The Year of the Gnome

Старый Новый год.
Today first of Russian year in accords with Julian calendar.

Illustrious Ancestor Пётр Алексе́евич Рома́нов or Pyotr Alexeyevich Romanov (Peter the Great) send us on Julian calendar in 1699; since 1918 we forced to fake new year with - *bah* Gregorians... but some traditionals still apply for Старый Новый год.

We wish Happyness of 2009 to all!
