When did the new Russian calendar go into effect and how did the Russian celebrate?
The new Russian calendar, adopting the Gregorian system, went into effect on February 14, 1918, as a reform to align with the Western calendar. The transition involved skipping 13 days, so February 1, 1918, was followed directly by February 14. Russians celebrated this change with various festivities, including public gatherings and church services, marking the shift with a mix of enthusiasm and skepticism about the new system. The reform was part of broader changes during the Bolshevik Revolution, aiming to modernize and secularize Russian society.

Why does Russia have a double Christmas and when did the second Christmas start?
When Julius Caesar made the Julian (old) Calendar his mathematicians made errors that built up over time (currently 13 days off and growing slowly at 11 minutes a year). Many Russian Orthodox churches use the old calendar putting Christmas on the 6th of January (still the 25th on the old calendar). When Russia adopted the Gregorian (new) Calendar in the October Revolution (October 25th, 1917) some churches followed the old calendar and some followed the new calendar. So Russia doesn't have a double Christmas, just some Russians celebrate Christmas on the 25th and others on the 6th (relative to our current calendar).
