New Year is the most amazing and truly much-loved holiday. January 1 opens a new magical page in life for each of us filled with vivid impressions, unforgettable journeys, discoveries, achievements and long-awaited meetings.
In Russia, no New Year's Eve is complete without Snegurochka (Snow Maiden). This fairy-tale beauty is the embodiment of purity, youth, merry-making and she makes the winter holiday more colorful and joyful. Together with her forest friends - hares, foxes, squirrels, hedgehogs and bear cubs - she arranges delicious tea parties, helps Father Frost to distribute gifts and sweets to children, do circle dances, play and have fun.
The postage stamp provides an artwork by Zinaida Farmanova Snow Maiden with a Samovar.
