Summer is the warmest time of the year in any country. There are many places in Russia that have no month averaging above 10C let alone 15C so that guideline seems very suspect.

There are many such places in Russia because it is an enormous country. But very few Russians live there. With a few exceptions (such as Murmansk and Norilsk) all Russian cities have decently warm summers. Even Yakutsk has 2 months with average temps > 15C.
And summers are basically non-existent. I've read that a Russian (and Russia is not a warm country) guideline of how they define summers is if average monthly temperature is above 15C (59F). In Sodankylä, not one month averages higher than 59F.
The summers here are a lot warmer than Juneau and Anchorage, but very similar to San Francisco's coolest months. I wouldn't say that this place has no summer. There is no international standard guideline to define winter, since we all know that winter varies from place to place, and everyone perceives the cold differently. for instance, many people in this forum and elsewhere consider temps below 60F as extremely deadly cold winter. To be fair, there shouldn't be any guidelines to define summer either, it just doesn't make sense to have one. Seasons are in the mind of the beholders, the same way beauty is.

Yes, I have nothing better to do than make things up lol. About guidelines, you should really take it up with Russian climatologists, not me. I'm just the messenger - don't shoot me .
BTW not everything is about people's perceptions of things. Sometimes, for example, people want to know how practical are certain economic activities in a given place, like agriculture. Knowing how long the growing season is, or whether the infrastructure will be able to satisfy the demands of the heat season, etc is kind of important, too.
No joy here for a temperate lover.
Polar and hot equatorial climates get a mandatory F, although the latter are worse.
Notice there are no C's here, this is a polarizing climate, excuse the pun.
Winters are a little bit colder then ideal, but snow is probably more reliable and greater in depth then Wasilla. So maybe.
