Russians are among the cleanest, Pravda reports

Ah, Pravda:

Russian citizens take the third place in the world among clean and neat nations, following the Hindus and the Americans. The majority of Russians (35 percent) take a shower or a bath on a daily basis. Eleven percent of Russian citizens take a shower twice a day. Residents of Europe turned down their medieval habit of washing themselves twice in a lifetime. However, they still prefer not to take a shower too often. The Britons and the Germans usually wash themselves twice a week.

Majority of Russians

Thanks for this post; it's a great article! I love how 35% equals a majority in Russia. :)

Hmmm....
