  2. 1) Russia has very sereve winters. It was also very very cold.
    2) They added poatates and corn to thir diet to warm them. It would also give them calories to fight the cold. They also added fur to tradtional clothes. They would dtuff moss inbetween the logs in their log cabins. They used urns to boil their tea.
    3)They have become less significant because the technology has improved with heaters, ovens, insulators, cars, and clothing.

  3. It is cold in Russia. The climate stops them from having fun outdoors.They had to insulate there house really well because it was very cold.

    They added things like corn to there diet for extra calories. They would travel in groups of 3 so they could keep warm.

    I dont think they are as much as a problem now because they have new technolgy to keep them warm.
