If you fill like in need of some urgent help while on travel to Russia, visiting Moscow, then you can try to use this Orange SOS Booth.
It has a user-friendly interface with only one button “CALL” , so the language barrier won’t be a barrier at all.
All other parts of those SOS booths are made of hard metal so it’s intended for a long living in somehow unfriendly environment it is placed to stand.

Wouldn’t it help if the large letters on the side were in Russian?
The latin SOS is known around the world, even reussians know what is meens. It was intended to be so, so foreign sailors could understand eachother over the radio out at sea when they needed help.
So what in fact happens if you press this button? Russian police comes to rob you?

.
you will be teleported to the safe place.
and only after that be robbed
We got these things on every subwaystation in our town. Funny thing is that SOS is also streetlanguage for cocaine!
SOS is an universal emergency symbol that is known worldwide. No reason to have in Russian.
More than half of the Americans don’t even know what it means, and it’s abbreviated in English.

Does Doctor Who come jumping out of this?
That boxes are a chilean idea from the former Chilean capital mayor, Joaquin Lavin.
Now i see the “Juaco” has a terrible sucess in Russia-
[...] De Chile, se dice que han salido varios inventos como el volantin, el hilo curado, la tapita que se pone debajo de la pata de la mesa, la piscola, la chupilca con polvora, en fin una rara pero ridicula lista de inventos chilenos que hacen de este pais, el lugar de los inventos insolitos, pero eso es otro tema. Pero volviendo a un tema, hare una especie de flashback, en que un conocido alcalde que hacia de sus exentricidades en su feudo, mas que eso, un dia se le ocurrio ir a las tierras rusas y a cambio de unas cuantas cosas como modelos rusas y vodkas a cambio de chicha y longanizas de Chillan. Pero regresando al tema de ese conocido alcalde y sus excentricidades, se le ocurrio exportar una gran idea que le agrado a los rusos y aunque aca fue objeto de parodias, alla en las lejanas tierras del vodka es todo un boom.Imagen: English Russia [...]
