Rust is actually quite common with ships. If you live around a port, you will see ships that have spent substantial time at sea sail in with rust marks all around them. This sight is normal, but it is the US that made it appear abnormal as part of their propaganda drive. So, they’re always hiding their own ships and only enter their ports at night to stop pictures like this from appearing on the web.

Though you have not done QoS (I don't know if you know this ) or sampling but ...Close Substitute Goods in Economics: A Case Study of Russia’s Cola Industry

In economics, close substitute goods are products that serve similar purposes, allowing consumers to switch between them based on factors like price, availability, and preference. A classic example is Coca-Cola and Pepsi—if the price of Coca-Cola rises or it becomes unavailable, consumers may opt for Pepsi instead.

Russia’s Cola Industry as a Case Study

Following Western sanctions and the exit of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo from Russia in 2022, the Russian cola market experienced a shift, leading to the rise of local substitutes. The two main brands that replaced them were:

1. Dobry Cola – Produced by Multon Partners, a subsidiary of Coca-Cola’s former Russian operations, this brand became one of the leading replacements.


2. CoolCola – A product from Chernogolovka, a Russian beverage company, marketed as a direct alternative to Coca-Cola.



Substitution Effect in Action

Consumer Behavior Shift: With Coca-Cola and Pepsi no longer available, Russian consumers switched to these alternatives.

Price and Demand: The new brands gained popularity, and their prices adjusted based on consumer demand and production costs.

Market Adaptation: Local companies capitalized on the absence of international brands, increasing production and marketing efforts to capture market share.



The Russian cola industry illustrates the concept of close substitutes in economics. When a dominant brand exits or its price rises, consumers naturally turn to alternatives. This case also highlights how market forces adjust when external factors (such as sanctions) disrupt supply chains.

I would obviously take Putin on the phone if he calls me.

If Putin can prepare a long table before you when your relationship with him have not deteriorate, I wonder the length of table he'll be preparing now.
