The New year in many countries is associated with chimney sweeps and good luck. This photo is from a book for the enlightenment of Soviet children in 1926.
This illustrated book confirms the connection of sweeps and luck in the Russian new year tradition as well as the European ones. Of course, the Russian new year doesn't occur until January 13th on the Gregorian calendar. So you can celebrate yet again if you are so inclined.
Wishing you all a fine and joyous year, with lot's of good luck!
