About 15 Natsbols (members of Russia’s National Bolshevik movement) staged an action at one of Moscow’s restaurants. The activists ordered food and paid for it with leaflets reading: "Food prices are rising every day! Citizens are unable to provide themselves with even the bare essentials; many are simply starving. And this is in a country literally growing fat on petrodollars. The Stabilization Fund, bloated after years of high oil prices, lies as dead weight in the United States instead of being used to improve citizens’ well-being. The state cannot and does not want to take care of its citizens. In that case, we, the citizens, will take care of ourselves. We are beginning—and call on everyone to follow our example—to eat in expensive establishments without paying the bill. We are not committing a crime; it is sheer necessity that drives us to this step. Those who have no way to feed themselves have that right. Eat for free! * Natsbols" I*n connection with this action, unquestionably a stylish one, there is one question and one assumption: Question: so, no tip either? Assumption: for something like this, they could get the s..t beaten out of them even worse than at the Ministry of Justice. Update: It turned out that the "expensive restaurant" was Yolki-Palki on Pyatnitskaya. Well then. That’s near our office. We splurge there from time to time. gne**zdilov_alex on**saw it with his own eyes
