It is pointless comparison, because life in Russia organized differently.
As example if your payments for house (electricity, water, etc) exceed 20% of your pension, then difference pay state for you. If you need surgery, e.g. hip replacement (expensive surgery) or anything else, then you get it for free.
Another example — pensioner want to visit sanatorium (in post. soviet republics it means similar to a spa resort, but with medical services), then again local govt give it for free or incredible cheap, so pensioners can travel on resorts each year.
In general prices are less in country, moreover, when you came to shop as pensioner, they even more less.
So, when coup of pensioners have pension of $250 it is more than they spend.
Also, it is almost impossibly to imagine family which have no money from own past live. By statistic pensioners have on own accounts most of money :)
