RUSSIA: MOSCOW: ANNUAL ICE BATHING
Russian/Nat
The Soviet Union has disintegrated and the Russian Empire came and went -- but there's one tradition in Russia that continues to endure.
Every winter, hundreds of Russian bathers break the ice to take a dip in the Moskva river.
These bathers, otherwise referred to as walruses, swear by their annual ice-bathing, claiming it saves thousands of roubles in doctor's fees.
Fifteen below zero on the thermometer and six inches of snowfall overnight -- perfect weather for a refreshing dip in the Moskva river.
While Russia's new class of wealthy have fled the Russian winter for the shores of Thailand and Southern Turkey some Muscovites prefer a dip closer to home.
Dubbed the walruses, these Muscovites gather throughout the winter months to test their mettle against the elements.
Veterans reckon a regular plunge saves thousands of roubles on doctor's fees.
Some claim even greater benefits.
Committed ice-bathers believe a quick dip followed by a couple of shots of vodka rewards the serious adherent with spiritual and even aphrodisiac properties.
SOUNDBITE: (In Russian)
It means health and certainty in the future. I recommend ice-swimming to all women!

Ice bathing is no passing fad -- Russians have been doing it for
centuries.
SOUNDBITE: (In Russian)
Your mood improves, especially if you get into a regime. And you can work better too.

And, as veterans are quick to point out, it's a lot cheaper than exercise bikes, aromatherapy and magic crystals.

The group braved the 10 degree Celsius (50 Fahrenheit) water for around 20 minutes as part of Epiphany celebrations.

RAW: Russians take icy water bath to celebrate Orthodox Epiphany
Hundreds of Muscovites braved minus 10 degree Celsius weather and plunged into icy water at Serebryany Bor Park overnight on Monday through Tuesday (January 18-19) to celebrate the Orthodox Epiphany.
After a priest blessed the water, people formed a queue to the hole cut in the frozen lake and started dipping in to the freezing water.
Every year, tens of thousands of Russian Orthodox Church followers dipped into ice holes cut in rivers and ponds across the country to mark Epiphany, cleansing themselves with holy water.
