Thanks I'll read about him. Yes russians (and many other slavic folks) are forced manage available resources and optimize them, make sure that exploitable things last as long as possible, repair it whenever possible even if it's a cheap junk (especially applies to old soviet/early russian cars and trucks that can be fixed easily and passed to your grandchildren), they approarch things in a militaristic/utilitarian kind of way (like these sturdy commieblocks with central heating that are easily repairable and can even withstand shelling), treat things with care, stitch holes in old clothes, they never throw away old outdated stuff and utilize it beyond its limits (sometimes even worship it if it's some 90s Mercedes or some old japanese electronic device), they're kinda similar to japanese people who still use fax machines and web 1.0, unlike americans who are obsessed with consumerism, latest cool trends, reckless spending, debts and leaving nothing behind. They lived through bloody revolutions and collapses which definitely affected their mentality. Russian/soviet scientists are very underappreaciated (soviets did a lot for space tech) because being a sientist in USSR was very highly praised and rewarded (which was even reflected in soviet movies where a role models were either working class men with families or scientists who got hot girls and even the best soviet sports champions earned less), many of them moved to USA during the collapse and even worked in Microsoft, Silicon Valley.

Russians are still working with legacy stuff instead of throwing it away and moving on (for instance currenly they're making Windows 95-98 work with the modern internet and software).
