'Coronavirus Castle' Burns in Russia as Part of Annual Folk Festival
Russians gathered to watch a wooden ‘coronavirus castle’ burn to the ground as part of the annual folk festival, Maslenitsa, on March 13.
The organisers of the event, which took place in the Nikola-Lenivets art park in Kaluga, Russia, said in an interview that the castle was meant to symbolise the modern-day “plague” of coronavirus.
