More pics of winter in Ukraine. One might think that it's freezing inside this rural house, but, actually, it is not. All these houses necessarily have a "pich," a fireplace where the flames go up into the space surrounded by walls made of brick. If you keep the wood (especially large logs) burning in the "pich" for a few hours (say, from late afternoon till 9-10 p.m.), the bricks became so hot that they do not cool down till 6 a.m. or so. And if the "pich" is made right, there is no smell of smoke in the room.
