The moment I realized I was a true American was when I was looking at this thinking about traveling and I was momentarily offend that the outlets weren't universally fit for my charger regardless of the functionality of design.
Russia actually uses both in the middle right. I don't think there's much of a difference, but the one closer to the centre is even more common if I remember correctly.
My family and I went to Europe last summer and a friend of ours warned us about the different outlets and gave us a bag of different ones we could use. Thank god for her or else we wouldn’t have been able to charge anything.
