• How to meet the New Year in the Soviet Union in 1950

Soviet New Year, of course, different from the Russian New Year, but some elements remain unchanged for many years. Christmas trees, Santa Claus, Olivier and herring under a fur coat - these things accompany the celebration of the New Year, regardless of age.

New Year - the most favorite holiday, and children, and adults. On this day, the outgoing year gives way to the coming year, on this day you can start with a clean sheet (after the holidays, of course). Someone is waiting for him the joy of receiving the gift itself, someone is looking forward to the New Year's dinner, and someone loves best hike on the Christmas tree with your family.

Of course, then everything was different - and fashion, and the Christmas tree, and gifts, and toys. But you must admit, because you, too, stayed a couple of old Soviet toys that you hang on the Christmas tree next to the new? Let's see, what was the New Year in the 50s.
