REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA / Calarasi / Hirjauca / January 2016 / Malanca in Palanca / The Soldier is also a mask in the Malanca of the neighbouring village, Mindra. Both groups visited the city hall and sang for the mayor in the town hall situated in Hirjauca. They have some similar masks but most of them differ very much from each other: ancestors from the villages had their origins in different regions of Ukraine, thus the variations in the customs.
