Queue in front of the Bakery

(Year unknown). Peo­ple force their way into a liquor store (Rus: “Vino”). Prob­a­bly it is hap­pen­ing right after the lunch break so the alco­hol could be con­sumed after work.

    Sorry, may be I’m wrong but it should be “noth­ing else there except the bread”. Isn’t it?
