I live in Bucharest, Romania and visit Odessa recently.
In the end we will cut putins head off and kick it through the streets of Ukraine and Russian soldiers will join him.
To describe the country in one phrase - wild capitalism and no laws.
Laws exists of course but nobody enforces them. If you know certain people(or you pay them well) you may rob or kill someone else and you will be fine unless smb else will kill you first. In most of the cases situation is _much_ less stressed but it doesn't dim previous statement, especially if one run some business or has insulted some VIP.
As a long standing tradition in the country(not only in Odesa) almost nobody pay income taxes and really many more other taxes. According to official statistic it's ~30-35% of population but in reality it's rather 70-90% and 99.999% of people don't pay at least some taxes systematically(rent income, smuggling etc). Some people think that utilities is also a tax and don't pay them too(btw relatively small bills in comparison to EU). It's very common and after 30 years of negligence only recently governments allowed service companies to sue those individuals and arrest their bank accounts.
Most of the prices here are relatively accurate but not the incomes. $400-$600 is minimal salary, i.e. cash desk person in food store. Taxi driver $1000-$2000(and pay literally no taxes thinking that Bolt/Uber fee is already a tax). Drinking water delivery: $800 without own lorry and $1500 with it. Small entrepreneurs(cafes, car services): $1500-$3000. IT guys $2000-$8000, banking sector $500 is entry salary and $1000+ for middle manager and list goes on. In any case if one wants to relocate to the city, they would probably be rather shocked to stay in traffic jams of expensive cars and of abundance of luxurious apartments($150K-$400K) and houses bought in cash because mortgage is almost nonexistent mostly because people do not return money(there are even laws to support it) ... It's considering income of "$440" as stated on this site now.
If you hate taxes and probably have some tint of crime in your history you'll feel rather good in virtually any city of Ukraine and especially in Odesa.
PS For those "patriots" who think that I might be affiliated somehow with Modern Moscow Empire(aka Russia), you're wrong. I born and lived here and now in my mid 20s I just made my conclusions about what is going on. And yeah, sure, I'd like to leave this place for better, WIP.
