CARNIVALS,
CIRCUS,
RUSSIA,
UKRAINE, JUDAICA:
In old
Ukrainia,
Russia, Belorussia
or Poland
it was a big day when the carnival came to town. The tents and attractions were
usually set up in a part of the largest Market Place which usually was located
in proximity of a Church. The townsfolk all came by to see the wonders. Some
came with the intent of partaking of every single ride and amusement while
others came out of mere curiosity, to only get a brief glimpse of the colourful
festivities. Talk about ethnic and cultural diversity! Everyone came together at
the sideshows and the markets. Peasants and gentry alike. In any given Ukrainian
town, the ethnic mix would include local Ukrainian, Hassidic Jewish, (sometimes
Polish and Russian residents, Czarist Police officers and Cossack Hetmans. Its
funny how in today’s politics they enjoy throwing around the word “diverse”as if it is something recently discovered. That may be propaganda, but it is not
reality.
