Admirals and socialites, literary characters from the city's historical past and, of course, many beautiful ladies in fashionable dresses of the 18th century - this is how the designers presented the New Year tree of the city on the Neva.

 There are a lot of porcelain dolls handmade by the St. Petersburg folk art craft.
