Yes you wrote it correct!
You know main celebrating time will be at next weekend. But during whole week we follow (espesially in far parts of country) tradition which connected with cooking pancakes and have/visit guests! And as a final part of this week is a burning of scarecrow of Maslenitsa. What symbolizes end of the winter season.
And I think you are right and I need to create post about this tradition!
