"40 thousand roubles plus bonuses is really great especially at the time of crisis"- says Nikolai our fellow-traveler from Armavir.  It is great because I got 12 thousand at my previous job. Tunnellers get 10 thousand more because their job is much harder. By the way, there are many of them from Kabardino-Balkaria here.
