Siberian ice cream beats crisis

Glad that I am not the only weird one, I love eating ice cream in the winter time :borat:

I came here to find people counting the losses in the wake of the financial crisis. Instead, I found a strong business waiting for the crisis to happen and ready to cash in.

But in a region where the temperature at this time of year is commonly minus 25 degrees, this successful firm does not make thick coats or warm hats. It produces ice cream.

In this town alone there are more than 300 kiosks selling ice cream and nothing else.

And they are all profitable. People here like to eat the stuff on the streets, even in winter.
