The police department for the Kurortny District is buying two massage chairs for 200,000 rubles The Ministry of Internal Affairs department for the Kurortny District wants to buy 2 massage chairs at a price of 100,000 rubles each. According to documents published on the government procurement website, the chair must be a Concord brand model (or its equivalent). The chair’s computer memory must contain 360 different combinations of the following massage types: “Kneading,” “Tapping,” “Rhythmic,” “Wave-like percussion,” and “Fist.” In addition, the chair must be able to perform automatic massage of the lower and upper body: as stated in the technical specifications, the lower-body massage is intended to relieve tension in police officers’ lower backs, as well as relax “every corner of the lower back, reaching all the way to the tailbone.” The upper-body massage must completely “relax the neck, shoulders, and head.” Finally, the chair must be able to massage the heels of these crime fighters, and the footrest must extend 26 cm (10.2 inches) forward—apparently for maximum relaxation. The tender results will be announced on November 17. http://www.fontanka.ru/2011/11/09/107/ The order really does exist. I checked.
