Russian goons of SA, I've read plenty of times from the history books of people making the mistake of attempting to invade your country during the winter, only to fail as their armies literally freeze to death. And it is also commonly believed that Russian winters are among the most brutal on Earth.

How accurate is this? Is the wintertime as bad as it is commonly made out to be? Is it not as bad? Worse?

OP to get a Russian to answer you need to rephrase your post so that, somehow, the question asks you

You think Russians drink the vodka but no. It's a flammable fuel, keeps your famil alive when the winter is cold, Dead Moroz prowls the streets.

I think it would be way different than living up in the mountains. Like in the plains it’s continuous cold up on you all the time, there’s no dynamic and the air is cold and wet and thick.

North American winters aren't fun either, it's your fault that nobody tried to invade like Alaska or Yukon. Except the whitey I guess.

The whole 'scorched earth' strategy isn't to deny the enemy resources, it's to keep the retreating soldiers' butts from freezing. It's that cold.
