While your comments about white label ATMs do ring true, this isn't one - it's from Bank VTB, one of the largest banks in Russia. On top of that, it's a Wincor Nixdorf ProCash machine, which are the top of the line, as ATMs go (probably not obvious to you, but that machine has a variety of features to prevent card cloning, PIN theft, etc.)

They're very expensive, and WN has engineers to install them in every country. Unfortunately, said engineers are pretty useless, which would explain why it hasn't been activated.
