Russia's monument to the enema
Jul. 1 - An unusual monument to that notorious medical procedure - the enema - has been erected in a resort town in southern Russia.
The one and a half metre-high sculpture to the enema is made of bronze, weighs 400 kilogrammes and cost one million roubles.
While it is a procedure many people would rather not talk about, the southern Russian city of Zheleznovodsk is celebrating it.
The Caucasus Mountains region is known for dozens of spas where enemas with water from mineral springs are routinely administered to treat digestive and other complaints.
