Orthopedic bed: russian oven.

It's so cold this week, today is even colder. This kind of weather is perfect to climb up on Russian Oven / Русская печь and sleep.

In addition to warming the house, during the winter time people may sleep atop the oven to keep warm. The oven is also used for cooking, for example, to bake pancakes or pies. The Russian oven was a major element of Russian life and consequently it often appears in folklore, and in particular in Russian fairy tales.
