In reference to this article...there was a Russian article indicating that the Russian government is ordering university students to spend their vacation times working on the bridge...trying one to complete it and two trying to keep the costs down....but student labor always comes with the BUT...construction quality goes inherently downward to non existent....

BUT it smacks of the Soviet days when students harvested potatoes and grain for free as part of their Soviet university life......
