19 January the Feast of the Baptism of Jesus / Epiphany ice hole.
In Russian Orthodoxy this feast has also become part of the cultural tradition and folk fun, because of the Russian climate. Diving into Epiphany ice hole is not an ecclesiastical rite, but priests bless this practice.
The main reason for Russian people to do it is to temper their character. Perhaps that's what makes these people so steadfast and fearless.
And hence the folk saying: "Russians never give up".

‘‘THE EYE OF THE MUSTANG’ OR ‘THE EYE OF SHORIA’ ROCK PILLAR, SHEREGESH, KEMEROVO REGION
This is a huge stone arch on the top of the mountain with beautiful vistas around it. From this natural window, you can admire a splendid view for a hundred kilometers around.
You can get there by walking up the Utuya mountain. There is no mechanical assistance, so you have to walk about 10 km and reach an altitude of about 600 meters, while enjoying the beauty of the taiga. Snow caps the tops of the Sheregesh mountains until the end of April, so you'll need snowshoes to walk there.

Today, on 19 January (6 January according to the Julian calendar), the Orthodox Church celebrates the Feast of the Baptism of Jesus.
The baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist is a major event in the life of Jesus which is described in three synoptic Gospels of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark and Luke). It is considered to have taken place at Al-Maghtas (also called Bethany Beyond the Jordan), today located in Jordan.
In Russian Orthodoxy this feast has also become part of the cultural tradition and folk fun, because of the Russian climate. Diving into an ice hole is not an ecclesiastical rite, but priests bless this practice.
The main reason for Russian people to do it is to temper their character. Russians have been tempering their character in ice holes for more than 1000 years from the date of the Baptism of Kievan Rus in 998! Perhaps that's what makes these people so steadfast and fearless.
And hence the folk saying: "Russians never give up".

GAMSUTL, DAGESTAN
A village in Dagestan. It is located on the Tsamtichay river, almost one and a half thousand meters above sea level. In the past the village was quite populated and had a very developed infrastructure: in the last century there were stores, a small hospital and a maternity ward.
About four decades ago, the inhabitants of Gamsutl village began to gradually leave the village for larger and less inaccessible settlements. Subsequently, the village became deserted, with the last inhabitant passing away in 2015.
