Sure, buildings are modified all the time. But, in most countries, some attention is paid to the exterior appearance. In Russia, it looks as if only the bare minimum is done. “I live on the inside, not the outside” seems to be the mantra.
Russia is a poor country (as far as the citizens are concerned), so this attitude is understandable. However, it is hilarious how “bare minimum” is achieved in Russia.
The last picture, well I’ll be generous and say I believe they are fixing the foundation. But the barrels are still funny.
Picture 8, the window. That is so bad that it’s definatly funny. And 9 is ludicrous. I don’t get 5 at all: false front? 2 is just bad measuring. The half staircase is great, but my fav is #1. That’s got to be a fast, rear escape door for a drug dealer. Wonder what it looks like on the inside?

You have to look at the danger in some of those modifications.
The guys driving the ground rods could have saved a lot of trouble. I’m betting they could have pulled that loader closer and with the one guy holding the rod the other could have slowly lowered the bucket and pushed the rod in the ground with the weight of the loader bucket.

Maybe the Russians are just artsy?

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin’ out maxin’ relaxin’ all cool
And all shootin’ some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin’ making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said ‘You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air’
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, ‘I might as well kick it’.
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.
But wait I hear they’re prissy, wine all that
Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don’t think so
I’ll see when I get there
I hope they’re prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain’t trying to get arrested
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought ‘Naw forget it’ - ‘Yo homes to Bel Air’
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie ‘Yo homes smell ya later’
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

Fredex:
Actually, no, you probably can’t use the front end loader in the manner you described, unless the ground is exceedingly soft. The rod would just bend as you applied pressure with the bucket. (You don’t have to trust me on it, although I have driven more than one ground rod in my life time, and I regularly use a front end loader for other-than-OSHA-approved uses)
The building on the barrels - they probably used the barrels as forms for concrete columns. Bridge and pier builders around the world occasionally use a similar technique, using corrugated metal cylinders as concrete forms and leaving them in place for structural reinforcement. Steel is far more resistant to abrasion and certain chemicals than concrete.
I don’t see the problem in #5-6 - I wish someone would explain it.
