Russian scientists claim a beating on the naked buttocks with a cane is the perfect way to cure everything from depression to alcoholism.

Well, then. They had better start whacking. Besides, it sounds like Russian patients are kind of in to it:
Dr Marina Chuhrova who also took part in preparing the report said she had 10 patients she caned regularly.
She added: “At first they didn’t like it, but when they started to feel the benefits they kept asking for more.”
