With Light Steam: A Personal Journey Through the Russian Baths As I embarked on my journey through post-Soviet Russia in 1996, I never could have imagined the incredible adventure that lay ahead of me. Leaving behind the relative stability of the United States, I found myself in the midst of chaos, but also in the midst of a fascinating culture that would change my life forever. My focus was on reporting on academia and the sciences for the world's leading publications, but little did I know that my true calling would be to explore the rich history and traditions of Russia, specifically through the lens of its bath culture - the most Russian thing there is. On a frosty Sunday morning, I found myself in a gypsy cab, traveling to a bathhouse in Moscow, where the steam was conjured by an out-of-work carpenter named Grisha. He took me under his wing, allowing me to enter an otherwise closed world, and I saw myself and Russia with different eyes. The Russian bathers insisted only half-jokingly that I was a spy, but I was simply a curious observer, eager to learn about this ancient tradition that had been a part of their lives for centuries.
With Light Steam: A Personal Journey Through the Russian Baths Приступая к путешествию по постсоветской России в 1996 году, я никогда не мог представить себе невероятное приключение, которое ждало меня впереди. Оставив позади относительную стабильность США, я оказался в гуще хаоса, но и в гуще увлекательной культуры, которая навсегда изменит мою жизнь. Мое внимание было сосредоточено на репортажах об академических кругах и науках для ведущих мировых изданий, но я мало что знал, что моим истинным призванием будет исследование богатой истории и традиций России, особенно через призму ее банной культуры - самой русской вещи, которая там есть. Морозным воскресным утром я оказался в цыганской кабине, ехавшей в баню в Москве, где пар колдовал вышедший на работу плотник по имени Гриша. Он взял меня под свое крыло, позволив войти в иначе закрытый мир, и я увидел себя и Россию другими глазами. Русские купальщики лишь полушутя настаивали, что я шпион, но я просто любопытный наблюдатель, жаждущий узнать об этой древней традиции, которая была частью их жизни на протяжении веков.
With Light Steam : A Personal Journey Through the Russian Baths En commençant mon voyage dans la Russie post-soviétique en 1996, je n'ai jamais imaginé l'incroyable aventure qui m'attendait. Laissant derrière moi la relative stabilité des États-Unis, je me suis retrouvé dans un gouffre de chaos, mais aussi dans un gouffre de culture fascinante qui va changer ma vie pour toujours. Mon attention a été concentrée sur les reportages sur les milieux universitaires et les sciences pour les principales publications mondiales, mais je ne savais pas beaucoup que ma vraie vocation serait d'explorer la riche histoire et les traditions de la Russie, en particulier à travers le prisme de sa culture de bain - la chose la plus russe qui soit. Dimanche matin, je me suis retrouvé dans une cabine gitane qui allait dans un bain à Moscou, où la vapeur a été causée par un charpentier nommé Grisha. Il m'a pris sous son aile, me laissant entrer dans un monde autrement fermé, et j'ai vu moi-même et la Russie avec d'autres yeux. s baigneurs russes n'ont insisté que sur le fait que je suis un espion, mais je suis juste un observateur curieux, désireux de découvrir cette ancienne tradition qui a fait partie de leur vie pendant des siècles.

With Light Steam: A Personal Journal Through the Russian Baths ao começar a viajar pela Rússia pós-soviética em 1996, nunca imaginei a incrível aventura que me esperava pela frente. Deixando para trás a relativa estabilidade dos Estados Unidos, estive numa situação de caos, mas também numa cultura fascinante que vai mudar a minha vida para sempre.

Na manhã de domingo congelante, acabei em uma cabine cigana que ia para um banho em Moscou, onde um carpinteiro chamado Grisha fez feitiçaria. Ele pegou-me sob a sua ala, deixando-me entrar em outro mundo fechado, e eu vi-me a mim e à Rússia com outros olhos. Os banhistas russos insistiram que eu era um espião, mas sou apenas um observador curioso ansioso para aprender sobre esta antiga tradição que fez parte da vida deles durante séculos.
