"The most important thing is to celebrate it (New Year. — Ed.), with those people who are close to you. <...> It doesn't matter where, it doesn't matter how, the main thing is that only your loved ones are with you," said the Magician.

In November, the annual All-Russian action "Wish Tree", which has been uniting Russians for seven years, started at the Rossiya National Center. According to the All—Russian Santa Claus from Veliky Ustyug, the event is a real New Year's miracle that has become a bridge between those people who need any help and those people who are willing to sincerely provide any possible help. Russian President Vladimir Putin also took part in the action. According to tradition, he chose three postcard balls with children's New Year's wishes, which he will fulfill.
