      January 1, 2026 — Despite the frost and the snow patterns on the ice, the most steadfast and hardened residents of Vyksa gathered on the shore of the ice hole to traditionally plunge into the icy water and welcome the New Year with vigor, adrenaline, and great spirits! View photos Members of the Vyksa Walrus Club are of different ages, but share one common quality: robust health, a love of nature, and the spirit of true winter warriors! With shouts of "Gagarin!", "Cosmonaut!" and "Happy New Year!" they made the sacred plunge into the icy bath, proving that nothing — neither the frost nor the January wind — can stop their pursuit of hardening, energy, and zest for life. After the swim — hot tea, bright smiles, and warm embraces. And most importantly — a feeling of unity and celebration. Health, vigor, and courage to all walruses! May 2026 be as clear, pure, and strong as the ice on the Vyksa pond!
