220 V · 50 Hz on Type C, Type F.

A 220 V 50 Hz grid on round-pin sockets: Soviet-era buildings have unearthed Type C outlets while newer installations fit the earthed Schuko Type F. One catch in older housing stock — vintage sockets were made for slim 4 mm pins, so a modern Schuko plug with its thicker 4.8 mm pins may refuse to seat, while a europlug always fits.

The voltage window

A nominal 220 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 198 and 242 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.

Pack an adapter — Russia runs 220 V 50 Hz on Type C, Type F — and your 120 V appliances need to be dual-voltage or transformed, adapter or not.
