    Sverdlovsk, 1989: "NO VODKA, NO PEACE!"

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-NUvUGbSBw

    Google translation: "Negative phenomena in the Soviet planned economy during the periods of 'stagnation' and perestroika, one of the consequences had a massive deficit for most goods, some of which could only be bought strictly rationed, 'according to coupons', but in Sverdlovsk in the last days of
    1989, before the New Year holidays, the crisis in supply, for the first time led to the fact that it was impossible to buy even goods distributed
    'according to coupons'. The lack of wine and vodka products caused
    particular discontent."

    Their has been a distinct absence of Russian trolls recently. I do
    hope something unspeakable has happened to them.
