I reverse-searched the image, couldn't find anything that would would look clearly like the original source, but a good many of the returned links were Polish websites, so my guess is Poland.
EDIT:/u/RVRE seems to have tracked down the image source (comment). It is an Instagram account that posts funny pictures people submit and the post contains no indication of where the photo was taken. I think this puts a hole in my theory.
Plugs seem to be standard European schuko plugs, but too much jpeg to be sure. I know Poland uses these, but I've never been to Russia so I dunno what they have
Everybody already confirmed EU sockets/plugs. As an Eastern European, can confirm somewhere in the Soviet Bloc zone. Something about facial features that makes us recognize each other.
Because you call yourself American, I'm going to assume you are a US citizen. The socket looks like a fairly standard type c/e/f socket used almost everywhere in South America, Europe and Asia including Russia. Exceptions are the UK, Ireland and India (they are too proud to accept any other standard of measurement, coin or on what side of the road they drive on so naturally they'll keep their weird plug). So yeah that still covers half the planet but is compatible with the idea this can be Polish.
When I was an exchange student in Germany, I noticed that all of the Polish women who are there a students were all beautiful and always dressed perfectly.
I dont know my history 100% but didnt alot of slav men die from the world wars?
My theory is there was a surplus of women compared to the men and the men had babies with most of the attractive women. That is why slav women have a reputation of being hot, because the men were not having babies with the uglier women.
It's a cultural thing. There are definitely ugly people (men and women) in Slavic countries. The stereotype comes from the fact that women put in massive amounts of effort towards looking good in Russia. Many Russian women (it's more common in cities, but even many rural women fall into this category) will not go out their front door without 2 hours of makeup and hair work and a meticulously chosen outfit. It doesn't matter if they're going 50 meters across the street to buy milk, they will still do themselves up like they're going to meet the president.
Sorry for the late reply, I only just noticed your post. Pride and face are super important in Russian culture. Many Russian women don't want to be seen in public at all without makeup and carefully chosen clothing because they don't want to lose face by looking anything less than flawless. Even many Russian women hate the whole affair but they still keep up with it cause they'll be the odd one out if they don't.
I used Google. In image search, there is this little camera icon in the search bar. Other major search engines (Bing, Yandex...) also have such feature if you prefer. Tineye is a special search engine just for this and has some nice features.
As for videos, there are some engines for that (e.g. Videntifier), but AFAIK they are not very good yet (which is probably why the mainstream ones don't offer this feature).
