Christmas In The Soviet Union Was Weird

Christmas is the most magical time of the year. But when the Soviet Union was one of two global superpowers, Christmas was basically non-existent for millions of people. Instead of Santa clause, there is Ded Moroz - and instead of reindeer he has rocket fuel. In this video we explore the weird world of Soviet Christmas - from the 1930s until now!

The Soviets (or Russians, whatever) have strange ways of dealing with Ded Moroz but it can't be denied that they made amazing cartoons and stop-motion animation about him

Merry Christmas, Eskify! Thank you for your weird Christmas videos, your epic sense of humour and for the years of entertainment that I have had from your channel.

In post WW2 Japan some confused Tokyo department store had a display with smiling Santa Clause nailed to a cross. At least they were trying . . .

Merry Christmas!
Something about all the old timey cartoons in your videos is really nostalgic even though I've never seen them before.

I'm sorry all I tool from this video was cocaine in Florida, I'm dying 😂😂🤣

Your videos are a true work of art. The way you use the lack of context and dead pan delivery is truly riveting.

In Ceaușescu's Romania, we had Moș Gerilă (Santa Knock-off)

Now Soviet Santa is just Putin promising you an iPhone if you join the army.