With Light Steam: A Personal Journey Through the Russian Baths Iniziando a viaggiare nella Russia post-sovietica nel 1996, non avrei mai immaginato l'incredibile avventura che mi aspettava. ciandomi alle spalle la relativa stabilità degli Stati Uniti, mi trovai in una situazione di caos, ma anche in una cultura affascinante che mi cambierà la vita per sempre. La mia attenzione si concentrava sui discorsi accademici e sulle scienze per i più importanti giornali del mondo, ma non sapevo che la mia vera vocazione sarebbe stata quella di esplorare la ricca storia e le tradizioni della Russia, soprattutto attraverso la sua cultura banale, la cosa più russa che ci sia. Una domenica gelida mi trovai in una cabina zingara che andava in bagno a Mosca, dove una coppia era stregata da un falegname di nome Grisha. Mi prese sotto la sua ala, mi lasciò entrare in un mondo altrimenti chiuso, e io vidi me stesso e la Russia con altri occhi. I bagnanti russi hanno insistito solo nell'emisfero che ero una spia, ma sono solo un osservatore curioso, desideroso di conoscere questa antica tradizione che ha fatto parte della loro vita per secoli.
With Light Steam: A Personal Journey Through the Russian Baths Als ich 1996 meine Reise durch das postsowjetische Russland begann, konnte ich mir das unglaubliche Abenteuer, das vor mir lag, nicht vorstellen. Nachdem ich die relative Stabilität der USA hinter mir gelassen hatte, befand ich mich mitten im Chaos, aber auch inmitten einer faszinierenden Kultur, die mein ben für immer verändern wird. Mein Fokus lag auf der Berichterstattung über Wissenschaft und Wissenschaft für die weltweit führenden Publikationen, aber ich wusste nicht, dass meine wahre Berufung darin bestehen würde, Russlands reiche Geschichte und Traditionen zu erforschen, insbesondere durch das Prisma seiner Badekultur - das Russische an sich. An einem frostigen Sonntagmorgen fand ich mich in einer Zigeunerkabine wieder, die zu einem Bad in Moskau fuhr, wo ein Schreiner namens Grischa, der zur Arbeit gegangen war, Dampf zauberte. Er nahm mich unter seine Fittiche, ließ mich in eine sonst geschlossene Welt eintreten, und ich sah mich und Russland mit anderen Augen. Russische Badegäste bestanden nur halb im Scherz darauf, dass ich ein Spion sei, aber ich bin nur ein neugieriger Beobachter, der sich nach dieser alten Tradition sehnt, die seit Jahrhunderten Teil ihres bens ist.
עם קיטור קל: מסע אישי דרך המרחצאות הרוסיות יוצא למסע דרך רוסיה הפוסט-סובייטית ב-1996, לא יכולתי לדמיין את ההרפתקה המדהימה שצפויה לי. כשאני משאיר מאחור את היציבות היחסית של ארה "ב, אני מוצא את עצמי בתוך תוהו ובוהו, אבל גם בתוך תרבות מרתקת שתשנה את חיי לנצח. התמקדתי בדיווח על אקדמיה ומדע לפרסומים המובילים בעולם, אבל לא ידעתי שקריאתי האמיתית תהיה לחקור את ההיסטוריה והמסורות העשירות של רוסיה, במיוחד דרך העדשה של תרבות האמבטיה שלה - הדבר הרוסי ביותר שיש. בבוקר יום ראשון קפוא מצאתי את עצמי בבקתה צוענית בדרך לבית מרחץ במוסקבה, שם נגר ששמו גרישה העלה אדים. הוא לקח אותי תחת חסותו, הרשה לי להיכנס לעולם סגור אחר, וראיתי את עצמי ורוסיה בעיניים שונות. מתרחצים רוסים התעקשו רק בצחוק למחצה שאני מרגל, אבל אני רק צופה סקרן להוט ללמוד על מסורת עתיקה זו שהייתה חלק מחייהם במשך מאות שנים.''
With Light Steam: A Personal Journey Through the Russian Baths 1996 yılında Sovyet sonrası Rusya'da bir yolculuğa çıkarken, önümdeki inanılmaz macerayı hayal bile edemezdim. ABD'nin göreceli istikrarını geride bırakarak, kendimi kaosun kalınlığında, aynı zamanda hayatımı sonsuza dek değiştirecek büyüleyici bir kültürün kalınlığında buluyorum. Odak noktam dünyanın önde gelen yayınları için akademi ve bilim hakkında haber yapmaktı, ancak gerçek çağrımın Rusya'nın zengin tarihini ve geleneklerini, özellikle de banyo kültürünün merceğinden - en çok Rus şeyinden - keşfetmek olacağını bilmiyordum. Soğuk bir pazar sabahı, kendimi Grisha adında bir marangozun buhar çıkardığı Moskova'daki bir hamama seyahat eden bir çingene kulübesinde buldum. Beni kanatları altına aldı, kapalı bir dünyaya girmeme izin verdi ve kendimi ve Rusya'yı farklı gözlerle gördüm. Rus yüzücüler şaka yollu benim casus olduğumda ısrar ettiler, ama ben sadece yüzyıllardır hayatlarının bir parçası olan bu eski geleneği öğrenmek isteyen meraklı bir gözlemciyim.
