- Your calendar may say that March 21 marks the beginning of spring — but we all know that in Russia, things take a little longer than that. Now that we are well into April, we finally have photographic evidence that spring has, indeed, sprung in the Russian capital.
- See for yourself:
- Little dots of color are sprouting among the grey.
- You can no longer detect approaching children by the swishing sound of their snow trousers.
- The sun actually deigns to rise more than a few meters above the horizon.
- Instead of being too lazy for the gym, you're now too lazy for a run in the park.
- Fluffy little верба (pussy-willow) twigs everywhere.
- Dogs are no longer forced into full-body winter gear (though they continue giving you reproachful looks.)

- Love is in the air (sweeping away that grumpy feeling you get from being stuck indoors with someone for too long.)

- Sub-zero temperatures are mostly reserved for nights now and you get to enjoy a toasty zero degrees during the day.
