So where I ever I go in Russia most commute blocks will have something similar inside them with most being unplugged, though it’s safe to assume they were fire suppression units

  1. No, I don’t recognize such device.

    In Polish commie blocks in the basement you will find typical electrical distribution boxes and telephone distribution boxes.

    Nowadays also cable tv and fiber optic boxes.

  2. I’ve never seen such a thing, but looking close at the brass plaque I see there the word _”tele”_ which can suggest it could be a part of some telecom system?

    It would help if you could get a better pic of the plaque.
