Moscow has experienced the coldest night in 125 years, and more than 60 people have been frostbitten so far.

　　[Global Times special correspondent in Russia Wang Jiabo Liu Yupeng Hou Tao] "Winter is coming" is a classic line in the hit American TV series Game of Thrones. Before the arrival of the "three or nine days" that China people often say, the residents of continental Europe felt the severe cold in advance.

　　According to the Associated Press reported on the 8th, on the 7th, heavy snow and low temperature continued to sweep across the European continent, resulting in many deaths in European countries. Heavy snow and strong winds also caused flight diversions, ferry delays, train cancellations and road closures. Some Greek islands, which are famous for their sunny and warm weather, are also covered with snow. In recent days, at least 10 people in Poland have died of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by cold wave and heater failure. Villagers on the Bulgarian border found the bodies of refugees frozen to death. The sudden drop in temperature also killed many homeless people in Italy. Ansa said that some schools in southern Italy were closed on the 9 th because the cold wave showed no signs of abating.

　　On Christmas Eve of Orthodox Church on the 7th, many places in Russia experienced the coldest day since 1891. The temperature in Moscow State dropped to MINUS 36 degrees Celsius, at Tchaikovsky’s former residence — — In Klin, located in the northwest of Moscow, the temperature reached-36.2 degrees on the night of the 7th to 8th. Russia’s "Life Network" reported on the 8th that more than 60 people have been frostbitten in Moscow due to extremely cold weather. A power outage and interruption of heating supply occurred in the Lü berqi region of Moscow State on the 7th, which once affected the lives of 100,000 residents. In the early morning of the 8 th, the roof of a four-story residential building in Izhevsk was collapsed by snow. Fortunately, no casualties were caused.

　　The Global Times reporter found that since the local temperature dropped sharply on the 6th, Moscow people started the "cat winter" mode, and people tried to stay indoors. Sergei, who grew up in Moscow, is no stranger to the cold weather. "When I was a child, I often encountered such cold weather, but in recent years, the winter has become warmer and warmer, and suddenly there is a low temperature of MINUS 30 degrees, which makes people somewhat unprepared." What kind of experience is MINUS 36 degrees? Sergey said half jokingly, even dogs don’t want to go out. "Walking on an empty street, you can really feel Napoleon’s mood when he retreated from Moscow — — Yan Han in Moscow can defeat the enemy without fighting. "

　　Because it coincides with the Russian New Year holiday, the extremely cold weather has not had much impact on the daily life of Moscow people. People just have to temporarily give up all kinds of entertainment activities and shopping trips during the festival and hide in a warm home to watch the sunny scenery outside the window. The "Christmas Parade" held in Moscow was also cancelled. At the same time, rescuers set up cold shelters in churches and other places in the city to provide hot tea and food to the public free of charge.
