Assol of the 21st Century - Ассоль 21 века

            Assol is the heroine of Alexander Green's fairy tale "Scarlet Sails". Once, when Assol was eight years old, her father sent her to the city with new toys, including a miniature yacht with scarlet silk sails. The road went through the forest. The girl lowered the boat into the stream, ran after the sailing toy yacht and saw a stranger holding her boat in his hands. It was old Egle - "a collector of songs, legends, traditions and fairy tales." He gave the toy to Assol and told that years would pass, and when she  will grow up and become an adult, one day a prince would sail after her on the same ship under scarlet sails and take her to a distant country ...

"Scarlet Sails" is a holiday of graduates of Leningrad (and then St. Petersburg) schools, the appearance of which in the late 60s inspired the incredible popularity of the film of the same name based on the story by Alexander Green. The first celebration took place on June 27, 1968. On this day, Leningrad schoolchildren first saw a brigantine under scarlet sails on the Neva, which later became the emblem of the holiday.
