2. The President’s New
year speech is an old
tradition. The Russian
President wishes all the
best to the citizens. And
then the Kremlin chimes
strike. A New Year
starts.

3. The tradition of listening to the President’s New Year speech
is followed by most people in Russia. Almost every family
listens to him. All members of the family gather around the
table. They think of wishes and when the Kremlin chimes
strike, they touch their glasses and drink their beverages.

4. The tradition of listening to the
President’s speech was offered
in XX century. At first not every
family listened to the President
because not every family had a
TV-set or a radio in their flat. But
now it is easy to watch TV. And
people can watch and listen to
the President’s speech, if they
want of course…

5. The President’s New Year
speech is associated with the
Kremlin and the Spasskaya
tower. Every year we see our
President on this background.
Every year starts with the
President’s speech. Every year
we listen to him. It is a tradition.

6. After the President’s speech the members of the family exchange
their gifts. It is also a tradition. They present gifts to show that a new
year starts. They say, that on 1 January every person can start a new
life. And these presents are things of a new life.

7. The celebrating of the New Year on 1
January includes a party with a tasty
dinner and watching TV. Of course
people see the President and listen to
his speech on the TV. He always says
his speech at midnight on the first
canal. People turn on their TV ten
minutes before New Year. And then
they start to celebrate New Year.
