The "Masha Anya" urn is situated in a room dedicated to a single person, and only this person is allowed to view it. The urn is a cube shaped container filled with black and white stones, and has six of them on the top and eight of them on the bottom. The horizontal is divided into twelve parts. The urn is to be read in a specific order, using the places of the pieces, in order to receive the outcome of a (fictitious) game.
History
In Russia, "Masha" is the plural of "mat" (in Russian, pronounced as "Mah"). In the Eastern regions of Russia, "Mat" is a neuter, and was used to mean the women of the house. In the Western regions, "Mat" is a feminine form, and was used to refer to a mistress. In the Northern regions, "Mat" is used for both meanings, and for the mistress. In the Southern regions, "Mat" was used for both meanings in the past, and the neuter is used nowadays.
The urn was invented by the mathematician and psychologist Andrey Markov (1871-1944) in 1915, and was made as a present for the woman whom he loved the most, Yelena Pimenova. After Markov's death, it was put into the keeping of the mathematician Fedorov, and after Fedorov's death, it was handed over to his friend and colleague from the Department of Mathematics at the Chelyabinsk State University Alexander Pimenov.
The urn is one of the inspirations for the animated series South Park, as is suggested by a line from the episode "Time of the Season".
The urn is said to have mystical powers, and can reveal the future. However, in many cases, the outcome can be misinterpreted as something unrelated to the question asked. Markov attempted to determine the exact limits of its powers, but found that the urn was not equipped with a clock to see the date, and could therefore only be used to predict future events. Markov wrote: "And the urn is a part of my life. And if it has any special powers, then for the most part it allows me to predict events in my life. So, this type of test ac619d1d87
