Russian Winter
The term "Russian Winter" refers to the harsh winter season experienced in Russia, characterized by extremely low temperatures, heavy snowfall, and icy conditions. This season typically lasts from late November to early March, with temperatures often dropping below -20°C (-4°F) in many regions. The cold climate significantly impacts daily life, transportation, and agriculture.
Historically, the Russian Winter has played a crucial role in military campaigns, notably during Napoleon's invasion in 1812 and Hitler's attack in 1941. The severe weather conditions contributed to the failures of these invasions, as troops struggled to cope with the extreme cold and logistical challenges.
