So who turned out to be right?
Our gallant general, who claimed in his video address that the goods supplied under his contracts are so expensive because they are high quality?
Or the National Guard of Russia (Rosgvardiya) itself, which said the same thing:
The shady food supplier “Friendship of Peoples,” which sued me and the ACF (Anti-Corruption Foundation) and now brings stacks of documents to every hearing about how wonderful their onions and potatoes are? So what if they cost four times more — at least the quality is great!
Or us, who said from the very beginning: Rosgvardiya troops were being fed rotten food before, and they still are? The only difference is that now Zolotov is buying that same rotten food at several times the price.
Let me remind you that the post of mine that started all this was titled “Rosgvardiya’s Potatoes.”
They made a logistics officer the scapegoat — the one who accepted this rotten produce — even though criminal proceedings should be opened against those who signed the contract with “Friendship of Peoples,” whose owner, let me remind you, is a former subordinate of Zolotov.
And it’s not just the potatoes. Everything there is like that. People from all over the country are sending us photos of these “expensive but high-quality products.”
Should the carrots in the photo really cost several times more than they do in a store?
Army General Viktor Zolotov has the answer.
By the way, take a look at the address to Zolotov from a Rosgvardiya warrant officer from the Chelyabinsk region. He was fired for criticizing his superiors, and they even circulated a leaflet about him among the personnel. Basically: look, he criticized us and lost everything.
