"Trains don't even pause in Svishchevo, so locals like Vladimir Maltsev rely on horse-drawn sleighs to get around. Far from the ocean's climate-moderating effects, this tiny central Siberian village receives snowfalls so deep that even Vladimir's horse Vanya—a sturdy beast—gets mired in the drifts."
—From "Russia's Iron Road," June 1998, National Geographic magazine
