The country's chief wizard from Veliky Ustyug continues travelling across Russian cities
The train of Father Frost arrived in Ufa on 25 December, and the next day will go to Samara. In total, during the journey, which will last until 11 January 2025, he will visit more than 60 cities.
In each of the settlements everyone can come to meet the wizard. For example, recently the festive line-up visited Omsk, where Father Frost told the locals how to make a wish on New Year's Eve.
"A cherished wish is the most important and valuable thing you have. It should bring joy to you or your loved ones. Therefore, think carefully and do not rush. <...> If the wish is kind and sincere, it will definitely come true," reports his words “Omsk Zdes”, a partner of TV BRICS.
This is Father Frost's fourth trip across Russia. In the three previous years, he visited more than 170 cities. The mobile residence will travel almost 30 thousand kilometres in 54 days.
