Haha, just joking, Welcome to Canada!
He came to get away from the COLD! I worked with a guy from Russia who used to walk between buildings in Winter in his shirtsleeves. He used to laugh at us.

Heh, Moscow's monthly average low during their coldest month is -11c, Winnipeg's (province's Capitol) is -23c. Moscow's record low is -42.2c, Winnipeg is - 47.8c. We know cold...
Fortunately, it could be -40c outside but the skies will be clear and it will be sunny.
-11???? What the heck is everyone complaining about???? We regularly drop below -20 here in the winter, and -30 to -40 isn't unheard of. I nearly lost my fingers working at a full service gas station on a backshift once when I was young LOL.

I believe smuggling is not the only way to get rough out of Russia. A wise man once told me, "In Russia, everything is forbidden, but nothing is impossible."
