New Year in Russia

Novy God is the Russian phrase for "New Year", and also designates the Russian New Year's Eve and New Year's Day celebration. The coming of the new year and the actual beginning of the celebration is marked by the Kremlin Clock striking twelve. The midnight is preceded by the holiday message of the President of Russia and followed by the playing of the National Anthem of Russia. Russians generally take the week between New Year and Christmas (celebrated on 7 January, corresponding to Christmas Day according to the Julian Calendar) off. Of course, like all country this evening you will take part in the celebration - be ready for the most cheerful and loud holiday in your life!
