In January 1977, my area in Virginia USA spent about 2.5 weeks with incredible cold: nighttime lows were -18 to -20F, and daytime HIGHS were only -5F. Normally, we don't even go below 0F for a low temperature. I'd thought that was nearly unbearable outdoors, but we still had heat, electricity, and water indoors. I can't imagine how Russians survived the brutal cold that you described so vividly with no resources unless they had gas stoves for a bit of heat. My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones during that awful winter. And God bless that wonderful woman who opened her building to the cats and dogs who otherwise would have frozen to death. Thank you for such an informative video!
