I think its the framing, but I once again speak from experience when I say Russians have great difficulties with parallel walls and 90 degrees angles.

article from Time posted:

Dmitry Kozak, a deputy prime minister, pushed back against complaints from journalists in Sochi that their hotel rooms are in miserable condition, the Wall Street Journal reports. Kozak said Thursday that with 100,000 guests staying in Russian hotels, there have been only 103 registered complaints (though he didn’t say what constitutes a registered complaint). He also awkwardly alluded to possible government surveillance of hotel rooms in arguing that some Westerners are purposely sabotaging Sochi’s image. “We have surveillance video from the hotels that shows people turn on the shower, direct the nozzle at the wall and then leave the room for the whole day,” he said before an aide stopped a reporter from asking further questions, the Journal reports.
