______________________________
Countries around the world start preparations for the Christmas and New Year holidays from late November. The main symbol of the celebration is the decorated tree. Although most people prefer traditional designs, some do extraordinary decorations such as ice-cream cones, Legos, plastic cups, and other uncommon ideas.

______________________________
Communists and workers’ parties launched a worldwide campaign of solidarity with Ukrainian communists. Many parties are making statements condemning the EU/American intervention into Ukrainian internal affairs, and denouncing the rightwing terrorist campaign against the KPU. The KPRF is actively involved in promoting solidarity with the Ukrainian people. Our party was a co-author of a statement on the Ukraine adopted at a meeting of the working group preparing for the International Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties scheduled for the Lebanese capital of Beirut. Currently, we’re collecting signatures on a joint document of protest in support of the Communists of the Ukraine. One of the problems for foreign Communists is a lack of information about the real state of affairs in their languages. Many turn to the KPRF for help. With great attention, many foreign comrades read our statement from the Presidium of the TsK KPRF. The Central Committee also directed their statement to the PACE and to the European Parliament.
