Russians know many of these c \u043c\u043b\u0430\u0434\u044b<\/span>\u0445 \u043d\u043e\u0433\u0442\u0435<\/span>\u0439<\/strong> (from the youngest age). Most of these songs are either from cartoons of wholesome family movies. These are songs to play \u0434\u043e \u043f\u043e\u043b\u0443<\/span>\u043d\u043e\u0447\u0438<\/strong> (before midnight).

They are the visual and auditory version of \u0441\u0430\u043b\u0430<\/span>\u0442 \u041e\u043b\u0438\u0432\u044c\u0435<\/span><\/strong> (Olivier salad) chased down with a swig of \u0448\u0430\u043c\u043f\u0430<\/span>\u043d\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0435<\/strong> (sparkling wine). They are the \u043c\u0438\u0448\u0443\u0440\u0430<\/span><\/strong> (tinsel) on the New Year tree. They are the impromptu fireworks set off by your neighbors right under your window \u0432 \u043d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0433\u043e\u0434\u043d\u044e\u044e \u043d\u043e\u0447\u044c (on the New Year night) .
