Being only 7+ on 31/12/40 and doing again the first school year (as the authorities did not recognize the preceding year at the Meisler school), I do not remember this celebration, although I remember
the parades on 07/11/40 and 01/05/41
a t the Ringplatz where all schools marched with red flags and plackards along the podium with military and civilian dignitaries.
However as far as I know New year balls and festivities (based on lots and lots of alcoholic drinks ) are an important event in Russia
