☃️If you ask a foreigner about the weather in Russia, he is likely to say that it is "very, very cold". Visitors to our country try to take warm clothes with them even in summer, because the myth about Russia's harsh climate is the most widespread abroad. Whether it is true or not, we will find it out with Aka-Angi Dafne from Côte d'Ivoire, a student of the residency programme at the St. Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University. Of course, you knew that the climate in Russia is different from what you are used to. How did you prepare for it? Did you renew your wardrobe? I think it's almost impossible to prepare for the weather conditions in Russia, because here it can be hot one day and very cold the next day. My mum bought me everything I needed to feel well in the Russian climate. I had to completely renew my wardrobe. How long did it take you to get used to the weather conditions? Say, to the snow😁 Winter was not new for me, because I'd seen it many times in Europe, so I got used to it quickly. But of course, in Russia -30 and sometimes without snow — it's a completely new experience. What do you think about the Russian summer? Is it as hot in Russia at this time of year as it is in Africa? It is indeed hot in summer, but not as hot as in Africa. In Russia summers are drier and more stuffy. Do not be frightened by Russian frosts, because the people of our country have a very warm soul. Come to visit and see for yourself! #myths
