Tatiana's tips, Russia expert
Tatiana's tips, Russia expert

Russia's continental climate is characterised by short, warm summers and cold winters that lengthen as one travels east or to the north. In February, for example, if it is -8°C in St. Petersburg, it will be -27°C in western Siberia and as low as -43°C in Yakutsk in eastern Siberia. To visit the largest country on the planet, the period from June to September is ideal. It is better to avoid the spring for a trip to Russia because the slush generated by the melting snow makes it difficult to move around
