  Weather in Russia and other CIS countries
To be completely honest, however, Russia does happen to be a host to the coldest regions on Earth, which is probably why it won the reputation for being such a cold country.
In the already mentioned Verkhoyansk, for example, July temperatures reach 37° C (98° F), which makes its absolute temperature range 105° C (188° F).
And that is the greatest temperature range in the world.

There are, it is true, mountain ranges which are formed of folded beds; but in many cases the direction of the chains is different from that of the folds, so that the ranges must owe their elevation to other causes; and the folds, moreover, are of ancient date, for the most part Archaean or Palaeozoic.
Of all the Asiatic ranges the Himalayan is, geologically, the best known; and the evidence which it affords shows clearly that the folds to which it owes its elevation were produced by an overthrust from the north.
It is to the greatly reduced fall of snow on the northern faces of the highest ranges of the Himalaya that is to be attributed the higher level of the snow-line, a phenomenon which was long a cause of discussion.

 The Coldest Town: Life in Siberia's Pole of Cold - Bryan Alexander
Verkhoyansk, situated on the bank of the Yana River in the Russian republic of Yakutia, has the distinction of being the coldest place in the Northern Hemisphere.
Though Verkhoyansk competes with another town in Yakutia, Oimyakon, for the dubious privilege of being the coldest town in the world, most climatologists agree that Verkhoyansk is the winner.
The reason Verkhoyansk gets so much colder than the North Pole is that it lies in the middle of a very large landmass, which cools much more efficiently than does the Arctic Ocean.

 DEFINING THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF THE SIBERIAN CRATON FROM STRUCTURAL AND SEDIMENTOLOGICAL STUDIES OF THE VERKHOYANSK ...
The Verkhoyansk Range and the thrust-and-fold belt of the same name is located to the east of the Siberian craton.
Small-scale potential field studies suggest that the entire Verkhoyansk Range is underlain by continental crust that forms the eastward continuation of the Siberian craton basement.
Two interpretations are possible: (1) a significant part of the Verkhoyansk Range is underlain by oceanic-like crust, or (2) the Verkhoyansk Range is underlain by different continental blocks, in part, probably, of non-Siberian origin.
