Everything is fine at the banya

Banya #4 is the oldest bathhouse in Odesa. It’s like a second home to the men who come here, many of whom have been regulars since the Soviet days. At the banya, everyone is equal. Street sweepers rub shoulders with oligarchs and politicians. They chat, sweat, beat each other with leaves, drink vodka at the bar and then start all over again.
