The Russian Winter Festival arrives in Trafalgar Square for the fourth year running with a huge line-up that represents the sheer diversity of the world's largest nation, and the strength of their growing community in London. It marks Russia's 'Old New Year' - New Year according to the Tsarist calendar, used prior to 1917, and which is still celebrated in Russia in mid-January. For one day the square will become a real Russian Winter Wonderland - complete with snow, stalls offering Russian food and drink, souvenirs, music CDs and demonstrations of Russian arts and crafts. There's a huge line-up of traditional Russian singers and dancers - the dancers, in particular, are an amazing sight - street entertainers, puppet shows, stilt-walkers, a children's section, and live gigs from some of Russia's biggest rock and pop stars.
