Tank Shoots Scarecrow for Wild Holiday Celebration
At first glance, this almost appears to be a RussianBurning Man event, but it’s actually something much different. Turns out, this was a celebration for a Maslenitsa holiday.

It worked perfectly and gave the crowd a good show, so check it out in the clip below. I, like many reading this, do not live in Russia, so I had to do a little research...
