Russia Experiences Hottest January in Recorded History

Over 70 Russian cities experienced the hottest January in recorded history this year.

For the first time, the average monthly temperature was above freezing in Moscow and St. Petersburg — where temperatures were 9.4 degrees higher than normal.

Russia’s Environment Ministry has warned that temperatures in Russia are rising at a faster rate than the rest of the world because of climate change, which will lead to catastrophic consequences if left unchecked.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
