These pictures are not from the Soviet past or an earlier period of Russian history. They have been taken in the XXI century, in the present days of social networks and selfie craziness.
Well, this is the Arkhangelsk region of Russia. Some steamshop and its workers. Their task sounds simple: they need to warm the workshops and other premises on the territory of the steamshop.
The photographes are not staged. This is how they really work here. By the way, the women consider themselves to be lucky and even twice lucky. First of all, in freezing temperatures logs become much lighter compared to that during snowfalls when logs are covered with sticky snow. Secondly these logs do not contain much birch wood which is heavier than fir wood. That is why they even have a chance to rest for awhile.
Now the logs should be transported to furnaces.
