the site decided to tell you more about one of the brightest holidays of the year - "Scarlet Sails".
On the night of June 23-24, St. Petersburg will host one of the most long-awaited and brightest holidays of the year - "Scarlet Sails". More than 80,000 people will gather on Palace Square, including about 6,000 foreigners. For the main characters of the evening - graduates - young creative teams, as well as famous stars of Russian show business, will perform.
"Scarlet Sails - 2018": the history of the holiday
In the famine-stricken 1920s, the Russian prose writer and poet Alexander Grin, who was living in St. Petersburg at the time, wrote his famous story Scarlet Sails. In 1961, a film of the same name was shot based on the work, and on June 27, 1968, for the first time, sailed along the Neva legendary ship under scarlet sails. From that day on, the celebration became an annual event and continued until 1979, until the head of the Leningrad regional committee of the CPSU, Grigory Romanov, canceled it. The politician was afraid of a large crowd of young people on the streets and possible consequences such festivities. The tradition was revived in 2005, and since then, concerts and multimedia performances on the Neva have been held on Palace Square every year.
The symbol of "Scarlet Sails - 2018" is the Swedish brig "Three Crowns"
This year the Swedish brig Tre Kronor ("Three Crowns") becomes the symbol of "Scarlet Sails" for the eighth time. It is a copy of the historic ship Gladan of 1857, which took part in the expeditions of the geologist Adolf Nordenskiöld.
Now it's hard to believe, but until 2010 the Tre Kronor team, led by captain Allan Palmer, refused to take part in the alumni celebration. They considered "Scarlet Sails" another whim of "strange Russians" and did not know about Grin and his story. But out of respect for the inviting side, the Swedes still had to read the work. Oddly enough, but the harsh foreigners were imbued with the romantic atmosphere of the plot and agreed to make their ship a symbol of an unusual graduation.
Today, the captain of the brig, Allan Palmer, recalls that the idea with scarlet sails initially seemed to him extravagant. What the hell, he thought. Now Palmer admits that he has not seen anything more fantastic. He regularly watches videos from the holiday and admires the bright and colorful shows.
