My personal Russian Redneck story...
A number of years ago, a contractor sent a couple of Russian guys to move a large, loaded equipment rack a few feet in the server room at my office. The server room was a secure area, so I was assigned to just escort and observe them. The equipment rack was bigger and heavier than a refrigerator, and I noticed the guys had no dolly or other wheeled gear to move it. As they were sizing things up and discussing their strategy while speaking Russian, I asked them how they planned to move the rack. The lead guy smiled at me and said in a very thick, Boris Badenov accent "Iss old Russian trick." He then pulled a couple of ropes out of his toolbox, threaded them under the rack, and the two guys hooked their arms in loops in the ropes and were able to easily lift it.
