How to say Merry Christmas in Russian (Instruction video)
- Thread starter ShivaFan
- Start date
The Commies banned Christmas in 1925 in the USSR as "bourgeois and religious" and it was only legalised in 1992. It was replaced with "days of industrialisation" which were "celebrated" by people going to work to fulfill the five year plan or "Komosol Christmas" which were celebrations of the state's Atheist ideology by paradoying and mocking Christmas celebrations.
Since 1935 many of the Christmas traditions were used as part of secular New Years celebrations, including a decorated tree and a gift giving Dez Moz or "grand father frost" who delivers presents to children on new years eve. (In 1928 Dez Moz are the Russian Santa was declared an "ally of the priest and the Kulak" and banned.) Its still part of Russian culture and other East European countries traditions as a hang over from the Communist Days.
