The Soviet Union wasn't so poor that indoor plumbing was a foreign concept to them was it...?
Not of later years, though up to 1950 many of the inhabitants were less developed than even in Czarist times, as seen by Red Army astonishment at wristwatches when sweeping over Eastern Europe.
However, up past the First World War, much of Europe, the most developed area on the planet, including Britain [ where much of modern plumbing/sewerage was invented ] and in the USA, most poorer people wouldn't have laid pipes but would rely on wells and pumps.

It's not exactly about being poor or not. Laying pipes that it gets water into your house was something unheard of for many nations, especially places far from cities. In fact there are cities with households not having indoor pipelines for gas, water right now.

A surprising number of places don't have running water or sewage. Hell, a sizeable portion of Dubai still doesn't have sewage connections because the city grew so fast in such a short period of time.

I think the issue is simply that she is a fanatic. Zeal of the convert and all that. She'd probably be just as bad if her fanaticism was religious in nature... actually, she treats the whole concept of Soviet Russia like a religion as it is. Teach her about subliminal messaging, and she'd give the Zuiunists a run for their money.
No, she’s just a hardcore communist. It can be hard to tell the difference.
Fanatical ideologues are often blind to anything that contravenes their worldview but may otherwise be functioning human beings. This is outright having a perception of reality that is noticeably askew from the norm. Or maybe I am reading too much into this.
My goodness. I was racking my brain over what was the deal with the faucet garden. I had my own pet theory that using the air conditioner to pump air into her secret lair was too obvious for her secret spy lair.
So Gangut's clever way of disguising the ventilation was a bunch of faucets, which ended up being even more suspicious.
Comrade Tashkent, what's up with all the taps?Eh? No, Comrade, that's......huh?Oh, these?
I collected them from all around the naval base!But why would you even...Could it be that you've never seen a tap before?Tap! Amazing! I'm taking it with me!Huh?Amazing!!What is this!?Is in two minds over the necessity of interjecting.
MAGICAL ★ STICK
Just by turning the handle there, water comes out!?...and so! As long as I have this, I can get my hands on water, no matter wherever I may be!!
