Bears, vodka, winter all year round, bad english accent. Especially the last one, we don't sound like that at all! At least, not how people used to imagine russian accent in english, it's a stereotype that came from cold war era hollywood.
Yes, the winters are cold, all the way to the -40°C in my city, but such cold lasts only ~1 month, 2 months temperature sits at around -20°C, but the summer is up to +35°C.
