This was such a fascinating read! I grew up in the post-Soviet space and sanatoriums were still very much “a thing” back then. I’ve never stayed in one as an adult though — your description makes me both nostalgic and a little amused (oxygen cocktail! microclyster😂). Love how you captured the mix of history and spa-culture revival.
Thanks for your kind words, Valeria! 🤗 The friend I was traveling with, Larisa, grew up in Russia and she too was feeling all kinds of nostalgia. She's thinking of sending her parents to one as a gift.
