Старый Новый год в России

Kanaeva Victoria BD-23

There was also an unusual holiday — the old New Year, that is, the New Year in the old style, which was not forgotten by the people. However, the old New Year was not celebrated on such a large scale as the night from December 31 to January 1. The transition to the Western European calendar took place on February 14, 1918. According to the decree, the main goal of the entire project was «to establish in Russia the same calculus as almost all cultural peoples.»

For me personally, the old New Year is a very interesting and exciting holiday. Most of all, I like to listen to adult stories about this holiday, what it means to them and how they celebrated it. If you look at it in general, then we celebrate this holiday, we just remember it and talk about something.
