Comrades! Cast your gaze upon the spectacle of the Moscow province, where the working man is forced to stand in wretched queues, pleading for a pittance of fuel. The Governor, one Mr. Vorobyov, dares to proclaim that the situation is 'under control.' Ha! What a grotesque piece of bourgeois theatre! While the toiling masses shiver in line, the high officials assure us that everything shall proceed 'as planned.'

Pray, observe the audacity of these gentlemen! They speak of 'normalisation' whilst the proletariat's patience is stretched to the breaking point. Is it not evident that this is the very essence of exploitation?

Even the Vice-Premier, Mr. Novak, admits to an 'artificial rise in demand'—a phrase that serves only to mask the greed of the fuel monopolies. By creating a phantom shortage, the capitalist interests incite panic, driving the demand up by some twenty to thirty per cent, thereby tightening the noose around the neck of the common citizen. They speak of 'sufficient volumes' of fuel, yet the fuel remains locked away in the coffers of the financial capital, awaiting the most profitable moment to be released.

They prattle on about 'reorganising logistical links'—a mere euphemism for the slow, grinding machinery of a system that prioritises the profit of the few over the survival of the many.

Mark well the tragedy of Crimea and Sevastopol, where the yoke of scarcity has become an absolute shackle. The sale of fuel has been halted entirely for the people, while the pampered servants of the state—the bureaucrats and their lackeys—continue to glide about in their carriages, exempt from the misery they have wrought. This is the true face of the bourgeoisie: the worker starves, while the master feasts upon the scarcity he himself created!
