Russia's egg crisis spiraled out of control this week after an attempt was made on the life of the head of a poultry farm in the Voronezh region, with prices for the staple food item continuing to climb.
Gennady Shiryaev, the 59-year-old head of the Tretyakov Poultry Farm, the largest in the western Voronezh region, was driving home when an unknown person fired two shots at his car. Shiryaev told Russian news outlet Kommersant that he wasn't injured in the assassination attempt. "There were two shots, it didn't hit me," Shiryaev said.
Russia has seen an unprecedented surge in egg prices this year against a backdrop of high inflation and sanctions imposed by the West in response to President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
In November, egg prices rose by 40.29 percent year-on-year, according to the Russian Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat).

This is really getting pathetic. So now you warmongers are trying to cloak yourselves in MAGA. Man, you’ve really got a set of balls to try to pull that BS off. Stay with your warmongering GH/N alliance fellow travelers. Real MAGA adherents can smell the Bushite neocon stench all over you Team Uke Corruption tools. We want nothing to do with those responsible for killing off a generation of innocent Uke boys.
Don’t get worked up.
marcusmaximus is a bot.
No sense getting upset about a computer program.
What do you have against a weak Russia in peace negotiations with President Trump?
Watch out!
He likes to dress himself in Ronnie Reagan clothes too.
Liberals liked to call President Reagan “Ronnie” in a sign of disrespect.
When I shook his hand in 1988 I called him Mister President.
If you were around in the 70s and 80s, you’d remember the liberal scum type who derisively called him “Ronnie”.
Weak Russia!?!? WTH are you babbling about? Totally destroyed Ukraine. Depopulated by 30+%. 400,000 dead Ukes, even more wounded. A 100% welfare state relying on the U.S. taxpayer for EVERY expense. It’s cost us a quarter trillion dollars to destroy the country and its military. It will cost trillions to “rebuild”. You warmongers have started a generational, multi trillion dollar new Cold War II arms race. A confrontation in Russia’s front yard, 6000 miles from our bases. NATO is begging patriots from Japan to give our other client (in another DC CF). NATO has been exposed. Russia is fully mobilized, 2000 new tanks this year. 270,000 volunteers and 300,000 mobilized fully trained and supplied waiting in reserve. The ridiculous sanctions have been an absolute windfall for Russia. Diplomatically, in every region of the would but Western Europe and Australia, Russia and China are rolling! I could go on but why? Go ahead, try to contest those points.
The USS had its own egg shortage about a year ago. It ended when small producers jumped into the market en masse.
Bots do not contest points. They spew unrelated answers.
That pussy sure finds that particular cock very unappealing. ;-)
Funny meme but appropriate,
Add inflated rent with inflated food prices and our 75+ population, which average about 1000 a month are being asked to pay 2200 dollar average rents and 150 dollar a week grocery bills. They are usually on medicaid and medicare with food stamps. My dad, who passed away about 10 years ago, needed about an additional 1000 a month to make ends meet for over 7 years. That’s a 1000 a month that didn’t go into my retirement. The official federal inflation rates are about 20% of actual inflation. Just another number used to screw the working class by reducing the buying power of social security. Businesses got rid of pensions in the 80’s and 90’s with the 401K, putting your retirement in the stock market, which used to be considered the riskiest investment outside of a vegas crap game. Yet congress spent 1,700,000,000 more than it collected in 2023. And we keep electing these idiots. You can get thrown in jail for writing a bad check, but you get a life long pension and a special medical plan as a congressman. WTF.
The only reason we’d be looking at peace negotiations with Russia is xiden/zero et al and nutjobs like you.
We had a significant increase in egg and chicken prices a year or two ago. A fowl pandemic was the cause requiring the killing of many hens for medical reasons. Those prices are only now starting to go down. Actually for plain white eggs they are pretty low again. But there are a lot of specialty eggs, like brown, organic, free range, etc. that can be a lot higher. I wonder if Russia is having some bird illness problems?
On the other hand the price for gas at economy stations in the mid Atlantic areas I have driven through in the past two weeks have hovered around the $3.00 mark. Sometimes they are a few cents less, sometimes a few nickles or dimes more. That is for the economy stations. Stations in affluent communities or neighborhoods can be somewhat higher.
Also at Walmart and some other grocery stores the gallon of milk prices are also in the same price range as a gallon of gas. That is for the house brand of whole white, 2%, 1%, and skim milk.
