They call me a clown. Well, thank you.

Skomrakhi, glumtsy, guselniki, igretsy, dancers....
Since pagan times, cheerful people in brightly colored outfits have roamed Russian villages and towns. Skomorokhi made ordinary people and noble people laugh, enjoyed their love, and suddenly disappeared, leaving behind only proverbs and sayings.

Skomorokhi not just amused people - often their jokes and quips revealed the big and small problems of their time, were shattering satire. Equally talented comedians mocked the weaknesses of the common people, the powers that be, the clergy. Merry and apt words of wandering jesters were memorized and quickly spread around the neighborhood.

And this is common to all Slavs. We should always have a jester.
Because it has to be all three: the acolyte, the warrior, and the jester.
