Due to the ancient tradition, New Year's Eve (in the old style) celebrates on January, 13 in Ukraine, as well as the holiday of Malanka, which precedes the next holiday of the Christmas cycle – St. Vasyl Day. Malanka comes on a generous evening together with Vasyl-Moon to inform the hosts about the next celebrations and to celebrate, which is popularly called – Malanka's “generous Eve”. The Eve of the Old New Year was popularly called generous, or wealthy, which is related to the custom of preparing a plentiful holiday table, where, in contrast to Christmas Eve, there were always modest meals. On the Old New Year itself - January 14, boys go to Ukrainian houses and seed grain for happiness, health, New Year!

Ukrainian folk traditions are also observed and respected at Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs.
