Last night we accidentally opened a window and forgot to close it before going to sleep, so we woke up freezing. As we were yakking about the cold, i told my wife Russian peasants used ovens called PECHKA as beds. She has never heard of that, and i promised to show her the pictures. So i dug out these pics on the net, and decided to share it with yo folks:
