The Frost students learn the art of make-up, stage performance, and understand a little of the magic of fairytale. \u003cbr/\u003ePushkin says he wants to ensure that the children at his kindergarten - and elsewhere - still believe in the magic. \u003cbr/\u003eBeing Father Frost is more than just a day job says Pushkin.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The reason (I am here) is that I work in a kindergarten. There are female staff and am the only man, so, who else can be the Father Frost? I have been an amateur Father Frost for eight years. And now I want to become more professional so the children believe in the Father Frost more - and they will after I get my training.\" \u003cbr/\u003eMany of the students are kindergarten teachers, and they all believe in the magic of Father Frost. Their task is to ensure that the children still believe in Father Frost too. \u003cbr/\u003e22-year-old Anastasiya Kubareva has been a Snow Maiden several times, and she's well versed in applying maiden's make-up. She's here to learn the magic of fairytales. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I want to learn magic to know how to work with children, especially, with little ones, how to speak with them using some kind of magic, fairy language which one doesn't use speaking to adults. And at this school, we learn this magic.\" \u003cbr/\u003eThe Father Frost School was established to help wannabe Father Frosts become professional. \u003cbr/\u003eFather Frost School principal, Alexander Frolov says anyone can become a Father Frost. \u003cbr/\u003eHe says students must have a desire and a patience to learn Frost's magic. \u003cbr/\u003eHe laments that many children in Russia do not know about Father Frost, and other Russian fairytales. Frolov wants to re-establish Russian fairytales for a new generation. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We wanted to reintroduce the magic of the Father Frost fairytale, and establish New Year as the most exciting holiday, and of course the most important magician is the Father Frost. So we decided to create the Father Frost School where one can learn the art of magic.\" \u003cbr/\u003eFrolov says students from the Father Frost School are unrecognisable after the training course. Children will believe in the magic of fairy tales, and won't realise their teacher is dressing up, he says. \u003cbr/\u003eAn important part of the course is the singing and dancing, and on stage performing. \u003cbr/\u003eSome students are natural performers - and for others - the experience is less than magical. \u003cbr/\u003e25-year-old teacher, Sergey Krysanov says playing an old man is very difficult. \u003cbr/\u003e\"The most difficult thing is to change your identity and imagine yourself as a wise old man. Because there are certain preconceptions about Father Frost: a big beard, a certain age, status - and you have to meet it.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAnd while Moscovites prepare for their biggest holiday on New Year, for Father Frost and his helpers, the work is just beginning. \u003cbr/\u003eIn several days, the Father Frost students will be up for examination. A panel of children will judge their magical abilities. \u003cbr/\u003eThose who pass the Frosty exam will receive a Diploma from the school. The graduates can then begin their new careers as a professional Father Frost or Snow Maiden. \u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
