REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA / Calarasi / Palanca / January 2016 / Malanca in Palanca / The fight is the closing event of the whole celebration of the Malanca as custom in Palanca. The fight takes place between the 'GuИ›ul Horse' and the bad spirits, as he defends the place. Not every Malanca is closing with a fight: the neighbouring village of Mindra, for example, where the tradition is handed down by ukrainian ancestors coming from the region of Donetsk, do not fight in the end.
