      Actually, if you zoom in, you’ll see that the third “hole” on the top one is a screw holding the cover in place lol

        That can’t be safe right? Surely the screw should be placed somewhere without contact of the plug.

          As long as it’s grounded it’s fine. I’d be more concerned about someone plugging in a device that needs grounding into a socket like that.

            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.
