[00:17:47] The most interesting thing is to read comments in public Russian
[00:17:50] pro-Kremlin media, if only because in the media themselves you won't
[00:17:54] see any criticism of the Russian authorities. Let's take, for example,
[00:17:57] the VKontakte page of the Mesh Telegram channel. A week
[00:18:00] ago, they published Vladimir Putin's reaction to the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the warehouses
[00:18:04] of the Wildberries marketplace. Putin stated that...
[00:18:37] pretends, even alcoholic Yeltsin had enough drunken
[00:18:41] brains to leave, this one turned our life into a horror
[00:18:44] movie, but he clung to his seat with a death
[00:18:47] grip, everything is temporary, everything is normal, the war
[00:18:50] will end soon, the next term of the tsar is minimal, live and God
[00:18:54] forbid condemn the tsar. Putin is great, he lived badly
[00:18:58] before 2014 and before 2022, he wanted
[00:19:01] some action. In the comments under the video of Russian regional
[00:19:05] TV channels about the fuel shortage, they seem
[00:19:08] to compete in sarcasm, here, for example, comments under the video
[00:19:11] of the Nizhny Novgorod TV channel Seti NN, reporters on June 19
[00:19:15] reported on the excitement at Nizhny Novgorod
[00:19:17] gas stations. Hurray, we are no longer a country,
[00:19:20] a gas station. It was the twenty-seventh year of
[00:19:23] competent rule, we just need to be a little patient and
[00:19:27] we will get used to the new prices. This is
[00:19:29] a negative breakthrough. Thanks to our great
[00:19:33] geostrategist. We were promised that Europe would be without fuel,
[00:19:36] although Nizhny is geographically located in Europe,
[00:19:40] Europe is freezing and rotting, most importantly, and we have everything on fire.
[00:19:43] Look, there's tension in the world, turbulence, explosions, and we
[00:19:47] have stability. This is what we need to cherish. Reasons for memes
[00:19:51] in the comments are the statements of Russian officials. The last
[00:19:54] comment is literally a quote from this statement
[00:19:57] by the chairman of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin.
[00:20:00] Look, there is tension in the world,
[00:20:03] turbulence, explosions, and we
[00:20:06] have stability. This is what we need to cherish,
[00:20:10] by the way, this Nizhny Novgorod TV channel decided not to
[00:20:13] release such stories about queues for gasoline anymore, but instead
[00:20:17] showed how the governor of Nizhny Novgorod region Gleb
[00:20:20] Nikitin checks the availability of gasoline at gas stations, and of course, he
[00:20:23] found gasoline, here's what they wrote in the comments under this
[00:20:27] story: Nikitin visited one gas station,
[00:20:31] in Nizhny there is only one gas station, didn't Glebushka overwork himself,
[00:20:34] comrades, by the way, how about showing us a real picture of the city, and
[00:20:38] not this clown show: you run around, deal with things, suddenly you
[00:20:41] didn't bother, you can't argue with the governor,
[00:20:45] how much longer can you lie, the government has lied itself out, who are they lying
[00:20:49] to, themselves? people get 30 liters in one hand, and he has no
[00:20:53] fuel problems, of course he has no problems, and
[00:20:56] we have no polite words for them. Nikitin
[00:21:00] published a video about the absence of fuel shortage on his VKontakte
[00:21:03] page, and then in the Nizhny Novgorod region, simultaneously with Nikitin's
[00:21:06] bravura statements, they introduced a schedule for selling gasoline by car
[00:21:10] numbers, an odd-even system, and despite
[00:21:13] the fact that in the censored VKontakte, comments with outright
[00:21:16] insults to the Russian authorities are, of course, deleted, in
[00:21:20] the comments under Nikitin's video there is literally a census
[00:21:22] of the discontented. And will cars of municipal
[00:21:26] authorities also be refueled on even or odd days, otherwise in
[00:21:30] the districts they refuel without a queue as emergency services, and it happens
[00:21:34] more than once. A week ago everything was fine with you,
[00:21:38] it didn't just resolve itself, people are already at their limit. You, as
[00:21:41] a representative of the ruling party, explain why fuel
[00:21:44] supplies abroad continued until the last minute, although there was
[00:21:48] already a shortage in the domestic market. There is no shortage, so
[00:21:52] we will release by numbers. And also under the previous post, we
[00:21:56] were told that there is no ban on pouring into canisters, so now we
[00:21:59] have lifted the ban that didn't exist, but only at Gazprom.
