Photos from a Naturist Wedding, St. Peterburg




Photos from a Naturist Wedding, St. Petersburg, Russia. There were about 50 Naturists in attendance. 13 year old Natasha and her sisters were the bride's maids. The happy couple is joined by the bride's mother as the sacred vows are read. Although it is all in good fun the ceremony is carried out following the ancient pagan traditions of the group. Although today's members are Christian they still honor the traditions of their ancestors.

ODESSA




"TIKHY" NUDIST BEACH

(Description and author's personal impressions of his visit to Odessa on August 16–19, 2000)


Location

Odessa1995_01a.JPG (15432 bytes)The nudist beach "Tikhy" ("Quiet", in Russian) is situated at the Black Sea coast in the recreation zone of the city of Odessa, approximately half way between the well-known city recreation areas "Dolphin" and "Arcadia", immediately adjoining the official beach of "Chkalov" Health Resort. (We speak of a nudist beach, since the word naturism appears to be virtually unknown in Odessa.)

The simplest way to get to the beach: take a tram No 5 (the route is: Bus Station – Railway Station – Arcadia) heading for Arcadia and get off at the stop Chkalov Health Resort in Frantsuzky Bulvar (French Boulevard). Then walk through the Chkalov Resort park (the entry is free) over its central ride, leave it through the back gate, come downslope to a seaside asphalted road, get around the fence of the Chkalov Resort beach from the right (entry to this beach is chargeable for non-patrons of the resort), and then walk further down to the sea by a path descending the coastal cliff to the nudist beach. The whole way from Railway Station to the beach takes 30–35 minutes.

There is an optional way of transportation: one can reach the beach with trolleybuses No 5, 7 or 9, as well as by buses or "route-taxi" minibuses, with getting off at the "Sport Palace" stop at Prospect Shevchenko (Shevchenko Avenue) and walking from there through the University Botanical Garden to the French Boulevard (a 5 minutes' walk). The entry from the Shevchenko Avenue to Botanical Garden is through a gap in a concrete fence just opposite the middle of the Sport Palace's right flank; a lot of people is using this path, so you'll find your way at once. The most convenient route to the beach from the city center (Grecheskaya Ploshchad – Greek Square, by side of Deribasovskaya Ulitsa – de Ribas St.) is by trolleybuses No 5 and 9, and a convenient route from the new residential areas in Southern Odessa is by trolleybuses No 7 and 9.

Overall conditions

Odessa downtown occupies a flat plateau elevated at a few tens of meters over the sea level; the plateau is abruptly coming down to the sea with cliffs at the North and East. Odessa's main recreation area is located along the Eastern plateau fringe, taking up some 6 km of the sea coast length. Resort hotels and sanatoriums are usually located right at the precipice edge, with steep slopes partly refined with a gardening layout coming down to the sea beneath; placed below, right at the sea coast, are the four most prominent beach and recreation areas: "Langeron", "Otrada" ("Delight", in Ukrainian and Russian), "Dolphin" and "Arcadia", adorned with numerous entertainment and game establishments, with trade and catering. The intervals between them are less developed, but are also employed as beaches.

Built along the whole coastal line are transverse breakwater piers to prevent the infrastructure erosion; they are distanced by 400–500 m from one another and are jutting a few tens of meters into the sea to divide the coastal zone into separate sections. The beaches usually would consist of either rather coarse pebble or from stone slates, making up in most places a relatively narrow stripe with small, some 10 m-high, cliffs overhanging . The equipped beaches would be usually covered with sand, either purposely brought or obtained on place with a special technology of crushing of the relatively soft limestone rock.

