The theme for this year’s Snow Village is old Soviet-era cartoons to commemorate the 80 year anniversary of Soyuz-Multfilm (“Union Cartoons”), the main cartoon maker during the Soviet period. Rooms have been decorated with immages of old familiars such as Winnie-the-Pooh, Gena-the-Crocodile, and Cheburashka, as well as many other characters less familiar to western audience.

The snowvillage also offers cheesecake-sled and banana-sled towered after a snowmobile rides.
