Market trip - know-how in the style of Khrushchev
Baku/23.08.19/Turan: Deputy Prime Minister Ali Ahmedov, accompanied by an army of pro-government press, unexpectedly raided the capital markets. Imitating either Internet bloggers or trading forwarders, he wisely asked the same question on every corner: how much does it cost? No, expensive. He walked this way for half an hour.
Spectators for a long time could not understand the meaning of what was happening and the purpose of the event itself. However, by the end of the report it became clear that the deputy prime minister himself did not understand this meaning.
Criticizing prices on the market, the deputy head of the government did not explain why prices were high, and did not ask these questions to the minister of agriculture and market administration accompanying him. Ahmedov expressed pleasant surprise that prices there are by 5-6 times lower than in the markets.
What did the deputy prime minister mean by this? Is not there order in the country? Can the traders do what they want? Does not the country have government agricultural policy?
Apparently, Ali Ahmedov was instructed to show that the authorities care about citizens. Well, the Deputy Prime Minister decided that this should be done in this form. Presumably, the effect of the task will be exactly the opposite: people will once again see the level of members of the government, their understanding the laws of a market economy, the results of deep reforms, how it improves the welfare of citizens.
In the era of developed socialism, Soviet leaders periodically made "unexpected" visits to shops and markets, while trade workers were pointedly criticized for deceiving citizens and poor service. Immediately after that, for a short time, something appeared on the shelves, but then disappeared.
Khrushchev was very fond of such trips, when the main food products disappeared in the country.
Heydar Aliyev also visited shopping facilities. It is difficult after this to disagree that the current government sacredly continues the work of its leader. -02B-

On the eve of a large-scale flood approaching Baku, a disturbing incident occurred in the village of Buzovna, where a Lada Priora car fell into the ground, literally collapsing the road beneath it. The driver miraculously remained unharmed but vowed to seek justice, promising to file an official complaint with the prosecutor’s office against Azersu OJSC, the state-owned water supply and sewerage company, often associated with deeply rooted corruption.

In a bit of historic irony, powerful oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili has managed to inspire rare unity across Georgia’s cacophonous political scene twice in his life. His money and influence forged the broad-based consolidation of opposition forces that brought him to power in 2012, and now, 12 years and three electoral cycles later, a similar pattern of opposition convergence could send him packing.

Russian authorities and pro-Kremlin influencers have been spreading false information about alleged Reporters Without Borders (RSF) research into Nazi tendencies within the Ukrainian military, which was featured in a viral video falsely attributed to the BBC. RSF exposes the inner workings of a disinformation campaign designed to justify President Vladimir Putin's war narrative.
