Yesterday in the Krasnoyarsk region Samara region In the vicinity of the village of Stary Buyan, the ethno-historical festival "Rus. The Age of Unification" was held, dedicated to the battle of Timur and Tokhtamysh in 1391. The rich and varied program included: folk entertainment (horse riding, archery and crossbow shooting); crafts fair; museum town (history, quests and discussion platform); concert and theatrical performances. Play areas were organized for children. The festival's many guests had plenty to see and do. I was particularly interested in the city of craftsmen with pottery and blacksmith workshops, wicker weaving, knitting, felting and, of course, doll making - here I took a good look at the small ethnic dolls in national costumes. Maybe someday I’ll sew something like this for my own people!
Festival site and reconstruction historical event- the head of the Samara region, Dmitry Azarov, came to watch the battle between Timur and Tokhtamysh. The Battle of Kondurch is the largest battle that took place on June 18, 1391 between the troops of the ruler Central Asia Emir Timur (Tamerlane) and Khan of the Golden Horde Tokhtamysh on the banks of the Kondurcha River. It was this battle that decided the fate of Rus', freeing it from vassalage. The Golden Horde was dealt a blow from which it could no longer recover. Dmitry Azarov noted that the festival is interesting not only to residents of the region, but also to neighboring regions: “I am sure that this can become one of the centers of event tourism in the Samara region. And everything that is interesting to people, that can create additional conditions for economic development , is in the area of attention of regional authorities."
