Sandunovsky baths

You probably know this place, even if you have never been to the capital of Russia: this is where the story began of the incredible history of the cult film “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath”. More precisely, only the shooting took place, but still the typical, recognizable interior of the Soviet public bath was remembered by everyone. In fact, the history of Sandunov, as they are called by the people, began in 1800, when Catherine II, the courtier actor, Sila Sandunov, bought this plot and built the largest public bath in the capital. Since then a lot of frothy water has flowed into sewer pipes, more than one birch broom is broken. But the specialization of the institution has not changed, despite numerous changes of owners. Muscovites and guests of the city come here to wash and socialize along the trodden path - take a look at you too.
