DONBAS

In Peter (the colloquial name of St. Petersburg among the city's residents), the hysteria over the snow continues.

Strange, inexplicable people. Why don't they like the snow, as they say? Here, they like "Crimea - ours", they like "Syria - ours", they like "Donbass - ours", they like all kinds of fighters, anti-aircraft guns, bombs and missiles, and they don't like the snow.
