On principle of communism is to have no links to religion. As a result after the October revolution in 1917
the traditional Christian holiday was adapted. In 1935, the Christian
celebration became part of a more secular New Years holiday. A ёлка, or a
spruce was decorated, just like a Christmas tree. Just like Christmas, houses
put up decorations. Instead of Santa visiting, Дед Мороз, also know as Grand Father Frost came
and delivered gifts with his granddaughter Снегурочка, the snow maiden.
