---- "Caviar, while far from being a staple food at almost 6,000 rubles (about $60) per kilo in December 2023, has shot up by over 50 percent this year to nearly 9,000 rubles per kilo. Could they have picked one single worse example? Caviar? $90 per kilo? Yes please, send a ton! I'll be rich tomorrow.

For a nice comparison, take a peek at this:

Costco caviar prices as of today

Note that a kilogram is something over 35 ounces. Funny how many times propagandists expect one would not look for second sources, and more information.

Tsar Nicoulai Estate White Sturgeon Caviar 4.4 oz at $199 suggests, at the minimum, no one would look further.

And that’s at Costco! Try one of those little shops where rich people spend their money and multiply by 3 to 5.

“Let them eat caviar!” might actually be good advice for people in Russia today.
