Decorations are appearing in Russia to mark the festive season.

The installations mark Russia's festive season which kicks off with New Year.

Unlike in the West, Christmas falls on 7 January in Russia.

The later date has not deterred this Santa Claus from decorating a tree in Krasnoyarsk.

Artists outside the Kremlin in Moscow also got into the spirit of the season.

Curious crowds gathered to watch the dancers on the central Manezhnaya square.

A tunnel of festive lights also drew onlookers in Moscow.
