I know you do not believe this:Do they even have enough paper to support all those toilets?
- In the poor areas (90% of the geographical area in Russia they use the paper two or three times. They use it as people use it and then put the paper in a bucket. It dries and then they use it again.
- In those areas, there are no newspapers, because nobody sells newspapers. But when the children come from the big cities; Moskva or St Petersburg, or another city with some ½ million inhabitants they bring newspapers for their eg. grandparents. So babushka uses those newspapers in the toilet. There she sits and reads an old newspaper and learns that the inflation was huge half a year ago. And she thinks: "That is not a problem as I eat the same cabbage soup that I always eat. I make the soup of the cabbages that grow in my backyard..."
What I mean => Those babushkas in those poor villages are not panicking because of the war. But those that live in the cities are in deep shit, because they can't grow anything! And when it is cold and no electricity -it is cold in the houses too, because you can't make a fire in St Petersburg in your living room in a multistore house.
