Black #caviar — a coveted delicacy, a symbol of prosperity, a Russian brand — has always been an unaffordable luxury for Russians. In Soviet times, black caviar was in short supply, while thousands of tons of it were exported annually. And in modern Russia, sturgeon fishing is prohibited due to the declining population. And you can only enjoy sturgeon (or its caviar) that was grown in artificial conditions. Even in the Astrakhan region — where black caviar has long been mined and where it has always been in almost every refrigerator — only very wealthy people can afford this #delicacy. 100 grams of "black gold" cost an average of 6,000 rubles. And this, in turn, stimulates #poaching, literally pushing local residents to break the law. *** Subscribe to CURRENT TIME.DOC - / currenttimedoc
