The boldest secretly decorated Christmas fluffy beauty. But it was very dangerous. On denunciation for such act it was possible to go to camps.
The return of the Christmas tree took place in 1935 after the publication in the Central newspaper that in the holiday tree, in General, there is nothing wrong. Back and the star, however, made it a six-pointed five-pointed.
