The number of Russians who say their salary does not cover basic spending has jumped by 20 percentage points in two years to almost half, a survey by recruiter Headhunter showed, as Moscow diverts record fiscal resources to funding its war in Ukraine.

    I really don’t want to respond to this with whattaboutism and American diabolosm, but I’d be curious to this compared with the same rate in the US.

    The world around, the rich just keep getting richer at the expense of the rest of us.

    Year end inflation of 7% doesn’t actually seem that bad? I’m surprised it’s not higher tbh

      That’s the official numbers. They mean nothing in the real world. In the real world purchasing power of ruble got halved, at least.

        Just like how the US fudges the numbers on Inflation by redefining the “basket of goods” used for calculations

        Edit here’s an interesting video about it for anyone who doesn’t believe me… https://youtu.be/1QAuROcA4mY
