Russian bath-house - an integral part of national culture of Centuries have passed away, but Russians have not changed the favorite tradition - visiting a bath-house. In days of Peter the Great construction of bath-houses was in every possible way encouraged and duties did not undertake their construction.

The body at orthodox Christians always called as a temple for soul, and soul a temple for spirit, therefore and the maintenance of both temples should be appropriate.
