I don’t think that there was gas or oil left.
Such crafts are made from parts found in the trash.
It is unlikely that someone will throw the working part into a landfill, in Russia this is not accepted.
The habit of storing old (even unusable) pieces of iron in the garage is at the instinct level, from Soviet times, when car ownership was equated to capital ownership.

You now have a stove. You have to chop wood.
Here is another sample of Russian ingenuity SAFE AX.
The guy on the screen speaks Russian, so in short:
Wheel from a light truck . As a chopping element, a piece of an old spring from a truck or a light tractor. It is sharpened like a blade and mounted with a sharp edge up. Double-sided sharpening, otherwise the log is skewed. Everything is very functional, very simple and almost free.
PS if anyone has the question "why are there cartoons?" - Do not worry, just advertising, the guy decided to make some money.

I like that one! We call them wood splitters.
I split a lot of wood in New Hampshire and Maine as a kid. My back is still strong and trouble-free at 55 as a result of it. We used 10 cords to heat our house, and I did it for others too for money.
I just looked it up. A cord is 3.62m^3, so I did 36m^3 at home and at least that for my job. With hammer, maul, and wedge. No hydraulic splitter. We couldn't afford one.
That's how you stay warm with no coat up they-uh...
