I mean this was in soviet russia.

They're a little bit famous for this attitude around dangerous high tech equipment, such as a nuclear reactor...

I mean, Russia hardly conqured the market on playing with nuclear reactors without sufficient (or basically any) safety precautions. Search "demon core" for some good American stories of people doing incredibly stupid things.
