In Moscow, residents are enjoying the start of a breezy summer with increasingly warm temperatures and picnics in the park. Nearly 2,900 kilometers northwest, residents of Norilsk — an industrial city above the Arctic Circle — are not quite as lucky. However, they're not letting the lack of warm temperatures stop them from some serious summer vibes.
Here's a look at how Norilsk spends the summer months:
Summer calls for shashlik, obviously.
Outdoor activity abounds wherever you may be.
A casual stroll through the park on a warm summer's day.
Rolling out a white carpet for sunshine days and summer vibes.
Dance like it's minus 6 degrees outside.
"Be there soon, just stuck in some traffic."
BYO Sun.
Oh look, summer's here.
Gotta love the colors of the season!
Looks like Frosty has seen better days, however.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
