In anticipation of the New Year, Muscovites turn to Ded Moroz with requests that go beyond traditional wishes. At a press conference in Kuzminki Park, the Chief Ded Moroz of Moscow talked about the unusual requests he receives from adult residents of the capital. Every day, this magical character receives thousands of letters from adults asking for help in solving difficult life situations. Some of the most common requests include closing mortgage loans, finding new jobs, and even getting discounts on construction materials. Ded Moroz tries to respond to everyone who contacts him, sending them rays of kindness and good luck in their endeavors.
Interestingly, these requests reflect the current problems faced by many Russians. According to an anonymous survey conducted by the Bankiros platform, most Russians hope for the lifting of Western sanctions, an increase in income levels, and a strengthening of the ruble - some even dream of a dollar exchange rate of 30 rubles. At the same time, there are those who wish for a dollar exchange rate of 150 rubles, a decrease in retail prices, and "mercy" in the conditions of economic instability.
The Chief Ded Moroz of Moscow assures that the upcoming year 2025 will be successful for all Russians. However, his responses are not limited to just promises. He emphasizes the importance of believing in the best and urges people not to lose hope for positive changes.
Appeals to Ded Moroz have become a kind of reflection of the social and economic realities faced by the people of Russia. In times of instability and uncertainty, they seek support and hope for a better future by turning to the symbol of New Year's miracles.
Magician with a special purpose: A Ded Moroz costume "in Donbass style" has been found. Russians have chosen red as the main color for Ded Moroz's costume. And the perfect companion for the old man, according to Russians, is Snegurochka.
