Participants take part in a pillow fight contest during the celebrations of Sabantuy, a summer holiday marking the end of spring crop planting, in Nizhnekamsk, Russia's Republic of Tatarstan. Sabantuy is a Tatar, Idel-Uralian, Bashkir and Kazakh summer festival, that dates back to the Volga Bulgarian epoch. At first Sabantuy was a festival of farmers in rural areas, but it later became a national holiday and now is widely celebrated in the cities.
