Key messages

• According to a fan, "Kolotki are so good, they must be hidden, sometimes in car trunks, until Christmas Eve, when they are served on silver plates decorated with holly sprigs. The Kolatki often supplants gifts under the tree as the most anticipated event of Christmas. No fair stealing a plate and eating them secretly in a dark closet."
