New Year’s Eve 100 years ago was celebrated by aristocrats and peasants, at grand celebrations and small soirees among the Royal family and soldiers on the WWI front lines. In 1914 the Russian Empire entered a war with Germany, and the Orthodox Church suggested that Christmas trees should be banned, for belonging to the enemy’s Protestant tradition. Several people living in different Russian cities and belonging to different social classes join forces to defend the beloved Christmas symbol.
