>but it is also very beautiful, and filled with adventure for the 
>hearty of soul.  However, this winter has been brutal, with the 
>coldest temperatures in 50 years, to -50 Celsius.  We count it a 
>great privilege to live and work here and have developed a real 
>love for Russian people as well as their rich history, literature, 
>and culture.
