Faucet

I know this'll sound annoying, but forgive me because I'm slow.
Why does Russia carry around a faucet? I think I've seen it before in the scanlations, but I can't remember. And try as I  might to go through, I ended up with fruitless results. Does anyone know? Most of my friends have been wondering as well.

It was in the Pact of Steel stripe that is not yet translated. During either WWI or WWII, I can't remember which--Russian soldiers marched south into Europe...and they saw these faucets in the gardens of the Europeans. When they turned on the faucet and saw that water came out, they said "If I have this, I can drink water anywhere!!" and pulled the whole thing out, pipe and everything--and carried it along with them.

Hence the faucet and pipe.

Hahaha oh god that's even better than my friend's Mytishchi monument theory. I'd have loved to see them realise that wasn't how it works!
