"United Russia!" - if you pronounce these words with the proper intonation, it sounds almost the same as “Egyptian power!” Cursing, in a word.
What am I talking about? Oil painting:
Our days. One of the regional centers of the Vladimir region. I deliberately do not mention the name so as not to offend residents of other regional centers in which exactly the same story could happen. Mid December. After heavy snowfall, it was again "around zero". Driving along one of the uncleaned central streets of the city I see a Gazelle cargo truck with colorful posters on board: “United Russia”, “ONF”, the project “New Roads of Russian Cities”.
Judging by the information on the party website, there really is such a project.
People in orange overalls are busily scurrying around near the car. Judging by the car number, they came from the neighboring Moscow region. But why???
Let me remind you: December 13, heavy snowfall, temperature around zero.
Consequences of the work performed:
- rectangular cuts in the asphalt about 10 cm deep, characteristic of “pothole repair”, are almost invisible on the road under the loose mixture;
- work was stopped indefinitely due to weather conditions;
- surprises await motorists in the most unexpected places.
The reasons for such an exotically chosen time for repairs can only be incomprehensible to a foreigner.
For Russians, everything is obvious: the party said “We must.”
"F...ing Russia!" - involuntarily burst out after falling into one of these ambushes.
And I’m not the only one.
