克里姆林网店 俄罗斯高官专享奶制品向公众开放

The Russian government is to give the public the chance to sample a range of delicacies previously reserved for senior officials.

俄罗斯政府将让公众有机会品尝到原先只有高官才能吃到的美味。

Presidential press secretary Elena Krylova says an online shop selling dairy products under the brand name "Kremlin Quality" will open in the new year.

据俄罗斯总统新闻秘书叶莲娜.克里洛娃称，一家名为克里姆林优选的奶制品网店即将在新年上线。

She tells Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper that "milk, buttermilk, yoghurt and possibly cheese" made specially for the presidential administration,

她向《共青团真理报》透露：该店将出售本为总统当局、议会成员和其他官员特制的鲜奶、酪乳、酸奶甚至是奶酪。

MPs and their staff will be "on offer to everyone, not just to officials".

这些特供食品将不再由官员独享，而会向大众供应。

Senior Russian civil servants still enjoy access to food produced exclusively for them in what amounts to a hangover from Soviet times, when special farms allowed the Communist leaders to avoid the generally poor-quality food on offer to the public.

俄罗斯高级公务员拥有食物专享权是苏联时期遗留下来的传统，尽管当时的苏联民众们吃得不好，但仍有专门的农场为苏联共产党领导提供高质量的食品。

Ms Krylova tells Govorit Moskva radio that the prices will be "no higher than in the supermarkets", as the authorities want to make sure the goods are "within the reach of all sections of the public".

克里洛娃对俄罗斯Govorit Moskva广播电台说，商店里的食品价格将不高于超市价格，以保证各阶层人士都能负担得起。

A representative of the Kremlin Quality website told Vedomosti business daily that officials will still have some advantages, as they can pick up their online orders from their places of work, whereas everyone else must rely on home deliveries.

克里姆林优选网站的某代表告诉《俄罗斯商业日报》，政府官员仍然享有部分特殊待遇，比如可以在办公地点收取网购的包裹，而其他人只能在家收货。

The paper notes that the presidential administration considered entering the food trade back in 2012 with its "Kremlin Squirrel" chocolates,

该报指出，早在2012年总统当局就以克里姆林松鼠巧克力品牌尝试进军食品行业。

and that dairy goods have appeared in some shops recently in order to test the market.

为了测试市场的反应，官方的奶制品近日已经出现在某些商店的货架上。

Online reaction has been largely humorous.

对此，俄罗斯网民们的反应大多比较幽默。

One person says they wouldn't mind an entire dinner service complete with the state double-headed eagle crest,

有人说，他们完全不介意享用一整套带有双头鹰徽章（俄罗斯国徽）的用餐服务。

although others are annoyed to discover that their leaders still have exclusive access to high-quality food.

但也有人表示愤慨：原来直到如今，自己的领导人们仍拥有高品质食物的专享权。

Several ask whether vodka will be on offer, fondly remembering the spirits produced for Soviet leaders at the Moscow Cristall Distillery.

一想起当年莫斯科水晶蒸馏厂为苏联领导人特制的好酒，就有人天真地发问：是否也会出售伏特加呢？

But Ms Krylova anticipated that particular question, telling Komsomolskaya Pravda: "I think there's already enough alcohol out there."

而克里洛娃早就料到了这个问题，她的回答是：我觉得市场上卖的酒已经够多了。
