They have a birthday party either on their birthday or on the weekend. They might be served a birthday cake or a pie with the birthday greeting pricked onto the crust. The first piece of birthday cake or pie is given to the birthday child not to the guests.

Children play a game that features a clothesline. What they do is prizes are hung from it and each guest cuts down a prize to take home.

Russian is the official language of Russia.

If you're Russian, you may receive a birthday pie with a birthday greeting carved into the crust, instead of a cake!
