[Anon is talking about one of Russia’s character songs]

There’s plenty of strips that reveal how miserable and
lonely winter makes Russia. A recurring theme with him is that he either wishes
or dreams to be in a place with warmer weather (I think this is a reference to the
early days of Russia, where he likely personified the Kievan Rus, a region with
a far milder climate).

But, if I had to guess, this strip bears the strongest
connection. A dark theme running throughout the song involves Russia crossing
through a snowstorm in search for signs of life.

Just let that sink in. If Russia’s happy that he survived
the winter, doesn’t that imply that he’s frozen to death before?
