The Russians
celebrate twice the
New Year. One of the
Gregorian calendar
(January 1) and that of
the Orthodox religion
(January 14), without
forgetting the Orthodox
Christmas (7 January).

The Soviet regime forbade "comrades" to
celebrate Catholic Christmas. The Russians
took the practice to honor the birth of Christ on
the day of the Western new Year and celebrate
two holidays in one.

Christmas trees were also banned by the
regime in 1917 as "a bourgeois practice"
but people continued to decorate their
"New Year“ trees