Conditions at the "Tikhy" nudist beach

Odessa1995_03a.JPG (23632 bytes)Officially, the beach occupies about 200 m of the waterfront line, i.e., about half a distance between two breakwaters, immediately adjoining the Chkalov Resort beach from the South (to the right of the latter, if looking from the coast onto the sea). In fact, the nudists are settling themselves over the entire 400 m-long beach section, but the majority is concentrated at the more convenient official section. The beach is a 20–30 m-wide stripe mostly covered with pebble (of a pigeon's egg size, not very smooth), but there is a sand "island" in the center (of about 10x50 m in dimensions) – the place preferred by many. One walks over the pebbles when coming into the water, but there is quite a lot of medium-sized and big rocks under water (limestone, sometimes with rather roughly rugged surface), so one must be very cautious both at stepping into the water and at swimming not to hurt oneself over the rocks. Distanced about 40 meters from the coastal line into the sea, a breakwater parallel to the coast is passing beneath the water surface; one can stand on it knee-deep, which many like to do. Dominating at the second, "unofficial", part of the beach are big rocks preferred by those who like sunbathing on stone slates. As a cliff overhangs the beach from the West, the cliff shadow starts covering the beach in late afternoon (after about 5 p.m.) to make the people migrate with the speed of shadow onto the parts of the beach that remain illuminated longer.

Conditions for outdoors games at the beach are rather poor – in the first place, for the lack of space, but also because of a coarse pebble at the coast and big rocks in the water. A small stream confined into a tube flows into the sea at the "unofficial" part of the beach; one of the common amusements is going there to swill oneself with a colder sweet water. Besides, this water is assumed suitable for drinking. Many people find a pleasure in collecting mussels among the rocks in the sea.

The "official" part of the beach boasts a buffet with a counter, several tables and chairs. The buffet personnel is supposed to collect garbage at the buffet and around it. Hawkers trading in pies, fish, ice creams and other snacks are constantly passing through the beach.

With regard to the comfort and development, the nudist beach sharply contrasts the adjoining Chkalov Resort beach: the latter presents a wide stripe of soft sand (both at the coast and underwater), a shadowy verdure area, sports grounds, rentals of sports equipment, trade establishments, toilets, etc. One who wants to bathe snugger or, e.g., to play volleyball, has to put on briefs and pass onto this beach (one can easily do it by crossing a purely symbolic fencing). The presence of topless females at the Chkalov beach is quite a common affair not attracting anyone's attention.

Habits and manners at the "Tikhy" nudist beach

Odessa1995_02a.JPG (13248 bytes)Up to 600–700 people assemble at the nudist beach on hot summer days. The majority of them are odessites, the rest are patrons of nearby resort hotels coming from other cities, regions or countries. The beach area is obviously insufficient for such a number of people, particularly, as regards the most preferred places: the sand isle in the middle and the stripe of a finer pebble right along the waterfront. Thus the central part of the beach is always overcrowded, with people setting up themselves side by side in the literal sense of the word. There is virtually no difference in the beach populace on week and weekend days at a hot weather; the males to females ratio is, as everywhere, approximately 2:1, but the number of children is relatively small.

One peculiarity about the nudist beach "Tikhy" is that the proportion of "clothed" sunbathers may reach up to 25–30% at times; notably, these people are coming to the beach purposely: one possibly cannot get there by chance, as there are only two paths over which one can get down to the beach without using of mountain climbing elements (and one should know these paths too). Still the local nudists seem to be taking such a phenomenon very easy, with the general mood at the beach keeping quite natural and friendly?! (Our comment: for one, we only can envy such a degree of tolerance by the odessites; but we rather would wish them that the proportion of "textiles" at the nudist beach do not grow further – otherwise one might be impelled to conduct a poll one day among the sunbathers: "Who knows (or can recall) what is nudism?").

The problem under discussion with the city administration now is an official allocation to the nudists of the whole 400 m-long space between the two breakwaters, with a further development of the area to follow, including the construction of toilets, crushing of big rocks, delivery of sand, etc. (true, I did not quite catch where the local activists are going to get the money from for these purposes?).

An overall resume of personal impressions

The city of Odessa has produced an immense impact on me – one who never was to Odessa before. I spent 4 days there, but I could not manage to look at all I wanted to, so I would come to Odessa again with pleasure. Odessa can boast a very remarkable urban milieu and an architecture of the XIX and early XX century (remember: Odessa used to be the 4th city in the Russian Empire by its size and importance, to follow St. Petersburg, Moscow and Warsaw). Odessa is visibly well cared for nowadays, the city is well heeded and a good money is invested into improvements. The public transport operates pretty good, and there is no problem for a city guest with purchasing consumer goods and with catering.

