Photos of What Real Winter Looks Like in Soviet Russia
Whenever winter hits, it feels tougher than the last. It's time to change the kinds of clothes we wear and look for the bed covers we stored a year ago. But we also know that it could always be a lot worse. We're not in Soviet Russia, so we're probably gonna be fine as long as we take care of ourselves.
The amount of snow that falls in Russia is on a different level, and while people think they know what they're talking about, you really have to see it to believe it. So, here are some photos of what real winter looks like in Soviet Russia.
