Materials of the round table on March 25th, 2008

The Balkan terms in the title of this book mean the ritual reality - twisted red and white threads - which Balkan Slavs traditionally exchange on March 1st, the beginning of the Spring cycle, with wishes for health and good harvests. The contributors to this round table, scholars from the Institute of Slavic studies, analyze the complexity and ambivalence of March as a calendar month and as a mythological character, as well as plots and motifs related to it.
