What does the beginning of the year mean for Mari, Evenks and Vepsians? How does the Yakut Ysyakh differ from the Kalmyk Zula, and how does the Buryat Sagaalgan differ from the Chuvash Surkhuri? Why do the Nganasans wear mortal clothes and what offerings do the Nanai spirits of water expect from them? New Year - one of the most favorite and long-awaited holidays - is celebrated in every region in its own way. They fortune-tell, prepare treats, wish for prosperity, decorate their homes, and appeal to their ancestors and higher powers. At this time, ancient rituals and traditions come to life as if by magic.
