Russian YouTube vlogger Marina investigates the alleged egg shortage in Russia at a Globus supermarket in Moscow, finds that the shelves are fully stocked and prices are only slighter higher than they were two months ago.

Their stores even look in better shape than ours anymore, and stocked quite nicely. That’s embarrassing to be quite honest.

What a funny narration. She sounds like a Russian visitor to an American supermarket in the 60s or 70s. Such a combination of breathless amazement and pride in Russia. No hint of dismay at all their young men getting killed in Ukraine.

But their display of salmon is amazing! I'd love to see such an assortment of salmon for sale here. All we get is the very mediocre Atlantic salmon and occasionally wild Pacific salmon at unbelievably high prices. Link to Salmon Section.

Zeepers pushing propaganda stories like crazy.

It’s one store. Makes one wonder if all stores are similar.

[protoconservative]

The prices paid at the store have zero relations to the actual cost of fish. The amount extorted by the states, the producer, the transporting the catch from the fishingboat offloading to the the grocer’s wholesaler is amazing. Grolier might also vary markup by 150% to control volume so that limited supply goes at a high price.

Please remember that this is Russia. Moscow will always get first priority on all goods. The real test is what is available many miles away from Moscow.

Does РАКИ = Crawdads? (the best snack for beer)

[ProtectOurFreedom]

LOL...Google translate says “РАКИ” means “cancer.”

[babble-on]

Potemkin egg-shelves

[null and void]

Yes, but they don’t look like crabs!

[billakay]

Yes, ‘Raki’ are (plural) Crayfish (as we call them here in the Northeast US). Incidentally, the work for ‘cancer’ in the context of the Zodiac is also ‘Rak’, as is the word ‘cancer’ in the context of the disease.

Well the Good news for the US...it means after we play around with communism it is possible to get back to good times.

Yeah… but they don’t have nearly the excitement we have when seeing shoplifters running in and out of the stores.

Those are not Russian eggs. They are from Azerbaijan, which has just increased its export of eggs to Russia.

[ought-six]

The eggs were imported from Azerbaijan.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Those are not Russian eggs.

Half the produce in our local supermarkets comes from south america...

I guess you are pointing out how well Russian trade is going these days.

[ought-six]

No.

The OP — a well-known FR Russian propagandist — naturally left out the fact the eggs were not Russian, but were from Azerbaijan.

OK, I see now.

You were pointing out the effective leadership of Putin, quickly resolving a shortage through free trade. Agree.
