It's New Year's Day, which is celebrated annually on January 1st.

One of the most popular traditions in Russia is to decorate a New Year's tree. The tree is usually decorated with lights, ornaments, and tinsel, and is often topped with a star or an angel.

Another important tradition is the New Year's Eve feast, which typically includes a variety of dishes such as salads, meats, fish, and desserts. At midnight on New Year's Eve, people usually watch the President's New Year's Address on television and listen to the Kremlin clock. This is followed by fireworks displays and parties that continue into the early hours of the morning. New Year's Day is a time for joy, celebration, and hope in Russia.
