意思
The start of the calendar year.
文化背景
The 'President's Address' is a mandatory TV event. Almost every household turns on the TV at 11:55 PM to hear the summary of the year and the midnight chimes. The movie 'The Irony of Fate' (Ирония судьбы) is shown on TV every single New Year's Eve. Most Russians know the lines by heart. Tangerines (мандарины) are the official fruit of the holiday. In the Soviet era, they were one of the few fresh fruits available in winter, imported from Georgia or Morocco. The 'Old New Year' on January 14th is a chance for those who missed the first party or want a quieter celebration to do it all over again.
The 'With' Greeting
Always remember the 'С' and the '-ым -ом' endings for greetings. It's the most common mistake for beginners.
Don't come empty-handed
If invited to a 'Новый год' party, always bring a bottle of champagne or a box of chocolates (конфеты).
