Are they harsh? Here I had to see the harsh Russian babies who played on the beach of Northern Dvina, pulling the water with the cockroaches of herself, just opened up from the ice, and delightedly immersing their pins in the icy water. A metre thick piece of ice was lying next to it.

They are not harsh. Here we are far in the Northeast (not yet in Chukotka, but not very far from it)... Starting with the fact that the sunshine season began long before the snow fell, somewhere in April. The frost is still light, but it bakes in the sun if there is no wind. The entire ski costume is the skies themselves with shoes and - maximum, swimsuits. And in the rivers swam in the summer, the water is ice, often nearby and never since the winter. We had such a harsh childhood.
