You can still visit the more soviet style hotels and experience some 'serious' treatments in typical soviet decor. Treatments claim to treat all sorts of ailments and are very cheap costing as little as two pounds for a mud bath, however if your aim is to experience spa's soviet style then be quick as even these establishments are smartening up to take advantage of interest from western tourists.
