Russian MP from the Vologda region Andrei Kholodov came up

Russian MP from the Vologda region Andrei Kholodov came up with an extravagant proposal – if every citizen of Russia gave 50 rubles (about 1 lev), the country could buy California and turn it into a Russian state resort. This was reported by the Moscow Times, based in the Netherlands.

From the Black Sea to California: Russia’s plan for a new resort
Kholodov compared California to Anapa, the pride of Russian Black Sea resorts, noting that the coast there is currently polluted with fuel oil.

„ If we buy California, we will not have to deal with surprises on the beaches, but will rest under the hot sun, “ the MP said.

He also noted that in the warm climate of the American state, Russians could grow potatoes year-round.

Kholodov said that he was inspired by the idea of ​​u200bu200bformer US President Donald Trump to buy Greenland from Denmark.

“I think the current owner of the White House would agree to such a deal. He doesn’t like this state, ” he added, hinting at Trump’s antipathy towards California, a traditional stronghold of the Democratic Party and former President Joe Biden.

The MP’s statement comes against the backdrop of a serious environmental problem on the Russian Black Sea coast, where in December last year two tankers spilled a huge amount of fuel oil – according to the authorities 4 tons, but independent experts believe that the pollution could remain for another 10-15 years.

While Russians dream of vacationing in California, their beaches remain covered with oil spills, which makes Kholodov’s proposal even more curious.
