, who am I to quibble. Peace be unto them. BTW, Eastern Orthodox Lent starts next Monday, because Julian calendar.
