Hi! My name is Bolot. I am a journalist. Based in Yakutsk. Ask me a question about the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Siberia / Russia, and get the answer.
I have receieved a request from the Netherlands, but, unfortunately, the author mentioned incorrect email address, so I post an answer here on the blog.
His question was:
What are the exact dates of the Ysyakh festival in 2012 and 2013?
The answer:
In the city of Yaktusk, Ysyakh takes place annually during the last weekend of June. So, this year it must be on June 30th and July 1st.

This summer Yakutsk’s Ysyakh (Ысыах), Yakut national holidays, will be held on June 27-28, 2009. Location is Ys Khatyn (Yс Хатынг), 20 minutes by car northward from Yakutsk, near the settlement of Zhatai (Жатай). The opening ceremony will take place on the first day, Saturday, at 12.00.
Note: Yakutsk Ysyakh takes place traditionally on the last weekend of June.
