“I was taken to a bania [Russian sauna] yesterday to look good today. I looked at myself - I'm a horrible skeleton. I'm in a horrible shape, as if I'm in seventh grade. If I remove clothing, I will look much worse. Yesterday, I ate four spoons of porridge, today I have the same, tomorrow I will eat six spoons of porridge. I'm waiting until I will eat 10 spoons of porridge per day. It will be a breakthrough. I want to say, my dear court, that your king is naked, and more than one little boy is screaming about it. Already millions of people are screaming about it. Twenty years of incompetent governing have led to the following result; there is a crown slipping from his ears, there are lies on TV, we have spent trillions of rubles and our country continues to slide into poverty. Unsurprisingly, economists write letters and say that the last few years should be called a lost decade.”
