ahead begin bells broadcast everybody hour kremlin listen moscow ringing rings russia soviet tv union until wait watch year
Nothing has really changed. Moscow is an hour ahead of us, so under the Soviet Union we would watch the TV broadcast and listen to the ringing of the Kremlin's bells - the New Year in Russia doesn't begin until the Kremlin rings its bells. Then we would wait an hour and have our own celebration in Belarus. Everybody still celebrates like they did then.