As for the "Tikhy" Nudist Beach, it certainly is inferior to Koktebel both by natural conditions and by opportunities of the human communication. In the first place, both bathing and resting at the shore is less comfortable here, the beach is poorly ventilated by winds at a hot weather, bathing at a stormy weather is simply dangerous because of the underwater rocks, and, finally, the bathing season duration is shorter in Odessa than in the not so far distanced Crimea. In addition, renting of a suitable housing is both more difficult and more expensive for a visitor in Odessa than at the Crimean resorts, everything being adapted to receive guests at the latter. In short, Odessa is a "Pearl at the Sea" for those who want to combine the sea resort leisure with a life in a megalopolis.

On the whole, I rather would not recommend going to Odessa for the sake of sea beach and bathing alone, but I would recommend in every way visiting the "Tikhy" Nudist Beach to those coming to Odessa by just a chance or as tourists.

Russian Nudist Beach

In a catalogue “1000 Best Beaches of the World” recently published in the USA Russia is represented only by the beach of the “Naturist Society” in the Gulf of Finland under St. Petersburg. The beach administration has demonstrated the colourful illustrated catalogue and marks that no other Russian beach was included in the rating.

“Our beach is traditional and the citizens got used to it. Even those who come to the neighbouring sanatoriums and vacation hotels express interest and call us to know whether the beach is working”, as the beach administration says. According to the “Naturist Society”, their nudist beach is the only recognized one in St. Petersburg.



From the lovely Baltic Sea, to the Russian nudists capital of St. Petersburg, naturism in Russia has grown by leaps and bounds since the dissolution of the communist block and the disbandment of the former communist led Soviet Union. Russian nudists have formed their own union, groups, and communes all across the large historic Eurasian nation. Russian nudist and naturists enjoy the wide open plains and beautiful terrain that makes up a vast portion of the large country. Much like its former enemy and current ally, the United States, Russia is a vast and varied country, though it has a much deeper lineage and a much larger more sanctified heritage. It is a storied nation whose history dates back past the birth of the Christ. Most Russian nudists in fact believe strongly in the Messiah and long to experience nature at its barest.

Russian nudists are a very healthy bunch for the most part. Very physically fit and trim. Just look at Russian athletes in this day and age such as Sergei Federov, Maria Sharapova, and Pavel Bure, they are all healthy and vibrant, and tend to age slower than other peoples. The Russian people as a whole are a very healthy people, largely due to the work ethic required to exist in Russia, Russia is a largely blue collar nation filled with physical people that live off of the rugged land harvesting their needs with blood, sweat, and tears. Russian nudists fit this mold even more so as they believe spiritually in harmony with nature. Not only do they strive to live off of the land, they strive to be one with their natural surroundings without upsetting the balance of man, god, and country. Russia is a tough, rugged country with large portions of unsettled territory and brutally harsh winters. That being said, there are numerous spas and resorts all over the country that were built by and specifically for Russian nudists. They are visited by tens of thousands of nudists every year, and in some cases the spas are high traffic tourist destinations due the beauty of the resorts. Russian nudists often live naturally as whole families with naturist churches, gatherings, activities, and communes.

Russian nudists work closely with the Christian and catholic churches that are the central religion of the old country. There are nudist and naturist organizations all over the country from border to border, and in all the major cities including even Moscow. There are even Russian nudist organizations in the heart of the most god awful inhabited land, perhaps, on the face of this planet. Russian naturists even exist in what was once a winter prison known as Siberia. There are brave and crazy Russian nudists that weather the sub zero temperatures of large bodies of water in Russia in the heart of the coldest of winters. Hypothermia or not, they believe so strongly in naturism that they risk their bodies in freezing waters and icy conditions, like naked polar bears, to experience nature at its most brutal. If that isn’t a true exhibition of a desire to experience nature, then I certainly don’t know what is.

Nude In Russia's main focus is outdoor nudity and flashing joining the natural beauties of Russian landscape as well as the most famous monuments with the beauty of the nude female body. Public nudity is one topic, but so is outdoor nudity, or even more so nude in the snow, showing how chilly on one hand side, but also how beautiful and romantic the snowy Russian winters can get.

