Due to the biggest geopolitical catastrophe in the world, the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991, many patriotic Russians are unable to think about the event without sadness. When opening the pages of Russian history books to the chapter about the dissolution of the Soviet Union, many people are unable to not cry. As their tears roll down their faces and fall onto the first few pages of the chapter, the pages become soaked.
A new salt mine based in Kazakhstan called Soltee, which primarily uses traditional means of salt mining (sea, rocks) has increased its output thanks to mining it from Russia’s history books at the chapter about the collapse of the Soviet Union. Upon drying, the pages contain enough salt to make it profitable for the company. Soltee workers go through 1500-2000 Russian history books in a working day, and are able to produce 1.5 tonnes of salt daily.
After the extraction, the books are then shipped back to Russia. The same batch is ready for extraction a few weeks later after enough people have cried over them.
