The All-Cossack Alliance of San Francisco hosted the Old Style New Year's Eve. The holiday brought together members of the Congress of Russian Americans (CRA), representatives of the Russian community and their friends. According to the organizers, Russian balls have become a significant event in the cultural life of San Francisco over the past 100 years.
According to representatives of the CRA, the League of Russian-American Women organized a virtual Christmas party for students of Russian schools in the USA, during which a concert and a meeting of children with Santa Claus took place. In-person events were also held, during which the New Year's wizard handed children sets of Russian sweets.
Last year, despite the pandemic that made adjustments to the CRA's program of activities, the organization was able to carry out many activities aimed at combating Russophobia, promoting Russian culture, cooperation between Moscow and Washington in the educational sphere, and supporting the sick and those in need.

"Russians build houses from things they have available at hand. Their skills and sense of beauty are admired all over the world," says photographer Fyodor Savintsev. Fyodor was engaged in photojournalism for about 20 years. His attention recently has been drawn to Russian "dachas" - country houses that might seem to be of a dime-a-dozen type and are scattered throughout the Arkhangelsk region.
