Six nations - Azerbaijan, Greece, Italy, Romania, Russia and Turkey - have made bids to be the sole host for the tournament. In addition, Croatia and Hungary have joined forces to produce a joint bid, as have Poland and Ukraine.

Russia is a very large place.  I'd care to wager Siberia is not as hot as Portugal in mid July.

The south of Russia gets very very hot during the summer, believe a lot of Ruskies go down south for their summer breaks.  Moscow gets pretty hot too I think.
