A Russian emergency rescue worker dressed as Ded Moroz (Santa Claus, or Father Frost) greets children as he scales the wall of a children hospital to mark the upcoming New Year celebrations, Russia, Friday, December 25, 2020. Russia, which has so far registered more than 2.9 million confirmed cases of the virus and over 52,000 deaths in the pandemic, has been swept by a rapid resurgence of the outbreak this fall, with numbers of infections and deaths significantly exceeding those reported in the spring. Usually, performers come into children's rooms, but this year because of the virus-related restrictions, the artists had to perform outside of the hospital at a significant distance.
