As you know, the New Year was not celebrated in Rus'. But our ancestors had Christmas, Epiphany, Christmastide, Candlemas, Maslenitsa... Of these and others holiday traditions we will get ideas for our New Year's table.
Pickles
Unlike modern housewives, Russian peasants did not buy any Turkish cucumbers, nor Dutch tomatoes (which, however, by the end of December have neither taste nor smell - only nitrates). Therefore, traditional Russian cuisine is rich in all kinds of pickles, fermentations and urines. Crispy pickles, delicious tomatoes with juicy pulp and cracked peel, with snow-white cloves of garlic, sauerkraut, strong saffron milk caps and milk mushrooms in sour cream - all this is affordable and completely delicious snacks for the New Year's table. With one condition: the quality must be first-class. No store-bought marinades, only real homemade ones!
Pies
Big pies and small ones rosy pies, shaneshki and wickets, pies and kulebyaki, with cabbage, mushrooms, fish - this is an aroma for the whole house and the childish delight of your guests. Believe me, the result is worth the effort, because after homemade cakes you can convey to your loved ones the enormous energy of your love and care.
Buzhenina
Do you know what is tastier, more natural and much cheaper than the usual store-bought sausages and hams? Homemade boiled pork on the bone, marinated overnight sour kvass with honey and spices and baked in the oven. Buy meat from the market, never frozen. And you don't have to spend exorbitant amounts of money on a Christmas goose!
Guryevskaya porridge
Surprisingly, in Russian traditional cuisine you can find desserts no worse than “all kinds” of cheesecakes. It's luxurious semolina, layered with foam from homemade heavy cream simmered in the oven, decorated with nuts and stewed in caramel syrup fruits. Peaches, grapes, pineapples, kiwi will add notes of exoticism without destroying the folk flavor of the dish. Your loved ones have never tried this before!
Intoxicating honey
Set drinks are another wonderful folk tradition that has been lost over the last hundred years. You can prepare intoxicated honey in just 5 days. One part of honey is diluted in five parts of water, boiled for at least an hour, and after straining it is fermented with starter or yeast. Berries and hops are added for taste. Here it is, our answer to mulled wine and grog!
Samovar
It sounds proud, it looks impressive! And for some reason, tea from a samovar always seems much tastier...
Ear
This is the morning salvation for those who celebrated too hard. Good, rich Russian fish soup is praised by everyone, from the first Russian princes to the presidents of the 21st century. To make your fish soup festive but economical, combine noble varieties of fish (sturgeon, salmon) with more affordable fish, such as crucian carp, ruffe, whitefish and burbot. You won’t believe it, but in Rus' the ruff ear was valued so highly that they lightened it with pressed black caviar. The caviar was thrown away, and the fish soup was eaten with pleasure.
Stylized table setting
Of course, not every home will have wooden spoons, painted ladles, Khokhloma tubs, bowls and tubs. However, it is entirely within your power to create the atmosphere. Table setting should be simple and rustic: linen tablecloth and napkins, as many clay or wooden dishes as possible. Fluffy fir branch and more candles. Beauty!
And a good mood!
It was also said in Domostroy that at any feast, sweetness can turn bitter, since the behavior of the participants in the feast affects the taste of the prepared dishes. Mutual respect, gratitude, a sincere desire to rejoice and please others are the key to a good holiday!

In many wedding ceremonies, specially prepared dishes were used. For example, for matchmaking in the groom’s house they prepared fish pie, which was then brought to the house of the future bride.
For the main feast, they took a specially decorated tablecloth. The newlyweds' amulets were encrypted in the patterned embroidery. The bride and groom were seated at the head of the table.

The offers of event agencies are replete with all kinds of events, the topics of which relate to cultures and traditions unfamiliar to us. Russian folk style undeservedly relegated to the background. So why not recreate ancient traditions and have fun in the images of brave guys and Russian beauties?

Where and how to organize fun?
The basic rule for a Russian party is that the larger the room, the better. Ideally, such celebrations should take place outdoors in nature or on the territory of a country cottage.
To recreate the picture of past years and imbue the atmosphere with the real Russian spirit, you need to add a certain amount of details to the decor of the room: tufts of straw, bear skins on the floor and on the walls, beautifully arranged wicker baskets, nesting dolls and boxes. Dishes on the tables should be wooden and clay. Tables and chairs can be covered with burlap, canvas, and wooden lampshades can be hung from the ceiling.
Don't forget to highlight the style of your party with fabrics with Russian patterns folk style.
Chairs, a festive table, walls can be decorated with such patterns, even waiters can have a uniform with elements of such a pattern, however, do not overdo it with patterns! There should be one leader, the others can only partially complement him in the design details.
What outfit to choose for a Russian folk party?
There are two ways to decide the dress code for a Russian-style party. The first is an authentic outfit, which refers to folk costumes, recreated in its original form. The second is to dress in modern clothes, stylized as folk ones. Today, many fashion designers offer quite stylish and comfortable things that will be appropriate not only for a themed event, but also for everyday life.
Girls should pay attention to sundresses and shirts with puffy sleeves. The head is decorated with a kokoshnik or ribbon. You definitely need to put your hair in a braid; those with short haircuts can think about extensions.
The approximate composition of a suit for guys looks like this: wide loose pants, a satin shirt with embroidery and a scarlet sash. A cap with a flower on the head will complement the image.
What to serve on the table in Russian style?
Russian cuisine has always been distinguished not only by its unique flavor, but also by its delicious and hearty dishes. Serve baked poultry or roast suckling pig. You can cook potatoes and mushrooms with the meat. All kinds of pickles must be present on the table: tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage. Sweets: gingerbread, bagels, cranberries in sugar, jam.
Drinks that were popular in Rus': kvass, mead. The “stronger” option is vodka, of course. Organize a real tea party at the samovar.
For table setting, tablecloths with Russian folklore patterns are perfect, the dishes can be wooden, and in the middle of the table there is a huge samovar; all this will certainly complete the interior design of your evening.
What music to dance to and how to have fun?
The musical accompaniment of the evening is Russian folk songs, which can be found in the recording (ensemble " Golden ring", for example), or invite a folk group that will perform several numbers live. If the guests of the holiday are young people, then order a DJ who will make excellent dance hits based on folk songs.
Russian people love to have fun, so the entertainment should be appropriate. Organize a tug of war, and, despite the fact that this is a purely male entertainment, involve girls in the exciting action - it will be a lot of fun!
Another interesting competition about the bathhouse! To carry it out, you need to prepare all kinds of equipment that you need for going to the bathhouse: brooms, basins, sheets, hats for the steam room. Several players must dance to a fiery melody, but at the same time “steam” with a broom. At a certain moment, the music stops, and then the players must very quickly pull on their hats, wrap themselves in a sheet and plop down into the basin. Whoever is faster wins!
For quiet entertainment, a quiz on knowledge of Russian culture and traditions is suitable - an excellent break between music and dance marathons. In addition, guests will also enjoy competitions in which they need to remember Russian folk ditties and songs. Give prizes to the winners and let them be items of Russian folk art.
A party in the Russian style is not only fun, joy and dancing, it is a kind of tribute to the traditions and culture of our country. So let's popularize something that is so often forgotten. Our ancestors knew how to have fun, let's learn from them?
