I'm having a little trouble buying that any water anywhere in Russia is considered even close to clean.
I did find this at wiki's Lake Baikal page:

It is considered among the world's clearest lakes...

Under Environmental Concerns, though, the phrase "...the lake's ultra-pure water..." is used.
So, there is the possibility, however slight
, that I may not know wtf I'm talking about.
