An average American takes a shower twice a day – this is a holy ritual in the States. A person who neither takes a shower, nor changes his or her underwear for two days is considered an outcast in the USA.
Specialists say that Russians have developed a passion for cleanliness through TV series, films, books and other objects of mass culture, which actively imitate the American lifestyle.
Behind all of that is the half-articulated point that this obsession with cleanliness is pushing Russia to the brink of an ecological disaster because they, along with all the other clean nations, are rapidly depleting the world's fresh water resources.
Just one of several major ecological disasters Russia seems to be on the brink of, honestly. I just love the tone of this article so very much.
