The Tournament of St George 2015 to be held at the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve in Moscow, Russia

On May 2 - 3, the Tournament of Saint George will be held on the beautiful grounds of the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve in Moscow, Russia. This fifteenth century style competitive jousting tournament will be hosted by Ratobor Show, the same group who produced the first international jousting tournament in Russia during the Times & Epochs History Festival in 2013, and by jouster/tournament organizer Dmitry Savchenko. Dmitry and Ratobor Show also worked together recently to produce the gorgeous Christmas Tournament in Khrabrovo 2015.
