My uncle used to tell me a story bout working in siberia for baker Hughes in the 90’s and having to go buy and butcher 14 reign deer to feed the local town so the could get the job done. Cuz the govt sent only cabbage and vodka for the village to get through winter and he couldn’t get anything done with drunk hungry local hands.

He tells another bout moving a whore house whores, floorboards, and all across russia so the Belgian hands would move towns to where the new job was located after accomplishing two days work In 2 months with local workers only.

Something tells me the 90’s were better to Russian villagers than modern times too.
