The Death Pillar annual event, Neglinka

January, 19th is the Russian Orthodox celebration of the Baptism of good old Jesus. While the general public from the lad’s fan club jumps in ice-holes on the surface, the urban explorers submerge in sacred drain waters.

This year January was hot as hell – the temperature that day was near zero C instead of expected -15C or so.
Having around a 100 spectators, only the bravest participated. Just look at this croud:
