Maybe the fall of Communism wasn't such a good idea for them after all. Before they had all this "freedom" they didn't do this shit, did they? Or is this a remnant of "entertainment from the old regime?" This bit of the river doesn't run near Lubyanka, does it?

Haven't you ever been in really cold water jag? The more you move, the more fresh (i.e. cold) water you have touching your skin. If you sit very, very still, you warm up the water around you ever-so-slightly.

Translations
