Olympics Special Russ_t13

MOSCOW - As if the Russians didn't have enough problems as the Olympics approach Feb. 7, fending off talk of terrorism, defending themselves against accusations of homophobia, denying any corruption was involved in the $51 billion construction project. Now they've got a toilet problem. No, not a scarcity of toilets - too many of them. At least too many in one stall.

Communal toilets are apparently not uncommon in Russia.

So Indians are very advanced (or very ancient) in this.

I suspect the ruskies "community toilet" is a hangover from the Gulag regime.
