What kind of electrical outlets are in Russia?


I'm visiting Russia (I'm from the US) and was wondering, do they have the same kind of electrical outlets in Russia as here?

Same as in France (if you see what we have in France)...

220 / 230 V and outlets are two circular holes

Outlets look like this :

plugs are made with 2 prongs with rounded ends :

hope it will help

Not the same as US.

They have a similar system to western Europe, but the pins are slightly closer together. You can force a Western European plug into a Russian socket.

have you seen travelosity commercial? take it from there I was left without a hair dryer and with out my lap top

It's not the same as in the US! You'll need to buy an adapter for 220 V and with the round tips for the outlet holes. I used to buy my adapters either at Longs or Wallmart - they are not that expensive and work great.
Good luck on your trip!
