First Snow in Moscow and St. Petersburg

Here's a look at how residents of Russia's biggest cities reacted to the first frost!

The day has come at last. 

Kitty is not ready for this. 

This pup doesn't look particularly pleased, either. 

We can't quite believe it. 

Unlike his creator, this snowman looks like he's dressed for the tropics. 

You know it's a Russian winter when your balcony is colder than your freezer. 

… we have a small favor to ask.

As you may have heard, The Moscow Times, an independent news source for over 30 years, has been unjustly branded as a "foreign agent" by the Russian government. This blatant attempt to silence our voice is a direct assault on the integrity of journalism and the values we hold dear.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. Our commitment to providing accurate and unbiased reporting on Russia remains unshaken. But we need your help to continue our critical mission.

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 you can be confident that you're making a significant impact every month by supporting open, independent journalism. Thank you.
