The New Year’s Eve is the most important holiday in Russia. Many celebrate it twice : the 31 December and the 14 January (according to the old calendar). Anyway, each occasion is welcome to organise a party in Russia.

The International Women’s Day (March 8) is also very important : it’s a free day and women receive flowers and presents.
