Of course. Every russian has samovar along with fur coat and ushanka since his birth. For most prominent russians they give silver and golden samovars.
У меня есть целая блядская коллекция.
Yes. It is called russian classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pedIGmIyVwU
Last one I had like in 1995 and that was actually electrical kettle in disguise. Maybe some people in remote villages still have them, I am not sure that anyone else uses them, they are fire hazard because original samovar uses wood chips to burn and boil water. Electrical one in my opinion too electrical for samovar and too unwieldy for electrical kettle.
My balalaika still ok tho
which is the most probable to be a fire hazard?
the original samovar that uses wood chips?
or eletric one imitating one
I have a Russell Hobbs electric kettle from pic related. It's way better that having a kettle using gas stove specially a poor country with expensive consumer piped -natural gas or propane or butane gas cylinder. But you have to buy a good one, not one from Chinese stores that some even heat water and smell bad.
Russell Hobbs Slice Toaster is also great
>which is the most probable to be a fire hazard?
The original of course. It is basically coal or wood filled tube surrounded by water tank, knock it down accidently and you have a fire, loose some sparks through top opening and you have a fire. Generally you don't want to use it indoors, and if you reeeally do want that sweet indoor teaaussy, you stick chimney onto samovar and into window and operate samovar with caution not inlike one with wood stove.
Thats why there are mostly electric ones in cities, but, again, electric one is just glorified kettle, and they are rare because no one bothers with them.
Samovar

This beautiful shit is more of a cultural le souvenir.
Speak for yourself, I often boil some vodka in samovar for my bear, he plays balalaika better when drunk.
I think I have a miniature souvenir version somewhere. Not sure if it’s functional.
I prefer alarm clocks with time projection on the celling, can't believe I ever lived without them.
