Here’s the pop-up message about the promotion on their website:

We stand with Ukraine
Dear Banya lovers:

We, the staff at Archimedes Banya, are supporting the independence and national sovereignty of Ukraine, and express our condolences to the Ukrainian people suffering from the invasion.

We are confident that this act of aggression does not represent Russian culture and people. It represents only the dictator who does not care about his people and how the world will see them.

To demonstrate that Archimedes belongs to a great culture of peaceful communal bathing:

We declare this coming weekend as “Weekend of Ukraine at Archimedes” and will grant free admissions to customers coming with Ukrainian passports.

Wishing everyone peace,

Thank you

Archimedes Banya Management
