It's nice that Samara has been constantly mentioned lately ... How is it ... and the Shvets ... and the reaper ... and the igrets ...

They will be disqualified. The Samaritan command cheated. He sent his soldiers naked in the cold, so they were the first to come running.

This is not skiing, snowshoeing. A simple model, but very comfortable. The photo is old. It would be interesting to look at their equipment. The expression "search for the victim of an avalanche" sounds something like "a division of heavy machine guns," maybe the Uyghur district’s press service is working
Congratulations to the Samara. With other Samaritans in 10 days I plan to trample the snow.

Surprised by the result ... we have of course the Zhiguli mountains, but they are old (the highest point is 380 m above sea level )! But even more so, thanks special forces
