The main issue with the above is assuming center location and very large apartment (two or more rooms), vs the more typical situation of a studio or one bedroom apartment (tho still comfortable sized) and located just on the edge of the center. (walking to the opera house for me is around 30 minutes if I take it slow, 22 minutes if I am in a hurry)
My girlfriend has a one bedroom in the center, for 25,000+2,000 a month rent/utilties. and it it literaly 5 minute stroll from the opera house
enough only for rent, utilities and food(12000 rub to be health).After all major expenses(rent,utilities,food at supermarket,monthly pass,internet,mobile) you will have 1000-2000 rub(15-30$), exept Moscow (the rest in Moscow is 70-120$)
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.
Thank you for providing this much valued information.
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!
