Paris Is Burning

NIKOLA-LENIVETS, RUSSIA

MLADEN ANTONOV/AFP/GETTY

A fortress built of wooden pallets is set ablaze during a celebration for Maslenitsa on March 9. The Eastern Slavic folk holiday—a farewell to winter—takes place the week before the start of Russian Orthodox Lent and involves the burning of a large effigy (this one representing the Bastille, a symbol of the French Revolution). The abandoned village of Nikola-Lenivets, about 140 miles southwest of Moscow, is now an art park.
