February is a traditional month for the largest German carnivals, during which people of different nationalities and activities walk along the central streets of cities, delighting thousands of spectators.
A tractor, which was accompanied by dozens of dancers in suits of archers of Peter the Great's time, pulled a copy of St. Basil’s Cathedral through the streets. The copy moved to the accompaniment of the popular Russian songs Katyusha and Kalinka-Malinka in German, as well as Moskau by the famous German band Dschinghis Khan.
