Significant parts of Siberia regularly reach -40 in winter, temperatures which can cause frostbite in just minutes.

Prior to the invention of central heating, how were homes designed to deal with this? Where were toilets located? What kept them warm enough to avoid frostbite? What did Siberians wear?
