What you need, coming from…
Two devices that behave oppositely. A charger takes any supply, so only the plug shape matters. A hair dryer is built for one voltage, and the wrong one destroys it.

|---|---|---|
| China | Adapter | Adapter |
| Russia | Nothing needed | Nothing needed |
| United Kingdom | Nothing needed | Nothing needed |

What the two references say
This site grades a country by comparing two general references rather than merging them. Where they disagree we show both and say so, because a reconciled number with the disagreement hidden is the failure mode this whole dataset is built against.
