New Year
Description:
Happy New Year!
The custom of decorating the New Year tree existed in the world of the millennium and was interrupted after the October Revolution by the Soviet government, which declared the Christmas tree a religious relic. Nevertheless, in private life, Soviet citizens were unwilling to abandon the beautiful tradition. In 1937, Joseph Stalin officially resumed the celebration of the Christmas tree. Since then, a huge forest beauty, beautifully decorated, is installed in the center of Moscow on Red Square. The Golden Bible Star was replaced by the Red Star. The main children’s holiday of the Christmas tree is held in the Kremlin.
The first public New Year tree in the history of Kyrgyzstan was held in Pishpek (later the city of Frunze, now Bishkek) on December 28, 1895. 200 children were invited. They were both male and female students. The funds were collected by the local intelligentsia. The fun holiday was a success, but it did not end with one Christmas tree - in the evening of the same day an amateur performance with charitable purposes was staged. Proceeds at that time, a considerable amount - 85 rubles - went to help poor city students, as well as to the library-reading room that was supposed to open.
The celebration of the New Year in Kyrgyzstan is practically no different from a similar holiday in other republics of the former USSR. However, in this southern republic, the New Year is often celebrated without snow at a temperature of plus ten. However, those who wish can go to the mountains to ski bases, where there is as much snow as you want. On the eve of the New Year, a wonderful blue spruce, mined in the Tian Shan mountains, is brought to the capital and installed on the central square of Ala-Too. The most prestigious Christmas tree with the participation of the President of the country is held for children in the Opera and Ballet Theater named after Lenin (now named after Maldybaev).
