If you would like one of the Crimean Pearls to feel that you are by far the most thoughtful man she ever met, try to remember these few dates:
New Year, January 1st
The Russian New Years' Day was is celebrated the same as Christmas somewhere else in the world. Presents are given, families come together, Grandfather Frost (Santa Claus) leaves the presents for the children.
Russian Christmas, January 7
Christmas was banned as a holiday during the Soviet regime, Not so many Russians remember how it was many years ago, but this "tradition" is slowly coming back.
Valentine's Day
We started celebrating Valentine's Day about 4 years ago. Now it is a very well known holiday in Sevastopol.
Like in some other countries there is "mothers day" , in Sevastopol all women receive flowers on this day. If you forget your woman at this special day, it will be like you forget her birthday.
The Birthday
This is in Sevastopol, like everywhere in the world, very important and not allowed to forget!
