Type F and C outlets The two most common outlets in Russia side by side. The type F outlets are identical to those used elsewhere in the world.
Type C/A combination A bit odd in the former Soviet Union, this outlet also accepts American (sic!) plugs.
Wire radio outlet This is in fact an outlet for wire broadcasts! Plug in a very simple receiver and you get a few radio stations. It is not known if this system is still in use, but it was very widespread in the Soviet Union.
