How to Survive Russian Winter
Listen now
Description
Temperatures in some cities in Russia dropped to -88F, just as many were getting ready to plunge into the frozen water in remembrance of Jesus' baptism. We decided that this is a good time to discuss how Russians survive winter temperatures in different parts of the country. Vodka plays a part in getting Russians through the winter, but so do other less likely items such as frozen horse liver. Tune in and learn about tricks to get through rough winter or just sit back and enjoy the fact that you are not dealing with below 80F temperatures (unless you live in Oymyakon).
