== The ButterGate scandal ==
[[File:Butter.jpg|thumbnail|center|400px|I used to be more interested in Russia, but the [https://www.newsweek.com/russians-resort-stealing-butter-amid-shortages-1976575 ButterGate] scandal put a damper on that.

The price of a block of butter has risen by 25.7 per cent since December, according to the state statistics service.
