After an hour and a half queuing for sugar, or worse still fighting for it in a market, Russians are feeling the effect of shortages caused by an unprecedented cutoff from the world

Muscovites queueing for bread in 1992. Russians are once again having to queue for essentials such as sugar and buckwheat.Muscovites queueing for bread in 1992. Russians are once again having to queue for essentials such as sugar and buckwheat.

Funny, I could say almost the same about the US. We may not have queues but we also don't have anything on our shelves. Nationalism in the US is hurting the US, they just don't want to admit it.

Good! Provides Russians with a little quiet time to reflect on their own complicity in their country’s savage unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

Terrible scenes from Moscow ... sorry, Glasgow

Bread queues in the USSR were always exaggerated, try looking at queues for food banks in UK.

But this is what they are asking for, by supporting Putin and holding onto a toxic nationalistic world view of Russias Soviet history as something to be proud of. They were oppressors and oppressed, but always drank the coolaid. Enjoy the long lines guys. You’ve EARNED IT.

And all of these poor dupes will be blaming the West for the mess they're in. A comforting thought eh?

Well, they have what they longed for. And as with the military, I wouldn't be sure that the supply numbers are corresponding with the reality. I would bet my left shoe that the responsible sold half of it even before the special military operation began.

Why do you post a picture from Soviet times with this headline? Does this not misrepresent the situation? And misinform the public? 🤦🏽‍♀️

😂😂😂😂

Let’s hope a pro democracy revolution is stirring.

- There were literally tonnes of sugar on pallets at my shopping centre grocery store here in Saint Petersburg, Russia, yesterday. Russia produces all the sugar (using sugar beet) that it needs. -

In Italy long queues for food at Caritas ONG..

🇺🇸🇪🇺 They will return to 1929. And they know 😉

Good, take it up with war criminal putin
