This is not the Russian solyanka that is soup. This is a simplified Soviet version of stewed cabbage and meat. There is almost no work required here - the cabbage, pork and bacon will do everything themselves. The main thing is to load them together in a large cauldron, put it on the fire and leave it alone for a while.
