@Kshahdoo67 According to various sources, the median salary in Russia varies depending on factors such as occupation, experience, and location.0 According to Sberindex in 2020, the median salary for all industries in Russia was 31,540 rubles or $500 per month in January and 38,278 rubles or $520 per month in December.1 According to Salary Explorer, the average salary ranges from 26,200 RUB (lowest average) to 463,000 RUB (highest average) in Russia.0 The average nominal salary in Russia was measured at 73,709 RUB per month in 2023, marking an increase of 8,371 RUB compared to the previous year.

Russel, Russel, I thought you got a proper job now, that pays you. How many more supermarkets we need to see in Moscow to understand that sanctions haven't touched the food supply as much (or rather that you are intentionally showing us the well stocked shops, not those queues for eggs or sweets I saw elsewhere, a couple hundreds people nearly crashed each other for a box of sweets given for free). Yes, RuSSia is by-passing sanctions, Kazachstan or Turkey and others are having a spike in trade with RuSSia, but how many people are actually doing a proper shopping for the weekend? Can they afford living and eating like they did before the sanctions? Shortages of chicken meat (after eggs) Putin explaining that people now are better off so they eat more meat which supposedly caused the shortages? The take of unsecured loans has skyrocketed (did you take some, too?), and people take more loans to pay the previous ones. A number of regions have reported failing grid, freezing in their homes (showing 5-10C inside their homes)... You should stick to the job, Russel, making sure you don't lose it. From this moment I officially consider you a propagandist.

Riight, will we see some place where the heating burst and inhabitants haven't had heating and water for days or weeks? That happens in older places. And there is barely any maintenance staff left, as many have been sent to the meat grinder. Technology and infrastructure is old and failing. At least these in the new places have bought some time before they will face failures.
This rent, when a median salary in RuSSia is just about $500 (ignoring the temporary spike in the military complex industry salaries, contributing to inflation), is quite high, with prices of everything going up on weekly basis. RuSSia used to have subsidised mortgages, but that has ended. Interest rates are nearing 30%, which is a disaster, nobody can really afford a mortgage anymore. A lot of new buildings have been built in the recent years, but people don't have money to buy them and developers are struggling. And renting is as bad as mortgage payments. There was a young woman with a degree and a job, crying on the outside, with a few bags to take with herself to the communal housing, as she couldn't keep paying her rent anymore. That was a few months ago and things got worse since then.
On a personal note, those black fittings in the bathroom are a terrible fashion trend. Keeping them looking nice with limescale building up will be difficult.

@loa367 Thanks, you too.
I know the salaries vary, but I compared comparable. Median income in a country and rent in the metropole, or within its boundaries.
I agree, the whole world is suffering the aftermath of the pandemic and then the greed of the corporations who hold us by the balls. But unlike in RuSSia, most of the world can freely move, travel, say what they want, their men aren't snatched for a cannon fodder, infrastructure is in a far better state... and the sanctions for RuSSia are unprecedented, causing havoc in their living standards. If people see the prices in Moscow but compare it to their own salary in the developed world, they are making a big mistake.

@danielkurtovic9099 Are you sure your stats from RuSSia are from 2024 and not from 2012, for example? Surplus in bank accounts? And so the banks were throwing loans on people, unsecured loans, one after another people took to pay off the previous ones, so the banks are in trouble now? Unlike RuSSia, US is open with their stats, even the military spending is public, not so much in RuSSia. They even stopped publishing full stats on alcoholism years ago.
There is a crisis in the US right now, I am not doubting it, largely due to influx of Chinese drugs that wreak havoc with American people. But the US publicise the issues, whereas Kremlin puts embargo on any unpleasant information. When something happens suddenly, all media are quiet for a day or two, waiting for the script from Kremlin and then parrot the news, often word by word, on different channels and media. We never know for real what is happeing in RuSSia.

@punkinhoot I am struggling to find more recent median figures for Canada, after 2022, but what the chat bot spat out is this:
"Comparing these figures, the annual cost of renting a one-bedroom apartment amounts to approximately $23,076 CAD, which constitutes about 33% of the median after-tax household income. This percentage slightly exceeds the commonly recommended threshold of 30% for housing expenses, indicating that rental affordability remains a concern for many Canadians."
And now imagine a person with median income In RuSSia (which is 60,000 Rubble) spends over 80% of their income on this matchbox.
If I lived in London, I would be struggling, too. But I moved out 10 years ago, found a job in a more rural area, having a big house, comfortably paying out mortgage. Rents also wouldn't break my neck. I can live with little, being resourceful, cooking mostly at home and taking out coffee in a flask, costing in pennies, not $8 for a Costa cup or so. Things are harder for most people in most parts of the world, also in Australia. But RuSSians are having it extremely tough. Rubble collapsing, exporting far lest than they used to, importing far more than they used to, crashing Rubble means everything costs much more than it used to... Only those are having it good who produce weapons and ammo (not a real economy as they get nothing for it, it is not sold to a customer, it is wasted on destruction of their neighbour), or those sending their son, brother, father, uncle, to the frontlines, suffering unsustainable losses. Those get extra cash, that lasts them for a while if they don't go on a sudden spending spree and waste it all in a few weeks.
