So would they store the launcher in those containers or is a building ready for storage?

In CSG the Soyuz-ST are stored in containers in open air for months, and sometimes for several years. I guess it will be the same in Vostchnyi.

Work at  Russia's new $ 3 billion spaceport in  the Far East has ground to  a halt after a  critical piece of  infrastructure was discovered to  have been built to  the wrong dimensions, and  would not fit the  latest version of  the country's Soyuz rocket, a  news report said.

The workers are they new trainees, or moved from Baikonur?

The guys in blue seem to be from the Progress plant.  I suspect that at least the managers aren't new.

The serial number of the launcher seems to be P15000-001.
Is there a new numbering sequence for vehicles launching out of vostochnyi?

well they are modified versions with design enhancements taken from CSG's Soyuz-ST requirements and the new requirements to operate at vostochnyi

Anyone knows when will the Wet Dress Rehearsal be done?

(the Russians have done that before the 1st Soyuz-2, Angara and Angara A5 launches)

Let's hope the payloads actually separate from the Volga stage this time. Remember last December? They should've fixed that problem by now.

Yes, because it is 372РН16, not 14А14-1А.

Изделие 372РН16 для космодрома «Восточный» создана путем адаптации базовой РН «Союз-2» этапа 1а (14А14), используемой на космодромах «Байконур» и «Плесецк», к условиям эксплуатации на космодроме «Восточный».
Изделие 372РН16 имеет следующие отличия от базовой РН «Союз-2» этапа 1а, используемой на космодромах «Байконур» и «Плесецк»:
–   доработаны места вывода дренажей окислителя и горючего блока III ступени, центрального блока, дренажей окислителя боковых блоков для установки пароотводов под МБО;
–   установлены новые ХИТ БАС-V, не требующие использования ЗАС;
–   установлена новая БЦВС «Малахит-7»;
–   установлена облегченная БКС СУ;
–   установлены новые БСИУЗ;
–   установлена новая радиотелеметрическая система РТСЦМ-1;
–   установлена высокоскоростная абонентская аппаратура ретрансляции;
–   установлена бортовая аппаратура средств видеоконтроля.

What's about first time of Volga on Soyuz 2-1a? More challenging environment compared to Soyuz 2.1v due to the boosters I guess. New hardware or some additional tests maybe?

What about issues related to the new launch site? Is there any particular problem for the first mission of the Soyuz 2 1A from a new location?
I'm thinking about mision-specific flight profiles or issues related to lack of ground visibility windows during the rocket/upper stage burns.
