A Russian spa in San Francisco has declared this weekend the “Weekend of Ukraine,” offering anyone with a Ukrainian passport free spa passes.
Archimedes Banya, a Russian banya, or bathhouse, with elements of Greek, Turkish and German spa and steam room culture, issued a statement to its customers over email Thursday in support of Ukraine, after Russian forces launched an invasion of Ukraine.
“We, the staff at Archimedes Banya, are supporting the independence and national sovereignty of Ukraine, and express our condolences to the Ukrainian people suffering from the aggression,” reads the statement from spa management, which was also posted on the Archimedes Banya website Thursday.
Abhishek Vaidya, the general manager of the spa, told SFGATE in an email that the decision was made because staff are “disappointed with what’s going on right now.”
“Banya is a communal bathhouse,” Vaidya said in an email. “Our hope is for people to come together in solidarity.”
The statement goes on to condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin for his actions.
“We are confident that this act of aggression does not represent Russian culture and people,” reads the statement. “It represents only the dictator who does not care about his people and how the world will see them.”
The statement concludes, “Wishing everyone peace.”
