Halloween in Russia and Ukraine

Halloween in Russia and Ukraine: 10/28/2008
In Russia and Ukraine, Halloween remains no more than one of the fashionable
holidays adopted from the West. However, as Russia and Ukraine have no similar
festival of its own, it grows in popularity every year, especially
among young people, as a great occasion to dress in spooky costumes
and go partying all night. Some would even walk the streets in strange
attire and try to scare passersby.

As trick-or-treating is not common in Russia and Ukraine (children go asking for
sweets at Christmas time instead) finding a good quality spooky
costume will cost a lot of effort and time. There are still no
specialized Halloween costumes shops in Russia and Ukraine, but people have a lot
of creative ideas as for preparing for this holiday.
