From Antigua and Barbuda to Russia
When travelling from Antigua and Barbuda to Russia: None of your Antigua and Barbuda plug types fit in Russia. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (110V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Russia
Russia runs on 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets.
Grid & history
Russia operates one of the world’s largest power systems, dominated by natural gas, nuclear (Rosatom is a major exporter of reactor technology), and Siberian hydropower.
Availability
Reliable in Moscow and St Petersburg. Rural Siberia and the Far East can see longer outages, especially in winter.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is the modern standard. Older Soviet-era buildings sometimes have ungrounded Type C sockets that still accept C and F plugs.
Energy mix
Gas dominates; hydro and nuclear significant.
Practical tips
- A European C/F adapter is all you need.
- Voltage is 230V. Modern chargers handle it.
