I thought only the elites could even hope to buy stuff like that.

Now the staff has to dust it once a day so nobody will notice no one has bought anything for over 2 years because of the increases in taxes, grocery prices, and interest rates----but not wages.

I saw a lot of empty shelves in one store without corresponding merch on the floor.

I posyted because this is a disaster for Petropavlovsk-Kanchatsk and another headache for Putin which he's going to try to pretend doesn't exist with the predictable result.
