It wasn’t just defeats on the battlefield that bought down the tsar it was the price of food. There is a reason Lenin’s main slogan was “Land and Bread” I really hope the situation doesn’t lead to another Russian civil war but if it did I don’t think many would shed tears over it.
I guess the packaging makes it so expensive 🤣
What is that in USD?
Bread and Circus keeps the masses happy. But the circus is costing them a lot of blood and a lot of metal. And now the bread is getting rather pricey as well.
Feel like we’ve seen this signal before.
How long is the wait in line?
bit over 2$ for half a kg … that’s rough
Cheapest bread I can find near me (Great Lakes region USA) – Aldi L’oven brand white bread US$1.55 for 20 oz = 567 grams.
12.99 rubles = US$.17
567 grams (loaf) / 40 grams (slice) = 14.175 Russian slice servings from a US loaf (by weight)
14.175 (servings) * 12.99 (Russian price in rubles) = 184.13325 rubles for a US loaf weight wise
184.13325 rubles (converted to US$ via google) = US$2.35 (versus Aldi at US$1.55)
Russian bread slice shown here is 51% more expensive than a loaf of bread from Aldi’s in Great Lakes region USA.
(Sorry not sorry – I love math if you can’t tell)
Now the important question is WHY? are they selling it by the slice – there could be many answers some very bad for Russia (people can’t afford full loaves in the area the store is in) some much more mundane (maybe its’ convenience – maybe this store is near a workplace and people just want a slice of bread with maybe cheese for lunch and don’t want a whole loaf – and individual slices are going to have a large convenience mark up.) Those are just examples – but it’s at least worth being curious about.
Fun fact: Russia kills more Russians than any other cause! Savages since the inception. They don’t care how many suffer or die, as long as the whims are pursued of whatever president, czar or emperor is in power! FUCK RUSSIA!
On the bright side, you could just buy the slices you need for the day and not have to worry about an entire bread loaf going stale.
The last time Russian stores started rationing bread ….well we all know what happened.
Russians: *This is the best thing since …*
But why? They have plenty of land for wheat, right
To give you an example.
13 rubles are 0.72 Romanian Lei. A bread here is between 2.50 and 4 Lei. For the same amount of money, Russians buy 3 to 6 slices of bread, or around 1/4 of a small bread.
They are really scraping by.
That’s somewhere towards the expenive end for a loaf in New Zealand. Altho that bread doesn’t look like it comes from the expensive range. If you can’t buy bread by the loaf I’d be worried about more than the economy, luckily I dont live in Russia.
The last three years really felt like watching history repeat itself, and it was depressing. But I sure don’t mind this part of history potentially getting repeated!
Package is more expensive than the slice wtf
The price/kg is 3,50€. This white bread is more expensive than in Germany.
Discount for the ends?
Donald Duck meme but real
What a blatant lie – they’re selling it by as many as two slices! /s
but the sanctions do not work. muahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Wartime hard time.
Bringing back that old Soviet glory.
By the slice! 😮
$0.17 a slice
Eh, you don’t want to over buy bread before the regime falls… And that could be any day now! 🤞
I buy bread by the slice in Midas. Let me get back to ya how much I pay for
.17 U.S. cents a slice.
Most stores here have store brand bread (pretty much the same thing as “brand name bread” for like .99-1.29 for a loaf.
Man war has so many facets of hell and disgust were still finding new ones.
I used to give my mre sweets and peanut butter to local kids. Especially when I’d have a box of jelly and peanut butter packets and a box of MRE bread.
You’d think I was giving away diamonds or golden nuggets by how happy they were.
Until we were ordered not to as kids could be suicide bombers and theyd gather in packs around us
As fate would have it, lots of boxes of PB&J packets and MRE bread *accidentally* fell off when I’d see packs of kids. Guess I was a bit jumpy around those potential “suicide bombers”.
We got fed everyday.
They didn’t.
crumbs
Well if Russia has an obesity epidemic 1 or 2 years of this will wipe it out
Sanctions, I spit on your sanctions, they have no effect on the great russian world. Now who’s got a spare potato
This looks like its just bakery bread and that sounds reasonable to me tbh

Everything is fine comrade!
Crazy considering Russia is known for wheat
It wasn’t just defeats on the battlefield that bought down the tsar it was the price of food. There is a reason Lenin’s main slogan was “Land and Bread” I really hope the situation doesn’t lead to another Russian civil war but if it did I don’t think many would shed tears over it.
