For those who have not lived in Moscow (or Russia in general) there are a lot of Russians who hate the cold and are not accustomed to it. The issue is not climate but how the heat their homes/businesses, being an ex-communist nation they all have central heating which keeps the inside (anywhere you go) around the high 20’s not the 19-23 we do in Canada. This forced their bodies to not be adjusted to generating body heat by themselves and they hate the outside in the winter. I for example cant stand the winters in Moscow for the same this reason, I am way to hot inside and can’t take enough layers off to get comfortable (well socially acceptable anyway) and I have been here for 5 years.
