A group of revelers from the world of banking and security celebrate a birthday at the Sandunovskaya Banya bathhouse in a private area with its own steam room. After years of neglect, Russia's most famous 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.
