First New Year
Earlier Russians used
to celebrate it in September. But in 1699, Tzar
Peter the Great issued an order for the New Year to be celebrated on January 1st according to the Julian calendar. Since 1918, Russians have celebrated the New Year on January 1st according to the Gregorian calendar and again on 14th January which is 1st January according to the Julian calendar.

Traditions
In some
families people have a tradition to bake Christmas cakes
and put a surprise in it-a coin, too much salt or too much sugar. Anyone who gets the coin, will get rich next year, the one who gets the salted cake will have some trouble, and the sweet cake will bring funny, sweet life next year.
Of course, there’s no New Year without
a family get together and delicious meals and fireworks. People have a sumptuous dinner with a glass of bubbling champagne. Another tradition is the listening to the New Year Speech made by the President of Russia on New Year's Eve. One famous New Year tradition in Russia is fortune telling. Most unmarried girls and women follow this tradition.
