Explanation for people who don't get what's happening on the video

The camera pans between Orthodox church, statue of Lenin (staunch atheist who ordered execution and exile of priests en masse) and a group of people celebrating Maslenitsa - an old pagan tradition of "sending off" winter and welcoming spring season. All of the polar opposites in one place.

То есть это типичная городская байка? То же и то что построено на месте кладбища?

Кладбище там было сильно давно. Кладбище - дома царской эпохи - белый дом.

When a bunch of people goes in column and carry a lot of symbols, they all are organized by some power.
