Counterfeit parade

Getting poisoned, brothers. We are upset by the native leadership, which quite rightly believes that if it goes on and further, very soon there will be no one in Russia. Well, that's okay. And who will produce oil, gas? Pushkin? And who will go to the polls and vote for United Russia? Or for any other Russia? (Do not think bad - for the "fair", for example.) In a word, there is something to think about.

According to experts, this year about forty thousand people will die from the use of alcohol -containing drinks in our country. How many are poisoned, but still he will survive, until no one takes to predict. I only note that we are talking about poisoning precisely poor -quality products. Say, if a person has reveled in high -quality vodka and froze on the street, then this is not counted. Today, in Russia, cases of mass poisoning with alcohol -containing drinks are recorded in 11 constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

It is clear that the so -called pale vodka in Russia has always been consumed. At least in my memory. And they always drank cologne. Especially when the state, as in the second half of the eighties, was too zealous to fight the green serpent. If, say, a triple cologne to drink bottles of five in a row, then it is unlikely that it will be possible to survive. And yet, I dare to assume that we collided with such a mass death of people from using all sorts of rubbish for the first time. It was quite official at all levels that the alarm was in all levels. The situation seems to get out of control.

In general, the word "control" is undoubtedly key in this story. In the summer, the state decided to tighten control over the circulation of wine-watering products. As a result, a unified state automated alcoholic turnover system was launched. The result was not long in coming - the system earned, and alcohol disappeared. Everyone fought in different ways with a deficit. Someone, like me, dragged dry wine, returning from a vacation or from a foreign business trip. Most of these citizens survived. Others began to die - who did not buy wine in Duty Free stores, but in nearby stalls. The press has already expressed the point of view that, perhaps, the current situation will serve as a healing of the nation. Say, if a person drinks that he didn’t hit, if a pig, maybe a devil with him ... I would suggest that the supporters of such an approach come up with a more radical initiative and hold a one -time action throughout the country - to throw a batch of cheap vodka, poisoned by cyanide potassium. Well, for sure. As stated in a well -known advertisement, “millions of microbes will die,” but surviving citizens will double GDP in an accelerated time, join the WTO, etc. I'm only afraid that with such a scenario there will still be no one to get gas with oil. Therefore, it should be rejected.

In this whole story there is one positive aspect - the alcoholic crisis has clearly demonstrated that we have already learned to fight with a deficit and market mechanisms work very effectively. So, they told me that in the Tula region, a fluid for wiping the buttercup furniture for 17 rubles for a four-hundred-gram bottle literally supplanted a product with the frightening name “MS solvent” of light green color.

It is clear that the goods “Buttercup” are not counterfeit in the classical sense of the term. It is not written on his label that this is the “Dvin” cognac, but it is just written that this is a liquid for wiping furniture. No formal violation of the law. Just let's not be naive people. Tula law enforcement officers are well aware of why people buy this fluid. And how did she come from. And in what quantities. Because they receive their share from the sale of all this rubbish, which, given the scale of the disaster, is clearly calculated by round numbers. Such that there is enough to share with the locals, and, we must think, with the Moscow bosses. Although, of course, no one disdains counterfeit vodka in Russia today. And in this widespread business, those who prefer the authorities also probably have their own share.

Obviously, in such a situation, it will not be very easy to cope with the problem. Because it is necessary to deal not with counterfeit vodka, but with counterfeit police and prosecutors, surrogate deputies of all levels, a cabinet of ministers, which is even remotely similar to the present. And further on the list ...
