He said that his patients have seen that this treatment is working where everything else has failed and it worked for him, and that he’s not a sadist, but still advocates caning.Speransky said that they cane the patients on the buttocks with a clear and definite medical purpose – it is not some warped sado-masochistic activity. Russians pay 3,000 roubles, nearly 50 pounds, for a session of counselling and beating. Also Read - Food insufficiency during COVID-19 pandemic increases depression and anxiety symptoms
