In the late 80s and early 90s as the Soviet Union was crumbling under the weight of years of economic neglect, the coal miners perhaps had it the worst off. Notably in the far eastern provinces and areas such as Sakhalin, the mining infrastructure were so poor that it would take workers upwards of two hours to get through the tunnels from topside to the actual coal to be mined.
They weren't paid for that time, as it was considered a commute. Some workers crawled and shimmied for two hours each way through rocks likely to someday collapse and crush them all for the privilege of being able to inhale large amounts of coal dust, commute another two hours and then go home to almost nothing.
Compared to that, the Mariners aren't so bad I guess.
This is a depressing preview. I apologize and will now attempt to mitigate those feelings with pictures of baby animals. Always end with a high note.
