Russian bath

By a Russian bath I mean a public place and not a bath at home.

It is a place where Russian people can have sensual pleasure. It is also a place where they can sit,sweat, drink beer and speak about politics.

A Russian sweating-room is a place where they sweat and they are also beaten with switch of green birch twigs.

When a visitor of such a place loses consciousness, they pour out a bucket of water on him.

After sweating-room they go to a cooler place, where they have a rest.
Russian men and women take bath separately in such places.

In villages men also like to come out naked after the bath and to bathe in an ice-hole.

They say a Russian bath is very good for health.