ببخار خفيف: رحلة شخصية عبر الحمامات الروسية في رحلة عبر روسيا ما بعد الاتحاد السوفيتي في عام 1996، لم أكن لأتخيل أبدًا المغامرة المذهلة التي تنتظرني. تاركًا ورائي الاستقرار النسبي للولايات المتحدة، أجد نفسي في خضم الفوضى، ولكن أيضًا في خضم ثقافة رائعة ستغير حياتي إلى الأبد. كان تركيزي على الإبلاغ عن الأوساط الأكاديمية والعلوم للمنشورات الرائدة في العالم، لكن القليل لم أكن أعرف أن دعوتي الحقيقية ستكون استكشاف تاريخ وتقاليد روسيا الغنية، خاصة من خلال عدسة ثقافة الحمام - أكثر شيء روسي هناك. في صباح أحد أيام الأحد الفاترة، وجدت نفسي في مقصورة غجرية مسافرًا إلى حمام في موسكو، حيث استحضر نجار يدعى جريشا البخار. أخذني تحت جناحه، مما سمح لي بالدخول إلى عالم مغلق، ورأيت نفسي وروسيا بعيون مختلفة. أصر السباحون الروس نصف مازحين فقط على أنني جاسوس، لكنني مجرد مراقب فضولي حريص على التعرف على هذا التقليد القديم الذي كان جزءًا من حياتهم لعدة قرون.
가벼운 증기: 1996 년 러시아 이후 러시아를 여행하는 러시아 목욕탕을 통한 개인 여행으로, 나는 앞으로 나아갈 놀라운 모험을 상상할 수 없었습니다. 미국의 상대적 안정을 뒤로하면서, 나는 혼란의 두꺼움뿐만 아니라 내 인생을 영원히 바꿀 매혹적인 문화의 두꺼운 곳에서도 자신을 발견합니다. 저는 세계 최고의 출판물에 대한 학계와 과학에 대한보고에 중점을 두었지만, 특히 목욕 문화의 렌즈를 통해 러시아의 풍부한 역사와 전통을 탐구하는 것이 진정한 소명이라는 것을 거의 알지 못했습니다. 서리가 내린 일요일 아침, 나는 모스크바의 목욕탕으로 여행하는 집시 오두막에서 자신을 발견했습니다. 그는 나를 그의 날개 아래로 데려 가서 닫힌 세상에 들어갈 수있게했고, 나는 다른 눈으로 나 자신과 러시아를 보았다. 러시아 입욕 자들은 반 농담으로 내가 스파이라고 주장했지만, 나는 수세기 동안 그들의 삶의 일부였던이 고대 전통에 대해 배우고 싶어하는 호기심 많은 관찰자입니다.
With Light Steam: A Personal Journey Through the Russian Baths 1996踏上後蘇聯俄羅斯的旅程,我永遠無法想象一個等待我前進的不可思議的冒險。拋棄了美國的相對穩定,我發現自己陷入了一片混亂,但也陷入了一片迷人的文化,將永遠改變我的生活。我的重點是為世界領先的出版物報道學術界和科學,但我幾乎不知道,我的真正職業將是探索俄羅斯豐富的歷史和傳統,特別是通過其沐浴文化的棱鏡俄羅斯的東西。在寒冷的星期天早上,我發現自己在一個吉普賽人的小屋裏,開車去莫斯科的一個浴室,那裏的夫婦被一個名叫Grisha的木匠上班。他把我帶到他的翅膀下,讓我進入一個原本封閉的世界,我用不同的眼睛看到了自己和俄羅斯。俄羅斯沐浴者只是半身堅稱我是間諜,但我只是一個好奇的觀察者,渴望了解這個古老的傳統,這個傳統幾個世紀以來一直是他們生活的一部分。
