"Сосновый бор" в сосновом бору "Pine forest" in a pine forest

This is a sanatorium, not far from Kazan (Tatarstan). Although, after talking with vacationers, I realized that the place is familiar to many - they were from the Moscow region, Arkhangelsk, Udmurtia, etc.
I decided to treat what else is possible, and not far from my city)) I was looking for something for the January holidays, but the prices of domestic tourism "smiled" only for sanatorium treatment.
I took it for 9 days (of which 2 days, January 7 and 10, turned out to be days off) in the economy option - buildings 5 ​ ​ and 6 remained at a price of 2200 per day with accommodation in a double standard room.
You can live, there was no repair in our wing of the building, the furniture is not new, the shower is a hole in the floor. But don't be afraid. Do not scare me - I saw adequate European 2 *.

I read reviews "there is nothing to eat", "people run to Pyaterochka for feeding", etc. I thought that a week of dietary nutrition would not harm my body, and suddenly I would lose weight. Eh. Failed. They fed normally. Two halls in the local "restaurant" (sorry, but the restaurant still does not pull))). There are two rooms - a Swedish (Turkish version) and a semi-buffet, meat - a choice of 3 options to order (waitresses bring), and you choose and bring drinks, side dishes and first courses. Three meals a day, fruit once or twice a day, afternoon snack (yogurt-ryazhenka, baked goods), kefir at night (0.5 l). Even for breakfast you could choose meat. Where can you get hungry here... (((But she smiled at the crowded plates of some "comrades", I immediately remembered the same picture in the resorts of Egypt and Turkey . . With a "lack" of food, you can go to the "buffet hall" - for an additional fee of 350 rupees per day. There's more choice. Didn't look in. They said.
The attitude of the medical staff is quite normal. Not rude, helpful and friendly, regardless of the paid procedures. In principle, I did not want to spend money on paid services, but I could not resist, since some procedures (speleological chamber) were paid. But tolerable - 50 rubles a session of 30-35 minutes. I took an oxygen cocktail (50 r) and a magnetoturbotron. At the expense of the latter, I first paid for 3 procedures, then read it on the Internet, risked spending all the recommended minutes. The procedure resembles a tomogram - you lie down on a couch, which is rolled into a capsule. It is advisable not to move, although the nurses said that the movements are not limited. I had many restrictions after the operation, so I took the treatment to a minimum - massage, herbal tea, laser, dry carbon dioxide vynn (a curious procedure - you sit like in a cedar barrel, but let a warm current of carbon dioxide pass through), inhalations. I've had enough. I saw "driven" vacationers who had to be in time for parallel procedures).
You can walk a lot and for a long time. During the day - complete charm, in the evening - there was not enough lighting. There is a living corner in the sanatorium - a reindeer, a white pony, two horses. The living creatures are biting, it is written about it on the enclosures. Didn't dare to check.
In principle, I rested mentally, walked a lot - before breakfast, before lunch, between lunch and afternoon tea, between afternoon tea and dinner, a little after dinner. A real pine forest + birches + spruces (and blue ones too). I wanted to sleep all the time, but I only slept at home)))

What to pay attention to the administration and vacationers: insufficient lighting for evening walks and the lack of visible security of the sanatorium. Through the entrance I saw repeatedly how the locals went with skis into the forest through the sanatorium. But it was more alarming that in the local bar my neighbors saw local guys who didn’t drink tea and coffee at all, but with them the girls from Constellation, who came to the sanatorium for three days to perform.
In general, you can relax.
