 Leeches Pump Fresh Blood Into Economy
Leeches are swelling in popularity both medically and cosmetically with big-name enthusiasts from the likes of Demi Moore who recently had leeches suck her blood in the name of detox therapy.
And it is good news for Russia, which breeds 10 times more leeches than the rest of the world combined.
The majority of the country's leeches are born in the International Leech Centre just outside Moscow. Imagine a library, but with jars full of leeches instead of books, and a female-dominated workforce making for a maternal atmosphere.

Farm manager Elena Titova says: "There is always contact and a special relationship between humans and leeches. Women have a maternal instinct so they are better at doing this delicate and complicated work than men."
There are two million leeches at the farm - at one pound per leech, this is big business.
Each leech has three sets of jaws with 90 teeth; their medical value lies in the fact that they secrete a natural anaesthetic that also prevents the blood from clotting.
Feeding time involves buckets of cows' blood and resembles something out of a horror movie - leeches that are about to be sold do not get any food for three months to ensure their appetite is strong when they reach clients.
In a small clinic, housed in an anonymous block of flats in central Moscow, a seven-year-old boy is the reluctant recipient of leech therapy aimed at curing his hyperactivity.
He squeals with horror as the doctor attaches each leech. "It really stings when they start sucking," he says.
The boy's doctor insists they can cure almost any disease or illness. Such a belief may seem archaic but these little suckers are in demand.

And all squeamishness is forgotten when there is the prospect of youth and beauty, which is what the Kimberlyland Academy of Beauty in Moscow says leech therapy can offer.
Thirty-five-year-old Irina Eliseyeva is keen to hold on to her looks. So keen, she lets leeches suck her blood.
"It always gives me beautiful, healthy skin. The blood flows to my face and makes it younger. It also gets rid of small wrinkles."
The gory climax of the treatment is cutting the gorged leech in half and covering the face with the resulting blood.
"If you want to be young and beautiful - it's worth it!"
There is of course great scepticism as to whether any of this works - but if there is a chance, Russia will ensure there is always a leech on hand to perform its gruesome task.
