Cost of Living in Novosibirsk

No more than 3% of the people in Russia really live in poverty, there are no starving people, the food is of absolutely normal quality and tasty, crime is falling, life expectancy is increasing, most people live quite well. Utilities for retirees and low incomes are partially or fully paid by the state. Most people do not encounter corruption in everyday life, although they believe that it is very high.
Free education and medicine, numerous benefits for large families, the poor and retirees are also present.
Now living in Russia is much better than in the late 1990s. That is why people support Putin.
The oligarchs of the 1990s and pro-Western agitators are actively promoting against Putin and Russia among the youth. They are trying to insinuate that it was under Putin that our country "began to live so badly." Firstly, it’s not bad to live in Russia, and secondly, Russia's problems come from the 1990s.
And with democracy, we are fine. Most of the adequate people, whose brains are not washed with propaganda, understand that all indignations at the lack of freedom in Russia are utter bullshit. People say what they want; write what they want; think what they want and vote for who they want.

The price level is not the whole life. At the moment, the occupying authorities have brought brown coal for heating, which does not burn in the kilns, and emit toxic smoke into the atmosphere.
Food low quality. Vegetable oil with gasoline! Butter is falsified with margarine. Sausage soaked with carcinogen creosote! Vegetables for feeding animals. This is a disaster area!

The numbers are close to reality. The difference is max 5-10%. http://gooper.ru/rossiya/214-ceny-v-novosibirske-rossiya-na-produkty-zhile-transport.html
