Maria-Tkachev-Antoinette

Governor of the Krasnodar Territory Alexander Tkachev has become one of the most quoted Russian officials over the past 24 hours. As soon as he spoke with a resident of his region “man to man,” the governor was hit with a wave of criticism in blogs. Even the State Duma expressed their negative assessment of what happened.

The reason for the excitement was Tkachev’s advice to a 26-year-old young man “not to whine”, but to change jobs if the salary is not satisfactory. “I work as a medical technology engineer, I earn 15 thousand! How to live?” - Yuri Budilnikov addressed the official on Twitter. “Change jobs,” the governor replied.

I remember that the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, a lover of luxury, balls and unbridled debauchery, responded to the message that her subjects were starving: “If they don’t have bread, let them eat cakes.” After which she was quickly sent to the guillotine by grateful people.

Be careful, Alexander, with your expressions.
