How is this a staged picture if it's actually an interesting location and view? It's not like they're pretending they're actually at the maldives.

mmmm no they are not. The place is literally (colloquially) called "Novosibirsk Maldives" and many of the posts acknowledge their location and even tag the power station in the post: https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/199067307495333/...
