The meanings that have formed around the banya over its thousand-year history make it a unique prism through which to understand the effects of broad social, economic, and political changes on the everyday lives of Russians and to understand how Russians have seemed at times barbaric and at times enlightened to outsiders. Sources ranging from the earliest recorded Russian chronicles to recent feature films, from municipal codes to highbrow Russian literature, illustrate the ways in which the banya, whether in Russia, in the Russian diaspora, or in the imagination of outsiders, has been a place to get clean and a space for intrigue, intimacy, violence, and sex. 000892397 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on July 9, 2019). 000892397 650_0 $$aBathing customs$$zRussia$$xHistory. 000892397 650_0 $$aBathing customs$$zSoviet Union$$xHistory. 000892397 650_0 $$aBathing customs$$zRussia (Federation)$$xHistory. 000892397 650_0 $$aBathhouses$$zRussia$$xHistory. 000892397 650_0 $$aBathhouses$$zSoviet Union$$xHistory. 000892397 650_0 $$aBathhouses$$zRussia (Federation)$$xHistory. 000892397 650_0 $$aBaths, Russian. 000892397 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9780195395488 000892397 830_0 $$aOxford scholarship online. 000892397 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000892397 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780195395488.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000892397 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:892397$$pGLOBAL_SET 000892397 980__ $$aEBOOK 000892397 980__ $$aBIB 000892397 982__ $$aEbook 000892397 983__ $$aOnline
