Myths and Reality
1. “No money.”
As for the gross regional income per capita and many other economic indicators Chelyabinsk takes the lead over Ufa, Cheboksary, Khanty-Mansiysk and many other Russian cities in which the problem of waste collection and waste disposal is solved more successfully than in Chelyabinsk.
2. “Our people are not accustomed to sort trash”.
Of course, not accustomed. Nobody teaches them: there is no social advertising, and mass media remains shamefully silent about this subject, and the system of penalties for unsorted garbage collection is not provided.
In Magnitogorsk, for example, has begun an experiment on separate waste collection.
3. “Our people will never keep order and divide garbage onto different containers! They even can not open the cover of a container that is why containers without lids are set!”

Chelyabinsk is surrounded by several lakes. One of them – Smolino lake – is a favorite vacation spot of townpeople at any time of year.
In the middle of the lake there is a floating sauna which is used from early spring to late autumn. You can go out of the sauna and immediately start swimming in the lake.
In winter time sauna is pulled closer to the beach and next to it the big ice-holes are cut. In the Russian sauna (‘banya’) it is normal first to use birch twigs and then jump into the cold water. When the pictures were took, the temperature was -28C, so instead of jumping into the ice-hole we prefered to take cold bucket shower. Wonderful!
Thermal bath with mineral water is situated not far from Tyumen city in Siberia. It is a nice place called Verhnii Bor. Everybody can swim there during all-the-year-round. In cold winter visitors can enjoy by the warm water up to +30C from hot mineral springs. The pictures had been made in January with outdoors temperature -15C degrees. Striking contrast and real pleasure!
