Anastasiia Gerasimova on the Russian banya
Listen now
Description
I'm joined by architect, designer and researcher Anastasiia Gerasimova to discuss the Russian banya, or bathhouse. Tune in to discover its fascinating history, and learn why it holds a social and cultural significance far beyond that of a simple steam room.

I couldn't have written this episode without Ethan Pollock's brilliant "Without the Banya We Would Perish: A History of the Russian Bathhouse", which you can learn about here: https://oxford.universitypressscholarship.com/view/10.1093/oso/9780195395488.001.0001/oso-9780195395488
