"C 8 марта"
(Happy Women's Day/Mother's Day/Valentine's Day)
"Originally introduced by the Communists, the holiday has lost its political content and has become a cultural tradition. On this extremely popular holiday, men are expected to do everything around the house and give their women the possibility to have at least the only day off from all the cleaning and cooking. Men present chocolate, flowers, and small gifts to their wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, female friends, and colleagues."
