“A simple GFCI circuit would have prevented that. Russia IS a third world country.”
Many countries to not have a ground in their electrical systems - Japan is an excellent example. 100 Volts and two simple wires...
I think we are overly litigious in our society...suffocation warnings on plastic bags to prevent infants and children whom cannot read from suffocating...
This could be an accident though likely not.
If there was a GFCI circuit breaker then she ‘...might have fallen asleep and drowned due toot much vodka or the like’...a hit is a hit.
If I am not mistaking most Russian multy-unit housing buildings constructed between late 1960s-1992 which are a majority of existing urban housing has 3 phase 380v in kitchen and 220v elsewhere. Bathroom is by default also a laundry room with washer and dryer installed so there are 220v outlets to run it.
