Happy Old New Year to all my beloved mutuals who have no idea what I’m talking about <3
#for context. imperial Russia used a different calendar which was behind the one we’re used to by two weeks#why? fuck knows. before Peter the great we used to count years from the creation of the world#a.k.a 8000 something#which is to say. we’ve always had a fucked up calendar lmao#it’s also why greece and russia celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January btw#and why October Revolution day is on November 7th lmao#ANYWAY#then after the revolution the switch was made to join the majority of the world#but old habits stayed#therefore. holy shit. two new years :)#(and if you’re Korean like me you also get lunar new year. if you’re uzbek like me you also get Navruz)#(holy shit four new years!!)#just a cool fun fact for all of you :)#🗑️🔥#<— no trash fires here this is just my Summoning Mutuals tag now
