Description: “And today is Forgiveness Sunday! Happy holiday to you! Forgive me. Forgive each of us! But this murlo will not find forgiveness forever. Even in hell they will hate him.”

Context:

• Yurij Zhuravel – leader of Ukrainian music band “Ot Vinta”
• Maslenitsa – is an Eastern Slavic religious and folk holiday, which has retained a number of elements of Slavic mythology in its ritual, celebrated during the last week before Great Lent
• Forgiveness Sunday – the last day of Cheesefare Week. Relatives and friends ask each other for forgiveness and might offer them small presents. As the culmination of the celebration people gather to “strip Lady Maslenitsa of her finery” and burn her in a bonfire.
