Moscow Toilets
If you go travel Russia, visiting Moscow city, would suddenly get an urge for taking some action in a restroom.
Then there are two things you need to remember:
1. All the public restrooms in Moscow charge fee for use. You need to pay something before you can enter, by cash, they don’t accept major credit cards.
2. After you would enter you can encounter something like this:
This one is a male restroom in Moscow city downtown.
And another thing: despite the daily sanitary measures all toilets smell badly.

I would recommend using restrooms in shopping malls. They are pretty clean. I am not sure that all of them charge fee.
and toilets in McDonalds they are superclean too=)
yeah, mcdonalds is a famous worldwide net of free restrooms
Sauri, yup, that’s the only time I ever go inside McDonalds.
Why not piss on the streets?
You know what?

YES. AND THIS IS TRUE BECAUSE I POSTED THIS ON THE INTERNETS.
At the GUM, the toilets downstairs charge for use, and smell terrible. The toilets upstairs are free, and very clean. I wish someone would explain that…
McDonalds…. making crap pleasant.
Not soo true, in parts of Europe, McDonalds Restrooms are controlled by electronic locks and are for paying customers only. If you dont buy food then you must pay to piss.
I never saw any public restroom anywhere in the world accepting ‘major creditcards’
In Europe you always have to pay for toilets, whether it’s in McDonalds or in central train station (unless you’re eating or drinking in some cafe). I never saw any free public restrooms. In Russia clean toilets are hard to find indeed (except for major shopping malls where you have to pay 10-15 rubles). And you can be sure that if a toilet is free, it will most likely not be clean!
This is classic Russian stupidity. Not one single person offers a constructive suggestion as to how to improve the situation, instead they either (a) deny there is a problem or (b) suggest corrupt ways of avoiding the problem or (c) attack other countries. This is why Russia never makes any progress and is becoming extinct. Really quite pathetic, indicative of a civilization hundreds of years behind the West.
The World Toilet Organization recently had its annual meeting in Moscow to discuss international restroom progress. A report stated:
“Moscow is a good place for the meeting because, in this department, Russia still has a long way to go to catch up with the West. About a third of Russian homes still have an outhouse. And as for public toilets, port-a-potties are state of the art. Russia has few public restrooms. But at least people who hear the call of nature can now use the plastic portable toilets that have been set up recently in many public spaces. For example, just outside Red Square, there are a number of port-a-johns that can be used for 10 rubles (about 35 cents).”

Russia also has an exploding problem with AIDS (by 2020 its expected that 10% of the population will have it), and a vast array of other hygenic disasters.

IDIOTS– just wear a DIAPER all the time, like I do. Crap while you walk– saves lots of time.
In Boston they removed the doors from all the toilet stalls in the Public Library because homeless would go in there during cold weather and just sit on the pot all day, sleep off the drunk.
Of course, removing the doors didn’t stop them– now they sit there with their pants down, pretending to crap for hours at a time, and you walk by and see them sitting/”shitting” there.
God bless ‘em.
When I was in Russia near Red Square - I found myself going to a McDonalds to piss. When I was in London, there are hardly any McDonalds, or anywhere to piss - fee or free. Being american, it’s rude to just piss on the street.
Is that a security camera circled in the top picture? On the second picture, it looks like Chechen terrorists have taken over the toilet.
moscow has the best bathrooms, you just have to find them in right places, nothing compared to LA’s Mcdonalds, that look like crap.

[SKIPPED]
Stupidity? Nah. It`s russian soul, man!
“Russia also has an exploding problem with AIDS (by 2020 its expected that 10% of the population will have it), and a vast array of other hygenic disasters.”
You can’t get AIDS from using a toliet
AIDS most likely confirms ” classic Russian stupidity “. Dirty toilets? Simply Russian stupid.
AIDS? What stupid!
Russian die out? Certainly! Stupid Russian cannot survive in comparison with the civilized West.
By 2050 Russian population will catastrophically decrease. How differently? They such stupid, these Russian.
I visited Russia twice in 1999 and on both occasions I enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately though the only thing that let it down was 2 things. The filthy toilets and loud mouthed septic tanks (americans. Now which is worst a toilet with a hole in the ground and no toilet paper or a loud mouth Yank. At least the it is possible to fix the toilet problem but impossible to fix small minded big headed people such as Eskafolon who going by most americans I have met and it is a lot probably think Russia is the 54th state as Australia is the 53rd. Have a look in your own cesspit before commenting on others. The average Russian I’ve met is 10 times more palatable than a Yank.
I accidentally came across this site and found some parts of it pretty amusing…. till I got to the “comments” part… I will have to take my words back… I have no idea who made this site nor who is usually visiting it and leaving comments here but I have to admit that I have never in my life had a great laugh like this reading all this shit you people write… TOTALLY HILARIOUS!!!! You made my day - thank you!! I mean I was reading your comments before and kept thinking - can anybody possibly be any more stupid than that?? But this here is absolutely awesome guys!! What is so wrong with your pathetic lives that you spend your time discussing public restrooms?! The pic is supposed to be funny ok?!!!!!!!! And not one to some paper work about hygiene or deseases!!! and just so you know - before you start talking bout Russian stupidity - take a look in the mirror and look who’s talking - it’ll all be there!
World Toilet Organization LMFAO…why did i spend so much time reading this shit? haha
Seriously, what is the situation with public toilets in Moscow?
I am going there shortly for the first time.
If I am out and desperate to go what do I do?
I do not want to resort to pissing in the street.
find a mcdonalds:)
seriously. I love international toilets : P. I almost got stymied by some goddamn pay toilet in Berlin… Oh dear. And I speak German fluently. Knowing the language doesn’t help when you’ve nary a Euro to your pocket and intensely crossed legs…
I’ve never been to Russia, but I have been to many other places- and the USA gets first place for revolting toilets. Why the hell do American toilets have so much water in them? They’d soak your damn arse. Seriously wasteful, too, in cities where the water periodically needs to be trucked in. When I was desperate for a pee I ventured into a public loo in some kind of underground shopping place in Georgetown- Never again. There was shit on the floor. But its all that splashy splashy water that puts me off. Who knows what germs are in there?
Sorry. Don’t want to bash Americans. But seriously, that water…
I remember once i visited a toillet in mowcow in one of big train stations. First i had to fight with woman who takes money and gives toillet paper. She didn’t want to give me it, because she thought there are paper in the toilet. I just screamed that i’ll shit my self in few second and just took that stupid toilet paper from her hands. And when i was doing the thing someone started screaming alach akbar. I thought it’s a terrorist. I was shocked very much.
@rawr:
It’s quite serious, dude:

Toilets make for dirty human, but it’s a deadly serious business. Quite simply, poorly managed human wastes kill people.
