The Soviet Army very much operated on the idea of providing cooked meals for units or shared ration packs rather than allowing the troops comprehensive individual ration packs. Something to do with removing the self-sufficiency that would allow them to desert if I remember right.
As such, the units were also expected to forage for or purchase extra foodstuffs from the local area and I believe garrisons actually operated their own farms.
That means there might be a large number of Soviet field kitchens available for reuse.
