Information about the celebration of the New Year in Russia appears from the end of the 15th century - “The Paris Dictionary of the Muscovites” (XVI century) retained the Russian name of the New Year holiday: “The first day of the year”. Each year began on March 1, according to the Julian calendar, and ended on February 28, or February 29 in leap years. Since 1492, each new year in Russia began on September 1, according to the Julian calendar. Under Peter I in Russia, beginning in 1700 from the birth of Christ, the new year began to be celebrated annually on January 1, according to the same Julian calendar .
