  1. Remember Tucker Carlson saying Americans would be outraged by how cheap things were in Russia when he spent his 100 American dollars in a Moscow food market? I always look forward to the clarity of your informed analyses as an indispensable source of information on the true state of the Russian economy. Particularly looking forward to your upcoming BRICs episode and your take on Turkey joining and BRICs currency.

  2. ​ @EconLessons I've seen interviews of villagers in Russia on the internet. They think life would be good at $300 monthly pensions as they typically get less than $200 which they say only covers rent. Depend on family and friends to survive. When asked about Putin's boast of Russia #1 economy in Europe, they say it hasn't affected their daily lives.
