Slide 1

Completed by an 11th grade student of Municipal Educational Institution Secondary School No. 2 in Pechora, Maria Kaneva
History of Soviet New Year's toys.

Slide 2

A little from the history of the New Year in the USSR...
At the dawn of formation Soviet Union(in 1927) as part of an anti-religious campaign, the Bolsheviks banned the Christmas tree and Christmas tree decorations. “Only he who is a friend of the priests is ready to celebrate the Christmas tree.” (Propaganda slogan of the 1920s) “The guys are being deceived that Santa Claus brought them gifts. The religiosity of the children begins with the Christmas tree. The ruling exploiting classes also use the “cute” Christmas tree and the “kind” Santa Claus in order to make obedient and patient servants of capital out of the working people.” (“Materials for anti-religious propaganda during Christmas”, 1927)

Slide 3

New Year traditions returned only in 1935. From a letter from a candidate member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, Pavel Postyshev, published by the newspaper Pravda on December 28, 1935: “In pre-revolutionary times, the bourgeoisie and officials of the bourgeoisie always arranged for New Year a Christmas tree for your children. The children of the workers looked through the window with envy at the Christmas tree sparkling with multi-colored lights and the children of the rich having fun around it. Why do our schools, orphanages, nurseries, children's clubs, palaces of pioneers deprive the working children of the Soviet country of this wonderful pleasure? Some, none other than “left” benders, glorified this children's entertainment like a bourgeois idea. This wrongful condemnation of the Christmas tree, which is a wonderful entertainment for children, must come to an end. Let’s organize a fun New Year’s Eve for children, let’s arrange a good Soviet Christmas tree in all cities and collective farms.”

Slide 4

That same year in November, Stalin, at the first congress of Stakhanovites, said his famous phrase: “Life has become better, life has become more fun, comrades!” In general, the Christmas tree, which was so unexpectedly allowed, became confirmation happy life proletariat, joyful childhood, as well as school uniforms (girls began to wear white aprons and brown dresses to school, and boys - blue suits) and many other seemingly insignificant details.

Slide 5

Soviet New Year's toys.
In the 1930s and 1940s, New Year trees were decorated with homemade or handicraft toys purchased at the market. In schools and kindergartens, children learned to make New Year's decorations from cotton wool, cardboard, papier-mâché, cut out paper garlands, and assemble structures from tubes and bugles on wire.

Slide 6

Factory-made jewelry at that time was a luxury item and a great rarity, but their mass production was gradually being established. The Moskabel plant was one of the first to establish serial production of New Year's toys made of wire.

Slide 7

Using New Year's toys from the times of the USSR, you can literally study the history of our country. Children figurines, fairy tale characters, clowns, ballerinas, strange birds and animals, fruits and vegetables, of course, remained from pre-revolutionary times.
But the angels were replaced by bright symbols of the Soviet era: balls with a hammer and sickle, “ruby” stars, athletes and pioneers with red flags, Budenovites, Red Army soldiers, women in padded jackets and scarlet headscarves.

Slide 8

In addition to patriotic propaganda symbols, “classic stories” from school curriculum: Ivan Tsarevich, Mistress Copper Mountain, Ruslan and Lyudmila, Brother Rabbit and Brother Fox, Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Crocodile with Totosha and Kokosha, Doctor Aibolit.

Slide 9

With the release of the film “The Circus” (in 1936), circus-themed figures became popular: clowns, tigers, trained dogs, other animals, illusionists, fakirs and entertainers.

Slide 10

The development of the North was marked by the appearance of figures of polar explorers.
A separate theme in the history of the Soviet New Year's toy is the theme of the war in Spain. In 1938, a glass ball was released containing two planes, one of which was diving the other.

Slide 11

The era of aeronautics also found its worthy reflection in Christmas tree decorations in the form of airships, airplanes, parachutes and parachutists with the inscription “USSR”.

Slide 12

During Soviet times, the “image” of the Soviet Father Frost was also developed. Our Father Frost began to resemble the bourgeois Santa Claus only with a gray beard, fur clothes and a red bag of gifts. Otherwise, the Soviet Father Frost does not look like a plump gnome, he is a tall, mature hero. Father Frost's fur coat, unlike Santa Claus's, goes down to his toes and is girded not with a belt, but with a sash. On his head, Santa Claus has a hat with an even edge without any tassels or pompoms. The hands are in huge mittens, and the feet are wearing either red boots or “patriotic” felt boots.
And Father Frost arrives not on reindeer, but on a Russian troika... And not alone, but with a charming young lady - Snegurochka, who has no analogues in any country.

