The first New Year tree in the Kremlin took children from all over the country in 1954. In those years, the main characters of the holiday were the Bolsheviks, Red Army soldiers, peasants and workers. Since 1964, the preparation of New Year’s performances was entrusted to young screenwriters and directors of the Our Home student theater.
