            1. @shpuld It’s the cheapest grates. Nutritious, but buckwheat with sausages is considered a poorFluffle Puff-tier meal. Doesn’t suit that palace at all.
              But the video is staged interesting, it summarises well what the Russia was seen like in the past century.

              1. @shpuld Doesn’t suit the palace, but the lifestyle of Russian nouveau riches of the 90s, who kept being stupid, envious and uncultured poormangos inside. I remember an interview with a participant of 1991 happenings, there was a line like ‘…everything collapsed. I once had to visit Yeltsin in his private office. There were dirty dishes and cutlery on the table. I said: “Mr Yeltsin, presidents do not live like that.” ’.

                1. @shpuld Hm? Few like it, I find buckwheat tasty. On par with rice and millet.

                  1. @tijagi it's not bad per se, there are some foods where it's quite nice, but I prefer pretty much everything else over it

I remember an interview with a participant of 1991 happenings, there was a line like ‘…everything collapsed. I once had to visit Yeltsin in his private office. There were dirty dishes and cutlery on the table. The kitchen and simple dishes were in the next room. I said: “Mr Yeltsin, presidents do not live like that.” ― “Then how do they live?”, he asked me. From here we started to bring things in order’.

                1. @tijagi @shpuld Is there a book or any kind of recompilation that tells the aftermath of the end of the Soviet Union and how it affected people? Most things I've read or seen are only about before the fall and how it happened.

                  1. @hfaust @shpuld If you’re interested about the aftermaths, then there is no book, that I could recommend. It’s either liberals blaming communists for being communists, or various conservative patriots blaming liberals for submerging the country into chaos for a decade. If you want a summary of what aftermaths followed, I could name several important ones from my memory.
