In our country it appeared in 1700 after the decree of the Peter the Great, according to which it was ordered to decorate houses with branches of spruce, pine and juniper. In the tsarist Russia, the biggest New Year trees were installed in the Anichkov Palace and in hall of the Nobility Assembly, there were also organized tobogganing, carousels, bazaars of children's toys and lottery.
