Summertime in Russia? Now We’ve Seen It All!

Let’s play a game: can you spot the shocking detail in the image? Here’s a clue: this photograph was taken at a Russian beach. If your answer is “there’s a huge UB-40 submarine right there,” you’ve answered incorrectly. On a Russian beach, seeing a sub is not as shocking as seeing the sun…

We’re joking, of course: even though Russia is described as a two-season country, it does have summertime, and some places can get legitimately warm, with the highest recorded temperature sitting at an impressive 113.7ºF! With that kind of summery breeze, it’s no wonder even the wartime-submarine lads decided to spend the afternoon at the beach.
