On the night of June 27–28, one of Russia's largest and most spectacular celebrations, Scarlet Sails, took place in Saint Petersburg, the country's cultural and educational capital. This unique annual event, dedicated exclusively to school graduates, is held during the brightest night of June. This year, it brought together 65,000 participants along the banks of the Neva River.
Scarlet Sails is the largest pyrotechnic show in the country and one of the most impressive water performances in the world. The highlight of the evening is the ceremonial appearance of the Rossiya brig under scarlet sails, which has become a symbol of hope and the beginning of a new adult life.
This year, the water and pyrotechnic show was dedicated to Russian folk tales, and the grand finale featured the appearance of the Firebird, a mythical symbol of good luck and happiness. The concert program of the celebration was dedicated to the dreams that accompany a person throughout their life.
The celebration has been held since 1968 and has long gone beyond the borders of Russia; today it is watched by millions of viewers around the world every year. This inspiring event reminds us that to dream means to act, and that a high-quality education is a reliable path to achieving one's goals.
Today, graduates stand on the threshold of a new life: ahead of them are entrance examinations, choosing a university, and making their first adult decisions. One of the most important steps that can be taken right now is to choose the country and the university that will open the way to a real career.
