In total, the construction of the bathhouse cost 5 billion rubles.

A Russian who was captured by Ukraine told how he built a bathhouse for Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin in occupied Crimea . He said this in an interview with Dmitry Karpenko.

It is known that the occupier was a builder before he got into a drunken brawl, received four years in prison for it, and signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense to end up in the war in Ukraine. According to him, in 2021 he and his team worked on the temporarily occupied peninsula. In the village of Foros, they were building a bathhouse, which was estimated at five billion rubles. 

According to the prisoner of war, the building’s area was about 1,500 square meters, and the interior was astonishingly luxurious. He said that the marble sinks alone cost about 3.5 million rubles, and each one weighed 450 kilograms. 

Also, expensive materials were used to decorate the bathhouse, namely stone and wood. The roof, according to the man, was actually made of copper. 

The occupant added that the workers were paid 3,500 rubles per day for their work.
