A.  Perhaps the most favourite holiday in Russia is New Year's Eve. Russian people love it even more now because of long holidays (usually from the 1^st to the 9^th or 10^th of January). Traditionally, New Year's Eve is a family holiday, which is usually spent at home with loved ones, when you can eat tasty food, play board games or spend a lot of time outdoors.

B.  The date for Christmas in Russia is different from Europe. In Russia it is one of the main religious Christian holidays. Christmas Day is the beginning of the Christmas period, which lasts until the 19th of January. During this time, Russian girls used to predict their future. It was believed that at Christmas time, such fortunetelling was most likely to come true.

C.  People in Russia think International Women's Day is very important. This is a holiday that has expanded its limits. It was originally dedicated to the struggle by women for their rights, but over the years, it has almost lost its meaning. Now on this day, Russian men give women flowers and small gifts and do all the housework.

D.  The 9^th of May is one of the most important and favourite holidays in Russia. It is dedicated to Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941−1945. This is the day to congratulate veterans and remember the heroism of Soviet soldiers, many of whom had to pay for the victory with their lives. The 9th of May ends with a firework display in all cities of Russia.

E.  The 1^st of September is the beginning of the school year in Russia. On this day you can see lots of school children with bouquets of flowers, accompanied by their parents to school. Not all of them have greatly missed their studies over the summer, but still they are happy to be back at school, to meet old friends and to make new ones.