The fun and natural enthusiasm shown by our girls in all series, even during the coldest temperatures (-26.5°C / -16°F so far was the coldest we did a series at) is something we are very proud to share and also led us to open another new additional section (meaning we did not cut down on any other updates for this) which is studio and in-private series where some girls like to show us a more glamorous side and some others a nastier side of themselves.

We show Russian daily life as well as locations off the beaten tourist track and we also provide background information on significant sights and monuments we had our girls pose in front of. Shivering, but still having fun and enjoying themselves, we have our girls play with and in the snow and at times there are many people around enjoying whatever our girls are willing to play along live. We also provide bio information on each girl as well as a description of what happened at each specific series, so you can understand better what happened and empathize the live experience.

Bottom line is that we enjoy bringing all of Russia's beauties to you, from landscape, over monuments, the history and surely also as the main focus the Russian girls in public nudity, flashing and nude in the snow scenarios.

Interview with Russian Naturist Alla

Russian bare nature...


Alla is a ten-year old Young Naturist who is a member of the Free Body Culture Society with her Nother, Elena and Grandmother, Margarita. Alla first visited the Clothes Optional Beach when she was four years old.

Russian bare people are often frank and I like to read their talkings...






Q: Alla, how long have you been a part of the Free Body Culture Society?

A: When I was four years old, my Granny took me to this beach. Then on the next year my Mummy came with us too.

Q: Do you have friends your age who are also a part of the Free Body Culture Society?

A: All of my girlfriends, except those in school, are from here. And I have friends of many different ages. There are several boys and girls who are 12-14 years old, They are also my friends.

Q: What is your favorite place to spend the day?

A: Of course here on the beach! But if the weather is bad or cold, then in the forest near the sandpit. In any case, we could do the bonfire and be warm. Our usual place in Winter is there too. I usually spend my time in Winter with my Granny.

Q: Isn’t the weather too cold for being naked?

A: We could make a bon-fire at any time. So we will be warm?

Q: Would you like for your future children to be a part of the Free Body Culture Society also?

A: Yes, I would like to allow my future children to be free to choose their own lifestyle. I would give them the opportunity to decide for themselves whether or not to be Naturists.

Q: Do you think Russian Naturism is different than Naturism in the rest of Europe and the U.S.?

A: Yes. The Western idea of Naturism is different from ours. It only deals with human nakedness. Our Naturism is first concerned with Nature and only then with nudity. Naturists from around the world look for places in which they could be nude with other people. In the Free Body Culture Society we try to make Nature healthier and people healthier. We try to help people to feel free so that they can spend their rime in joy. Our Naturism is not just concerned with the naked body.

Q: What would you tell other people who are afraid to be Naturists?

A: The people like this could be foolish or non-experienced people who are very shy about nudity. I do not like to be in contact with the first type of person because I like only clever people. However, if they are simply shy then I could say to them, “ Let us try this! See what I am doing and o the same! Let’s be together!” I prefer to allow them to decide whether or not to be Naturists, whether or not to use this wonderful freedom.

Q: What is the best and the worst part of being a Naturist?

A: The best thing in Naturism is the freedom to choose how to be and, of course, the Friendship!
The worst thing in Naturism is the insects, the flies and the mosquitoes. And the short Summer time here when we can enjoy the sun and Nature in the nude!

About Russian Culture
The defeat of the Russian Empire in World War I led to the seizure of power by the Communists and the formation of the USSR. The brutal rule of Josef STALIN (1924-53) strengthened Russian dominance of the Soviet Union at a cost of tens of millions of lives. The Soviet economy and society stagnated in the following decades until General Secretary Mikhail GORBACHEV (1985-91) introduced glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in an attempt to modernize Communism, but his initiatives inadvertently released forces that by December 1991 splintered the USSR into 15 independent republics. Since then, Russia has struggled in its efforts to build a democratic political system and market economy to replace the strict social, political, and economic controls of the Communist period. A determined guerrilla conflict still plagues Russia in Chechnya.

Why this blog is useful for those who want to view Russian bare

Hi, everybody

I have made this blog just to gather in one place the information about Russian bare people. You can see in internet many resources about naturists but many of are not interesting. I want to give here really interesting materials that will include photos, links to appropriate sites, text stories and etc. Visit this blog and I hope that your wishes will be satisfied.
