Russia is re-instituting the Soviet era system of "Quality Mark" to highlight Russian domestic products and increase sales in the light of foreign sanctions. In the Soviet Union, the quality mark had been for 2-3 years. No word on the duration of the new consumer certificate.

Well, that’s one way to excuse price inflation . . . .

Sometimes I think the old joke is true:

The problem isn’t that the Russians were communist. The problem is that the communists were Russian.

They’re going to bring back the good ol’ GULAG soon too. Ah, those were the days when Russia had STRONG leaders who didn’t tolerate any nonsense.

Hate to tell ya but in Russia, nobody thinks Rostest or GOST standards mean a damn thing except that someone paid a bribe to get the certificate.

Russians aren’t stupid, you know.

All this will do is PO the average Russian female looking for something good in the supermarket.
