Weather that is not too extreme.
خلفية ثقافية
Sochi and the southern coast of Crimea are the 'gold standard' for mild climates in the Russian-speaking world. For many Russians, these places represent the ultimate escape from the 'grey' reality of northern cities. In Siberia, 'мягкий климат' is often used as a joke or a dream. People there value the 'мягкая зима' (mild winter) when it's only -10°C instead of -40°C. Russians often associate the Mediterranean (Italy, Greece, Spain) exclusively with this phrase. It is the primary reason for the popularity of these countries as tourist destinations. In the Soviet era, 'climatotherapy' was a real medical field. Sanatoriums were built in regions with a 'мягкий климат' to treat everything from tuberculosis to stress.
