Russian TYPICAL Supermarket After 8 Months of Sanctions
Hard to argue with real time video, worth watching, unless you are a war cheerleader.
I can’t even imagine what the plan is now. I think the US is looking for a way out.
Looks a lot like the markets I shopped when I worked in Moscow….of course, corrupted western MSM will never show this…..according to them, the Ivan’s are still sitting in long bread lines and getting ready to March into Red Square.
Ping
Broads, booze and bread!
I’d hit it!!! Hell a fella could get laid in Moscow for just a nice roast beef.
I feel for the people.
One of each but pass on the bread. I'm on a diet!
I think the US is looking for a way out.

More importantly, the poor schmucks in the EU and citizens in Ukraine sitting in the dark are finally questioning why they followed a vegetable head into war….the Russian Derangement Syndrome has infected most of the West.
Following anything Biden supports or mandates is evil, designed to destroy America….not to mention his “ down to the last Ukrainian “ agenda. May God help them.
Vid posted 2 weeks ago. Things to notice:
1) No scarcity
2) Plenty of military aged men walking around
3) Some high tech visible in the fruit / veggie weigh gizmo
4) No scarcity, oh, said that
5) Damnned little obesity

Not true, the woman there have much, much, more morals than the current Western woman….or at least when I worked there training Vlad’s for three years.
Don’t buy into the corrupted western media.
What? No empty shelves? The USA has sanctioned itself.
Real, or Potemkin-Mart ?
We have no way of knowing where that photo was taken, when that photo was taken, or whether it is actually a typical Russian supermarket. For all we know was made up on a bogus sound stage somewhere in FSB headquarters.
The Soviets were famous for their Potemkin villages that were there solely for Western photographers/journalists. Islands of prosperity to present the illusion that everything in the Soviet Union was wonderful.
Maybe that's the case here, or maybe that really is a typical Russian supermarket. But there is absolutely nothing here that proves that one way or the other. It tells us nothing about what is really happening.
Keep in mind Russians don’t get paid as much as USA. expressed as a percentage of the average take home we are about even for those costs. And keep in mind sanctions are aimed at the government not Humanitarian stuff like food, medicines, housing, and such.
It looks a heck of a lot better than the USSR days when shelves were bare.
Saker is a pro-Russian propaganda site. I would be careful about generalizing to all Russia based on this one grocery store.
Do not think it was staged.

You could try some geolocation techniques but that’s likely more work than the RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA crowd is willing to put out. It’s easier to just post already made Ukrainian propaganda.
