下个月索契冬奥会就要召开了,BBC驻莫斯科记者史蒂夫·罗森博格前来采访,在他上厕所的时候他拍下了这张照片。

他在推特上传了这张照片,旁边附加了一句话:“在冬奥会的冬季两项中心发现了双马桶洗手间。” 随后这张照片就开始在网络上疯传。
Although 'dual-toilets' are not common in Russia, social media users managed to post images of other side-by-side toilets from across the country, including ones in a courthouse and a cafe.
尽管“双马桶”在俄罗斯并不常见,但社交网站的网友们都开始纷纷上传全国其他地方的联排马桶,其中包括法院和咖啡厅的洗手间。

同时,也有人把它和俄罗斯禁止“宣传同性恋”引发的争议联系起来,曾有国际运动者因此禁令抵制2月份的冬奥会。
