Well also Russia is not such a nice environment to grow land... cold winters and hot summers - it must be hard be a peasant there!

Russia is huge and USSR was even bigger. I didn't specify where I was born (on a southern border). The climate is very good for agriculture.
Sill it requires a lot of work. And I doubt that it is possible to be 100% self-sufficient.
There're many things farmer needs that are produced by other people. From tools like shovels to water pumps to animal fodder (which is also very expensive).
It's a nice thing to try though, to prepare oneself for some nasty events. When COVID-19 started I was thinking that if the world comes to an end, at least I'll be able to survive somewhat longer than others with my skills. I know how to grow my food. Didn't do it for a long time, but it's hard to forget the basics.
