Moscow received more than 15 inches of the fluffy stuff in the first few days of the month-- the heaviest recorded snowfall to happen in the Russian capital since 1957 and it has resulted in major problems for the residents of the city.
Unfortunately, some residents have been waiting for weeks for the snow to be cleared by local authorities-- but some people have found a unique solution to the problem. Journalist Mikhail Kozyrev suggested on his Facebook page that people write the name "Navalny" on the snow, which might prompt workers to get rid of the snow more quickly.
Navalny refers to Alexi Navalny, the leader of the opposition party in Russia and an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin. Sure enough, when members of a local community group in the Nagorny district wrote the name in the snow, it was soon cleared away.
Before too long, dozens of coals began reporting that their use of the "Navalny method" was successful-- with snow sometimes being removed just four hours after the name was written.
