Traditions of celebrating the New Year in different periods of Russian history. You will learn how emperors, aristocrats and peasants celebrated January 1st, what their outfits, festive table, fortune telling and gifts were like at different times.

New Year is the most magical winter holiday. We have known its traditions since early childhood, but few people know how the New Year became what we celebrate now.

Ekaterina Mokrusheva will tell you where the New Year celebration came from and when it was celebrated in Rus'. How did not only emperors, but also their subjects celebrate January 1st? How did our great-grandmothers decorate the Christmas tree? What did they serve on the table? And how did Olivier salad, Soviet films and a certain color of clothing become an integral part of New Year's preparations?
