There is nothing like ice cream on a hot summer day! RIA Novosti invites its readers to an ice cream factory in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg.

The factory was founded in 1958.

It produces more than 130 types of ice cream.

The factory once produced ice cream with original tomato flavor.

Today it produces more than 8,000 metric tons of ice cream annually.

Stick ice cream is very popular among Russian.

In Russia the ice cream on a stick had become synonymous with the word eskimo — named after the indigenous people of the North.

Ice cream in Russia is sold everywhere from street vendors to restaurants.

Russians eat ice cream all year long.
