In Russia Maslenitsa festivities demonstrations were organized in the XVIII century, and even the Russian tsars were treated to a holiday with increased attention. Own contribution to the Maslenitsa made Catherine II, who, by virtue of origin (it was from one of the German principalities), did not know the roots of Russian folk tradition and has entered into use fancy carnivals with elements of kitsch and theatrical parody. Interestingly, it was then that festival became a symbol of pancakes, personifying the sun.
