Funny thing is there are stories that at Naval Bases near St Petersburg in which had rather high cliffs nearby where during one of the inspection they were ordered to be painted some color that alludes me this morning, but it was one of those wasteful things that was kept up to help occupy time of the sailors when they didn't have much else to do.
Much like soldier in the Ukraine who would be used as general laborers on the local collectives to harvest bumper crops...
