  1. Susan Elmer she’s trying to say that this Russia is different to the Russia most Americans see and know through television.

  2. So judging by the comments, there are some misconceptions out there. First off, this is a very abnormally large and well-stocked supermarket, for Russia. Most are MUCH smaller, older, worse stocked and darker. Second, this is likely in Moscow, where the average income is over twice of the rest of the country. Third, the actual regulations of food aren’t that great and are often not followed. There are entire TV shows devoted to catching this. Finally, the average monthly salary in Russia in 2018 was 38,333 rubles ($676USD). The average salary of a skilled worker in Moscow was around $1,000. Management: over $1,500. With that consideration, this store/food is out of the price range for an average Russian.
