Throughout the year the village of Krasnoilsk, Ukraine, which lies about 7 miles from the border with Romania, lives like any other. Locals raise children, plant potatoes, breed sheep, and cut wood.

Ukrainian photojournalist Alexey Furman documents the holiday that is close to his heart and his roots.
