His name is Andrei. He is the director of sports center in the settlement of Tomtor in the valley of Oymyakon. In winter with its usual extremely cold weather, he likes running from home to his work place in the early morning and… swimming in the Kujdusun brook, that gets never frozen even under -50 degrees Centigrade.
