Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

Ruski here.
This is still hella expensive. 150 rubles for half a liter of beer is around double (maybe 1.5x for some brands) what they cost in probably most shops, with some being cheaper in alcohol-centered shops.
Some actually imported stuff goes for that price and tastes considerably better.
There's also domestic beer and the like for around the same price (some cheaper, some more expensive) that tastes better, too.
And all in all, considering the incomes and purchasing power, that 1.6 EUR average in restaurants and stuff sure doesn't feel good.
Just to say it, but in most of the EU a beer in a shop will cost about as much as in Russia. Scandinavia is more expensive due to taxes, but 1.6EUR is fairly normal for a liter.
In Germany, you can get a cheap beer a lot cheaper in a store though:
Of course:
...all while supporting a faceless corporation!
But but itβs cheap and it even has a star!
It tastes cheap too.
It can be even Cheaper. NΓΆrten Hardenberg costs even less:
Oettinger is even cheaper than that.
Free diarrhea included!
Originally, I wanted to post a three-way comparison of Sternburg/Oettinger/0,5 but the specific Rewe supermarket I was looking at apparently doesn't stock either of the other two brands.
0,5 is pretty good compared to the other two, actually.
That bottle has 0.5l, so basic maths it is 1.38β¬ for a liter of beer.
I didn't notice that you used a different unit than the graphic does (0.5L vs. 1L). Sorry. Still cheaper but not by a lot.
Slava Ukraini!
That said, I really hope you will get rid of your store brand hitler soon, for your own sake as well
