Before WWII, the vast majority of Russians still used outhouses.

So? Our kin used outhouses up until 1960 on the High Plains. And I used an outhouse up until 1956, and I’m NOT talking about National forest pit toilets which are the same and still in use.

Adter WWII< many Americans still did. My dad and mom’s side both had them. My dad didn’t see a flush toilet in the house until 1955. Hell, many enlistees into the military used their first flush toilet then.

Until about 1960.ish, as a tyke, a visit to my paternal grandparents' farm included both an outhouse and, for visits of more than a day or two, a galvanized 'bathtub' in the middle of the kitchen floor.

They had electric, and even a big radio, but plumbing lagged awhile.
