Don’t Come To Moscow This Week

The heat wave in Moscow breaks all temperature records possible. All air conditioners are sold out, the government is taking emergency measures to help farmers amid the worst draught in 130 years, people are drowning while trying to cool off, and the Kremlin guard regiment has been cancelled due to danger of heat exhaustion.
