How the hell would he get up into that thing?
the booth is constructed around them and then raised into the air with a crane, and the support built below
Ladder or steep stairs on the back side of the pole. You can kind of see a handhold railing there.
Gotta imagine that ladder was covered in ice for much of the year.
In Soviet Russia, OSHA violates you
Russia is big, in the south it can easily reach +40 degrees in summer if not more. Can imagine they did not build in air-conditioning back in those days
Assuming this is in fact in Chernivtsi, as the post title says, it's not too bad there. Mean temp falls below freezing for three months out of the year.
Still, probably not fun to climb when there is ice...

Ladder steps kinda thing I reckon.
