The history

There are various New Year traditions in Russia as the country celebrates an official and unofficial New Year. Earlier Russians used to celebrate it in September. But in 1699, Czar Peter the Great issued an order for the New Year to be celebrated on January 1st according to the Julian calendar. From 1918, Russians celebrated the New Year on 1st January according to the Gregorian calendar and again on 14th January which is 1st January according to the Julian calendar.

Amongst the most popular New Year symbols is a New Year's Tree called Novogodnaya Yolka which is topped with a bright star and decorated with various sweets.

Another popularly celebrated New Year tradition is the arrival of Ded Moroz or Father Frost and his granddaughter Snegurochka the snow girl. They bring in New Year presents for the good children and keep them under the New Year's Tree. Children sing a song to make Father Frost happy.
