Russkies are good at transporting everything by train. Problems arise once the tracks end, as palletization isn't really a concept the russkies fathom. Loading/unloading goods by hand isn't efficient but fits the Russian way to do everything: labor (read: forced conscripts) is cheap and anyone is expendable. As a rule of thumb: they manage 100-150km from where the tracks end and thats about it. That is one big reason they are so keen on building track network to occupied territories.
