Not for long. Russia is indeed a cold country but the months of extreme cold are only about 2-3 in number a year. Those arriving from tropical climates might face difficulties in dealing with the cold for the first year or so, however, they soon get used to it. In fact, there are a lot of Indian students pursuing their MBBS from Russia. The governmental authorities take adequate measures to ensure the comfort and avoidance of health hazards due to the cold. Thus, all establishments such as universities and colleges, hostels, homes, shops, malls, etc. have central heating facility. Places such as educational institutions have these heating mechanisms controlled by the municipality. There are heating facilities in bathrooms as well as provision for hot water throughout which are also ensured by the municipal bodies. Those who find their room heaters inadequate can also opt to buy water and additional room heaters, none of which are too expensive. Additionally, students must themselves wear proper warm clothes which include sweaters, windcheaters, fur coats, gloves, caps, socks, covered shoes, etc. whenever they head out of their rooms.
