Well, darling, when Tsar Peter I decided to shake things up and switch the start of the new year to January 1, and adopted the Julian calendar, the Russian year 7027 magically transformed into 1700. So, there you have it, a little history lesson served with a side of sass.

The month of January was added to the calendar by the Roman king Numa Pompilius around 713 BC as part of his reform of the Roman calendar.

Russians celebrate the October revolution?

At the time of the revolution, the Russian Empire still was using the ancient Julian calendar, which had been discarded some 150 years earlier by most Western countries. The result was that each day in Russia was dated 13 days earlier than the same day in the West. According to the old calendar, the date of the Bolshevik revolution was October 25. But according to the new Gregorian calendar, the date actually was November 7. Only after the Bolsheviks established the Soviet Union did the country adopt the new calendar. So it was the Bolsheviks themselves who were responsible for changing the date of their October Revolution of October 25 to the national celebration November 7.
