What national custom is it for a woman to throw cold water on the snow with her child in her arms?

Russians are not afraid of cold, but they have been trained in cold resistance since childhood. We can only use the word "admire" to describe their drought-resistant training.

When children were young, their parents made them stand naked in the snow and then threw cold water on them. After long-term training, Russians have patience with the cold.

The expansion materials will also commemorate the end of the ski season in other parts of Russia, such as Irkutsk Resort near Lake Baikal. Sakhalin Island in the Pacific Ocean attracts hundreds of participants to ski here every year.

Here, skiers usually slide down the hillside wrapped in towels or white sheets, as if they had just come out of the sauna. Many people will bring some birch branches. Russians traditionally beat their skin with birch branches to improve blood circulation.
