Novy God (Russian: Новый Год) is the Russian phrase for "New Year", and also designates the Russian New Year's Eve and New Year's Day celebration.
This celebration is observed in all post-Soviet states, and though the observance of the holiday is criticised by conservative Muslim groups in Central Asia,[1] and nationalist groups in the Baltics and Ukraine,[2] it remains popular across the region. It is also celebrated by the Russian diaspora all over the world.
