Currently, Central Russia isn't seeing the hard frosts, traditional for this period. The temperature at lake Seliger was not lower than 6-7 degrees below freezing. It's not the first time that Vladimir Putin has plunged into the ice-cold water.
Before the dip, the President attended a festive divine service at the Nilov Monastery.
