December 21st is the day (in the Northern Hemisphere) when the sun shows itself for the shortest time all year. In Moscow today, the sun was out for exactly 7 hours, roughly between 9am and 4pm. The bright side, so to speak, is that from here on out the days get longer, although they will get colder as well - after all, December 21st is also known as the first day of winter (though not as much so in Russia as in the US).

That's why Stalin was born on the 21st of December! The darkest day...
Although I know quite nice people sharing this birthday with him.
