No we don't have Halloween in Russia. But at schools and at universities where English is learned they usually have some plays staged related to the holiday.

If that's what you mean, then no, it's not an "official" holiday here, but just an optional celebration. We have a holiday lunch at work and people dress up and make their creepiest desserts, like cat litter cake. or dirt cake. lol My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
