A pack of mayonnaise was thrown at the head of the all-Russian energy monopoly Anatoly Chubais on Wednesday, but the mastermind of the Russian market reforms managed to avoid the projectile.
| Oh, thank goodness! The horror! |
The incident took place at a Moscow press conference titled 'RAO UES – an open company' during Chubais’s speech. A girl threw a pack of mayonnaise at the official crying out ''This is a political act organized by the National-Bolshevik Party!''
| "This is the closest we can come to a political act because we're... ummm... dumb." |
The mayonnaise missed Chubais and hit some water glasses on the conference table. The head of RAO UES jumped up crying ''thank you, girl, you nearly hit me in the eye!'' and then Chubais’s guards took the attacker out.
| "You coulda put somebody's eye out with that thing! Do you know how many people lose eyes to mayonnaise every year, young lady?" |
Some time ago, National Bolsheviks threw mayonnaise at the chairman of the Central Electoral Commission Aleksander Veshnyakov.
| I guess it's a Bolshevik thing. We wouldn't understand... |
