In this vlog, I went to a remote village in the Udmurt Republic, Russia, where people were celebrating Kupala Night – one of the most magical Slavic folk holidays. This enchanting event, marking the summer solstice, is filled with the beautiful sounds of ancient musical instruments and dancing. This was a truly magical experience, hope you'll enjoy! ✨
