Finally in Russia, two dailies report on the growing popularity of
Halloween despite the authorities' efforts to discourage the
celebration of the festival.

According to *Nezavisimaya Gazeta*, in 2003 the Moscow city
administration even banned the festival from schools following
complaints from parents who felt that Halloween was harmful to the
spiritual and moral health of their children.

But *Novyye Izvestiya* reports that the sale of the traditional
attributes of the festival - pumpkins and horror movies - is again on
the rise in the capital.

"Already by noon on 31 October it was impossible to buy a single
pumpkin at the Preobrazhenskiy market. Traders said these vegetables,
which had been supplied in large numbers, were snapped up like hot
cakes."
