In the apartments build in the USSR the bathroom is divided between a little room with only the toilet and another with the bath/shower and sink. I always found it kinda mildly annoying whenever i was visiting because to wash your hands you have to change rooms. But I think (my guess, I don't really know) it was build that way because the apartments were meant for 3 people and you don't want to block access to the toilet if somebody's in the shower or vice-versa.
