A literary holiday held in and around Ufa, Bashkortostan, honoring writer Sergei Aksakov (1791-1859), author of Family Chronicle and The Scarlet Flower, who was born in the city and whose family estate lay in what is now the village of Aksakovo.
Aksakov is one of Bashkortostan's most claimed literary figures, and the holiday bearing his name links Ufa, his birthplace, with Aksakovo, the former family estate now preserved as a memorial museum reserve
His best-known works, the autobiographical Family Chronicle and the fairy tale The Scarlet Flower (a source for Russia's version of Beauty and the Beast), remain part of the Russian school curriculum, giving the event a built-in multigenerational audience beyond specialist literary circles
Public readings from Family Chronicle and The Scarlet Flower
and estate tours connecting Aksakov's writing to the Bashkir countryside where he grew up
