- mirimir 9y agoBack in the day, post gulag, stipends were greater for those living in places like this. To encourage people to live there. For strategic reasons. But I don't know whether that continues now. > Cars cannot be started without lighting a bonfire beneath the fuel tank. Not under fuel tank, I think, unless diesel fueled. But definitely under crankcase. And not "bonfire", I think. More like hot coals. I used to do that, living in places where -40 C wasn't uncommon.
