"While we danced," remembered the last great tsar, Alexander Mikhailovich, "riots were going on in St. Petersburg, and more and more clouds were gathering in the Far East."
By the middle of the 19th century, balls were widely arranged not only in Petersburg and Moscow, where thousands were held every year, but in smaller provincial towns. The traditional ball season lasted from Christmas until the last day of maslenitsa (the Russian equivalent of Shrove Tuesday, but lasting an entire week), at the end of February or beginning of March. During the rest of the year, they occurred relatively infrequently, and were held on special occasions.
Court balls usually took place in St. Petersburg, and they were more of a social duty for aristocrats than for fun. Attendance for those invited was compulsory, and only those with serious illness or in mourning could miss the ball.
