I never said they were used exclusively in Russia. However, it is strange because I don't think they are allowed in the EU - a grounded plug can be inserted without a ground connection, and the recess is way too shallow. Such sockets may have been allowed by lenient regulations many decades ago but the design seems way too modern.
