Subscribe
New Year celebrations are always associated with hope for a new and better life. The world's eight billion people began ushering in 2023 and bidding farewell to a turbulent 12 months marked by conflict in Europe, stinging price rises, Lionel Messi's World Cup glory and the deaths of Queen Elizabeth, Pele and former Pope Benedict.
The march of time cannot be stopped, so 2023 - the year of the water rabbit - has come, bringing new hopes and expectations. See how people welcomed it in Sputnik's photo gallery.
