In the 20th and 21st centuries, the Old New Year falls on January 14 in the Gregorian calendar Although the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic officially adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1918, the Russian Orthodox Church continued to use the Julian calendar.

Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the
United States, serving from 1969 to 1974, when he became the only president to
resign the office. Nixon had previously served as a Republican U.S. Representative
and Senator from California and as the 36th Vice President of the United States
from 1953 to 1961. Nixon
was born in Yorba Linda, California. He graduated from Whittier College in 1934
and Duke University School of Law in 1937, returning to California to practice
law. He and his wife, Pat Nixon, moved to Washington to work for the federal
government in 1942. He subsequently served in the United States Navy during World
War II. Nixon was elected in California to the House of Representatives in 1946
and to the Senate in 1950. His pursuit of the Alger Hiss case established his
reputation as a leading anti-communist, and elevated him to national
prominence. He was the running mate of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican
Party presidential nominee in the 1952 election. Nixon served for eight years
as vice president. He waged an unsuccessful presidential campaign in 1960,
narrowly losing to John F. Kennedy, and lost a race for Governor of California
in 1962. In 1968, he ran again for the presidency and was elected.Example:
