Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov MOSCOW, January 13 Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov congratulated the journalists on the Day of the Russian Press and the Old New Year. The Day of the Russian Press was approved by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of Russia in 1991 and is celebrated annually on January 13. «If I remember correctly, today is the Day of the Press. Everyone who has anything to do with this, Congratulations from the bottom of our hearts, «Peskov told reporters on Thursday.» We also congratulate those who remember the Old New Year, on the next Old New Year, «he added. Old New Year (according to the old style or, otherwise, according to Julian calendar) is celebrated on the night of January 14. The difference in dates is due to the fact that in Russia in 1918 a new style of chronology was adopted, that is, the Gregorian calendar.
