Russian economy drives unemployed to eat dogs, take over mayor's office
You play with capitalism, you die with capitalism.

Half of the working-age residents of Pikalevo, a city in the Russian Leningradsky Region near St. Petersburg, have been unemployed since winter
Trade union leaders told journalists that there is currently a famine in the city and residents have been forced to eat dogs.
The Wednesday storming was prompted by the shutdown of heating and hot water in the city.
I remember what happened last time things in Russia got this bad. Hopefully they can do it properly this time.
Yet more evidence of how Capitalism is superior to Socialism!:rolleyes:
Seriously though it is simply disgusting to see people reduced to that level. Hopefully this will build into a second revolution.
