Hi, Aleksej Serdjukov!
I read your message from 04.07.2013 23:57

 ak>>>> They say when he wants to swear at CIA he does it
 ak>>>> the Sheremetyevo bathroom holding the douche as a
 ak>>>> telephone handset. ;=)
 RW>>> There are douche' bags in Russian bathrooms for men?

 AS> You probably mean "shower head":
 AS> ??<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shower#Shower_h...

probably "shower head" is correct --  it is very difficult to find the
correct word knowing the Russian meaning only. 

I meant this, that looks like a telephone handset:

 AS> A douche is something else:
 AS> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douche>.

It is a really tricky word. When I looked in Collins dictionary it said
to me:

douche [] 1) a stream of water or air directed onto the body surface or
into a body cavity, for cleansing or medical purposes 2) the application
of such a stream of water or air 3) an instrument, such as a special
syringe, for applying a douche 4) to cleanse or treat or be cleansed or
treated by means of a douche

My goodness, I always thought that "directed onto the body surface" and
"into a body cavity" is not the same. So, be careful when douching! ;

Bye, Aleksej!
