 | | Uralsk is in the north west corner of Kazakhstan, not far from the Russian border. |
 | | Stand on the frozen river, strip to your underwear or bathing suit like 1000's of other Uralsk residents, jump in the river, dunk yourself three times, get out, drink some vodka, eat a pickle, and get rid of your sins and earn a year of good health. |
 | | Uralsk, although lying wholly to the south of 52 N, has the same average temperature as Moscow and south Finland 39.5 N; its January is colder than that of northern Finland 30 N while July averages 73." |
