Hello all.

Does anyone know if Valentine's Day is celebrated in Russia. Is it as big a deal as it is in the US?

Lena, I see that you are online now. Do you know?

Hello Nate...
Yes... Valentine's day is celebrated in Russia and in Belaruss. I do not know how big this holiday is in Russia, but in Belarus even children 6 years old celebrate this holiday.

I was working in a school, so I know this exactly

they prepare for this holiday in advance.
