The new episode of "Conversations about the Important with Tamara Eidelman" is dedicated to New Year traditions, their connection to Russian history, their diversity, and unity. The discussion will cover how the character of New Year has changed over time, from being a pagan calendar holiday to yielding to Christmas as the "main holiday," and later becoming the sole celebration when Christmas was prohibited. The episode also explores how the state and families come together under the New Year tree.
