Rumors spread on social networks and the media in Sakhalin that there might not be enough eggs for everyone on Easter. In addition, there were photographs of queues that gather near the brand shops of the Sakhalin poultry farm.
The photos shared by the Poronayskaya Zvezda Telegram channel have nothing to do with Soviet realities and were taken on April 24, 2021. A gigantic line has gathered at the Ostrovnaya poultry farm shop.
Combined with recent information from the regional ministry of agriculture that egg production at the poultry farm has recently declined by 7.7 percent – almost 4,000 chickens have died due to a blackout at the enterprise – this caused a little panic among the region’s residents, and rumors of a shortage spread. eggs.
They were fueled by the publication in KP-Sakhalin that a resident of Smirnykh came to Poronaysk for eggs and could not buy more than two dozen. The store refused to sell more than 20 pieces in one hand, and motivated that the restrictions were set by the poultry farm itself.
MK on Sakhalin requested a comment from the management of the poultry farm, as well as from the regional Ministry of Agriculture. It was not possible to receive a prompt reply.
