It seems that the previous cr psak was to follow orthodox minhag of nittel by Julian calendar as the nittel minhag started there. But I think lately Ukraine decided to decamp from their murderous brothers and join their western cousins under gregorian calendar. So, it may not make sensany more for us to follow old minhag. Not many Yidden lived under Russia proper, and now rov of the pale is under gregorian celebrations. Unless you are lubavich or belorussian litvish.
