Climate-Moscow
Moscow, Russia
Hello, my name is Maya Mikhailovna Plisetskaya
I am born a soviet-born ballet dancer, choreographer, ballet director, and actress. I was born into a prominent family of Lithuanian Jewish descent. My father was arrested and executed during the Stalinist purges in which tens of thousands of people were murdered. However, he was a committed communist and was proclaimed a “national hero” for his work on behalf of the Soviet coal industry. My mother was also arrested and sent to a labor camp. I was born and raised in Moscow, Russia. Throughout my dancing career I starred in the ballet called “The Dying Swan” and this picture was photographed of me.

Moscow is notorious for its long cold winters and humid summers, winter last from November through March with the daily low being 14 degrees Fahrenheit and summer is from June to August with an average of 73 degrees Fahrenheit. During the summer Moscow gets about 280 hours of sunshine per month. During winter it gets really cold and remains chilly. The two coldest months are November and December with the temperature being below 14 degrees. Moscow gets a lot of snowfall during this time and a moderate level of rainfall. The average temperature is about 40 degrees Fahrenheit with rainfall almost everyday. Climate changes dramatically with the seasons. The city experiences continental weather, typified by surprisingly hot and short summers, and extremely cold, long winters. The winter snows begin in October and often last well into spring. Summer, on the other hand, is the most popular time to visit Moscow. The days are very long and the weather is nice and warm. Thunderstorms and heavy rain is common during July and August.

This is a picture of Moscow, Russia and how it looks almost every day. The weather is very gloomy, dark and cold but it still is very beautiful.
The cold winters impact almost everyone who lives in Russia including me. It affects where and how long we live and work, what kinds of crops are grown, and where they are grown. During the periods of darkness and cold, we have an increased demand for energy, health, and textiles. With the extreme winters, we experience six months of snow cover over subsoil that is permanently frozen to depths as far as several hundred meters. With the average temperature in Russia being below freezing makes transportation really hard. Which makes it hard for me to get to practices or performances and if I don’t make it I will get laid off without a second guess. Ballet is a popular notable art form coming out of Russia. Founded in 1776, the Bolshoi Ballet is a classical ballet company based at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow and known throughout the world and that is where I used to perform. Despite her acclaim, Plisetskaya was not treated well by the Bolshoi management. She was Jewish at a time of Soviet anti-Zionist campaigns combined with other oppression of suspected dissidents. Her family had been purged during the Stalinist era and she had a defiant personality. As a result, Plisetskaya was not allowed to tour outside the country for sixteen years after she had become a member of the Bolshoi. Also, the Soviet Unions used the artistry of such dancers as Plisetskaya to project its achievements during the Cold War period with United States.