Slide 13

During the Great Patriotic War(in 1941-1945) decorating the New Year tree was mandatory - it reminded the soldiers of peaceful life, gave strength and hope for a quick victory. At the same time, at the fronts, the Christmas trees were decorated with figurines made from shoulder straps, bandages, and socks. Factories also continued to produce New Year's toys, albeit in limited editions. “Military” Christmas trees were decorated with “soldiers”, “tanks”, “Stalin’s armored cars”, “pistols”, “orderly dogs”, and on New Year’s greeting cards During the Second World War, Santa Claus beat the Nazis...

In the 1960s, “cobs of corn” and “sheaves of wheat” were hung on Christmas trees.

Slide 17

Since nothing “monumental” has happened in the history of the Soviet Union since Brezhnev times, there are significantly fewer themed toys. New Year decoration gradually became more abstract. In addition, with the advent of fashion for minimalism and avant-garde, Christmas tree decorations have become simpler. The figures became more and more rounded, and the paintings became simpler.

From the history of the Christmas tree toys.

(information for children of a cognitive nature)

How and where they first appeared Christmas decorations- history is silent. We only know that at first they were very, very simple, but gradually became more complex and interesting.

Previously, the Christmas tree was decorated "edible decorations"- apples, waffles, nuts in gold pieces, other fruits and sweets, honey gingerbread. And only then the first ones appear "inedible" Christmas decorations.

The first Christmas trees in Rus' toys were not made of glass, as, presumably, in other countries, and from scrap materials - rags, straw, colored ribbons, and later from paper and foil. There were even special workshops that did this.

Also in our country, cotton wool was produced toys. The basis for the figurine of the cotton man was a wire frame wrapped in cotton wool. Eyes, eyebrows and nose were painted with a brush, and cheeks were painted with a cotton swab. The suit was cut out of white or pre-dyed cotton wool. The finished figurine was covered with glue. Large figures, usually depicting Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, were placed under the Christmas tree.

"From the history

New Year's toys"


Everything has its own history. Even New Year's toys. The New Year began to be celebrated only in 1700 by decree of Peter 1. In Rus', the New Year's tree was decorated with edible toys. The custom of decorating a Christmas tree with factory-made New Year's products appeared in Russia only in 1817. The most popular at that time were cardboard toys and products. But in 1918, the winter holiday was erased from the life of the country. Everything returned to normal only in 1935, the New Year was rehabilitated. After the New Year was rehabilitated in Russia, New Year's tree decorations also changed. Figures of children, clowns, ballerinas, birds, animals, fruits and vegetables remain. But figures of pioneers and Red Army soldiers appeared. Star-shaped pendant toys with a hammer and sickle and balls with stars appeared. That's how the New Year came to us, with Christmas tree decorations, lights and fireworks, winter children's fun - sleds, skis, ice skates, Santa Claus and gifts...

The history of the appearance of New Year's toys Completed by: Lidiya Litovchenko, student of class 6 “A” of the Irkutsk Municipal Budget Educational Institution Secondary School No. 77 Supervisor: E. O. Konstantinova.

Project goal: Find out the history of the appearance of New Year's toys in different historical periods

Objectives: Find out what the first toys were in Russia. Learn how New Year's toys were made. Determine when the tradition of decorating the New Year tree began.

The history of the emergence of the New Year tradition In ancient times, the Celtic peoples had a custom of worshiping natural forces. It was believed that living nature was inhabited by various supernatural creatures, and in order to receive their help, it was necessary to make sacrifices, thus proving one’s respect. They believed that spirits lived in the branches of trees, the location of which determined the harvest and fertility.

The first toys So, the first Christmas tree decorations were exclusively edible. These included apples, potatoes, eggs, nuts, waffles, gingerbread, figured sugar and candy. This is no coincidence. All edible decorations meant something.

The history of the appearance of the New Year's ball According to legend, there was once a lean year, and there were few apples. Then glassblowers from the town of Lauscha in Thuringia in 1848 proposed a temporary replacement for this fruit. There the first glass balls were made from transparent and colored glass. They immediately won hearts, so that very soon their production became a massive and profitable business. A decree was issued on the use of silver balls from Lausha as Christmas decorations.

New Year in Russia In Russia, the custom of celebrating the New Year on the night from December 31 to January 1 was introduced by Peter I, and he also ordered that the spruce become the symbol of the New Year.

Variety of New Year's toys

Museum of Christmas Tree Decorations On September 18, 2008, the unique, only in Russia Museum of Christmas Tree Decorations - “Klinskoe Compound” - opened! "Klin Compound" is a museum of Christmas tree decorations in the town of Klin near Moscow. This museum is young and so far the only one in Russia. The museum is located in a nice modern mansion.

Have you ever seen such Christmas trees?

Conclusion Having studied the literature on this issue, I came to the conclusion that initially New Year's toys were not the same as they are now. During the research, I studied the history of the emergence of the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree and the process of making Christmas tree decorations. All the tasks I set were completed.
