Since when? And where?
Are you talking about apartments? Public restrooms or what? Because that's news to me. I didn't see anything like that during my last trip to Moscow and didn't see it any time before...
Wait a minute...I think I saw something like that once, and it was in some Southern region of (then) S.U.
In the apartments are used very often (my wife and I also use, because plumber is expensive )
In public places, almost always has a basket, but do not necessarily use it.

Are those NEWER apartments (i.e. less than twenty years old) or what?
And what area do you live in?
Usually it does not depend on the quality of plumbing. It is rather a tradition that formed in those times when the toilet paper in Russia was of poor quality and poorly soluble in water.
But we always wash the dishes under running water without closing the sink drain.

What are you talking about? Toilet paper in Russia was never "soluble," yet back in Soviet day it was going straight in the toilet, there was no such thing as "baskets" for this purpose - nowhere. ( As I've mentioned, I saw it only once - I think in one of the republics.)
Let me guess; did you grow up already somewhere in the 90ies?
I've left the country two years after you were born. Up to that point it was unheard of.
Perhaps, this is due to wear and tear communications 90s. when the pipe repair almost failed.
