Sleeping in the mal'tsia. 2019. Courtesy of Denis Kukanov. Explanatory note: If it comes to sleeping out in the snow as the grouse does, the mal'tsia is turned into a kind of module, a cocoon, or a tightly closed sleeping bag. To do this, the native takes off his belt, bends his knees a bit, pulls them together and “girds” his legs right under them. Then he pulls his head inside the mal'tsia and uses the hood to shut off the neck hole as if with a plug, pulls his arms into the mal'tsia through the wide armholes, “hugs” himself and falls down on his side right into the snow.
