At first I thought this was a fake United Russia account. Nope, it’s real. The United Russia branch in the city of Serpukhov proudly informs us that, as part of the party project “Strong Family,” organized by the local party branch, forty large families in Serpukhov received five kilograms of bread each for free!
That’s what they’re bragging about. Presenting it as an achievement.
Oh, gee, thank you so much. Five kilograms of bread for free. The large families can have a nice meal while praising United Russia.
And this is even a joint campaign: United Russia and the city administration, which controls public budget funds.
It’s just the perfect illustration of today’s address by Putin. Everything is growing and developing so well that “every desperately needy member of a large family was able to get a loaf of bread absolutely free.”
A State Duma deputy managed to get a salary of 450,000 rubles a month.
Deputy Prime Minister Shuvalov managed to fly his dogs on a private jet.
Sechin, the head of the state oil company Rosneft, managed to earn 2.3 million rubles a day.
And a member of a large family managed to get a loaf of bread. Absolutely free.
That’s all you need to know about the kind of country Putin and United Russia have built over their 17 years in power.
