What gift from Father Frost could the organizers not put under the Wish Tree in the Aika Sports Center?
In 2024, members of the Nornickel mini-football team handed out gifts at the annual Wish Tree in Norilsk. Children wrote their wishes to Father Frost in advance. Traditionally, toys and constructors were the leaders among them. One child asked for a live Scottish Lop-eared kitten. The organizers did not dare to put the pet under the tree and replaced the kitten with another gift.
However, another unusual wish was fulfilled. A boy asked Father Frost for a desk “to study well.” The organizers did not bring the furniture to the holiday and gave the child a certificate to buy it.
Nornickel football team players came to give gifts to children together with their mascot - Polar Bear Nykanor. It is symbolic that the largest sports center built by Nornickel in 2020 also bears the name of an Arctic symbol. Aika was the name of a polar bear that lived in the apartment of Yuri Ledin, a director of the Norilsk TV studio, for about 5 months in the 1970s.
