Maybe Russia needs a new industry? Is there any other nation (North Korea aside) that would let foreigners ship trash to be dumped on their land?

It would have to be kept very, very quiet, since Russia is very sensitive about prestige these days vis-a-vis the West.

Yes, my country - Poland, and what happens is this: 1. Some other country exports its trash to Poland. 2. The trash is stored at a specific place and not a few days go by until an "accidental" fire erupts. 3. The "entrepreneurs" who originally took the trash profit not only from that, but any potential insurance claim. 4. Rinse and repeat.

  Who does profit from it?

    I’ve no idea in practice in this case, but it’s certainly a common trope that organised crime sells expensive but safe waste disposal, then disposes of the waste cheaply and unsafely, and profits.

    1. The company that sent the waste, relative to what they'd pay for a proper disposal. 2. The people that accepted and disposed of the waste, on the difference between how they declared to do it vs. how they actually did it.
