The changing room gets very crowded at weekends at Sandunovskaya Banya. After years of neglect Russia's most famous public bathhouse has been restored to its former splendor. Located close to the Kremlin, the 200-year-old baths used to be popular with Communist Party cadres. Today they are a favorite meeting place for Moscow's nouveau riche.
