В России мы, конечно, не отмечаем американский День Благодарения. У каждой нации есть свой праздник благодарности и урожая. Для русских это так называемый Яблочный Спас.  Этот христианский праздник верующие начали отмечать в IV (четвертом) веке. Примерно с VII века православные верующие стали отмечать его 19 августа.

А у католиков эта дата вошла в календарь только в XV (пятнадцатом) веке. Они празднуют её 6 (шестого) августа.

В этот день люди идут в церковь и освящают яблоки и виноград. Кроме того, принято печь пироги и угощать ими родных и друзей.

С праздником связаны некоторые приметы. Например, на Яблочный спас внимательно смотрели на погоду. Считалось, что если этот день холодный, то и январь будет суровым.

Translation:

In Russia, of course, we do not celebrate American Thanksgiving. Every nation has its own holiday of gratitude and harvest. For Russians, it is the so-called Apple Savior. Believers began to celebrate this Christian holiday in the IV (fourth) century. From about the 7th century, Orthodox believers began to celebrate it on August 19.

And among Catholics, this date entered the calendar only in the XV (fifteenth) century. They celebrate it on August 6th.

On this day, people go to church and consecrate apples and grapes. Also, it is customary to bake pies and treat them to family and friends.

Some superstitions are associated with the holiday. For example, at Yablochny Spas, people carefully looked at the weather. It was believed that if this day is cold, then January will be severely cold.

Daria Molchanova’s Slow Russian offers a patient, accessible path to understanding spoken Russian. As an experienced teacher, Daria structures each episode around clear, deliberately paced conversation, removing the common hurdle of native speed that can overwhelm learners. The core of this podcast is its namesake pace: spoken Russian delivered slowly enough to follow, yet naturally enough to feel authentic. Each segment typically includes a vocabulary breakdown, where key words and phrases are explained in context, turning listening practice into a direct lesson. Beyond grammar and pronunciation, Daria weaves in observations on Russian culture, traditions, and the nuances of daily life, providing the contextual glue that makes language stick. It’s designed for those who want to move beyond textbooks and engage with the rhythm and substance of the language in a manageable way. The result is a learning tool that feels less like a lecture and more like a guided tour of the Russian language, building comprehension and confidence with each slow-spoken episode. You can find more resources and episodes on the podcast’s main website.
