MOSCOW, December 23. /TASS/. Russia's main New Year's tree set up on the Kremlin’s Cathedral Square has already been decorated with more than 2,500 toys and two kilometers of garlands, the Russian President's Directorate told TASS.

"The decorating choices reflect New Year's traditions of different parts of Russia. Father Frosts (Russian Santas) and Snow Maidens of various nations around the tree illustrate the variety of holiday customs in Russia," the directorate noted. A total of 400 toys were made especially for this project.

This year special attention was given to small decorations. Baubles and snowflakes adorn the finer branches of the fir tree. A total of 150 LED elements, including icicles with a running light and shimmering pendants, illuminate the spruce.

The 90-year-old tree, which is 30 meters tall, was brought to the Moscow Kremlin from the Mozhaysk district to the west of Moscow on December 12. The Russian President's Directorate noted that Russia's primary New Year's tree is "both an important element of the holiday and part of an environmental project." After the holidays are over, the wood of the fir tree will be used to create souvenirs, and new fir trees will be grown from the seeds of the cones.