[00:22:03] Russians in the comments are no longer shy and are not afraid to
[00:22:06] openly ridicule how reality differs from what
[00:22:10] is shown on TV. I read hundreds of comments under videos
[00:22:13] of Russian TV channels on YouTube and VKontakte, two
[00:22:17] phrases from propaganda were especially well
[00:22:20] remembered by Russians, the main thing is not to move away from
[00:22:23] the TV for long, everything is always fine there, this is the goyda
[00:22:27] movement, this is goyda or a breakthrough, goyda,
[00:22:31] movement, something happened, we are simple people, not interested in
[00:22:34] politics, goyda, we deserved this with our
[00:22:37] silence, when there is gasoline, we are bored,
[00:22:41] stagnation, we want movement, vote for
[00:22:45] United Russia and Putin so that the movement never ends,
[00:22:48] comments will do. and movement can be found literally under
[00:22:52] every video about gasoline shortages or now about
[00:22:55] attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the warehouses of the Wildberries company on YouTube, you
[00:22:58] probably remember the authors of phrases that have become winged,
[00:23:02] you know, when everything is calm, measured,
[00:23:06] stable, we are bored,
[00:23:09] stagnation, we want movement,
[00:23:13] fear us, we are coming,
[00:23:16] goyda!
[00:23:19] And comments! about goyda and movement after the attacks on the warehouses of
[00:23:22] the Wildberries marketplace became so numerous that on
[00:23:26] the marketplace's own VKontakte page, these, as well as any
[00:23:30] other posts criticizing the war, administrators simply started
[00:23:33] deleting them, but, for example, Mesh still doesn't delete them,
[00:23:37] so let's end the story with a couple more comments about
[00:23:40] the president, a user of the social network, which is managed
[00:23:44] by the son of the deputy head of the presidential administration of Russia, Sergei
[00:23:47] Kiriyenko. A television chatterbox.
[00:23:52] how tired he has become over all these years, how many years they have been showing the same face as
[00:23:55] responsible for making decisions, will I really
[00:23:58] die, and he will still be president,
[00:24:02] awful, first impeachment, then tribunal,
[00:24:05] or vice versa, the old man reads from a piece of paper how great
[00:24:09] everything is with us and we are winning, it's completely insane,
[00:24:12] especially against the background of burning warehouses in Alberis and an oil refinery,
[00:24:15] someone call a doctor
[00:24:17] for him.
[00:24:21] There's a whole city underground here, you could say, that is, the lower floors are all
[00:24:25] flooded, the upper ones are open, you can enter on one mountain, walk several kilometers
[00:24:28] underground, well, through these mines, and exit on another
[00:24:31] mountain, that is, there's an underground city here, it was all
[00:24:35] developed and mined from 1800-something.
[00:24:39] добывалось,
[00:25:50] 59 years old, he is one of the oldest loaders at the market, but in this
[00:25:54] profession age doesn't matter, you have to work on
[00:25:57] par with the young.
[00:26:00] We started this job out of desperation. There was no other
[00:26:03] job, and you need to feed your family, children and grandchildren, so I became a trolley pusher.
[00:26:19] One of the features of the eastern market are porters or, as they are called here,
[00:26:22] trolley pushers, people who carry goods for
[00:26:26] customers on their trolleys for small money. Thousands of
[00:26:29] people are employed in this work at the Karasu market.
[00:27:04] The Karasu market is the largest in the south of the country, the second largest market in
[00:27:07] Kyrgyzstan, its area is more than 20
[00:27:10] hectares.
[00:27:18] The shopping rows resemble the streets of a big city, it's easy to get
[00:27:21] lost here. The bazaar sells everything from clothes to household appliances
[00:27:25] and groceries. The market feeds hundreds of thousands of people in the city
[00:27:29] of Karasu itself and its surroundings.
[00:28:32] today I've already made three trips and earned 450 som, which is about
[00:28:36] 5 dollars, if I make a couple more trips by evening,
[00:28:39] good, then you can say the day was successful.
[00:28:53] I walk past this chocolate row every day on my way home, the row is very
[00:28:57] long, all the goods are mainly from
[00:28:58] China, come here.
[00:29:05] The biggest sales happen on Tuesdays and Saturdays, mainly wholesalers come,
[00:29:09] buy entire trucks and export goods to different cities, then
[00:29:13] we have a lot of work, we don't even have time to eat lunch.
[00:29:17] Waking up at 6 am, Nuralli was lucky, he lives on the market
[00:29:20] territory, the owner of the parking lot allocated him a plot for a small
[00:29:23] container, others get to work from nearby villages by
[00:29:27] public transport or
[00:29:28] on foot.
[00:29:35] This is where we live,
[00:29:37] come in!
[00:29:47] Nuralli saves money by eating at home, in summer, when
[00:29:50] it's hot, you can get by with bread and tea,
[00:30:02] my monastery!
