How bad off are Russians in reality?
I hear that the streets of Moscow are filled with beggars and that nobody can afford food, etc etc....
But I want to hear from true Russians...how bad of a situation is Russia in? How much does the averege Russian earn (And adjust for the prices in Russia.)?
How knowedgable are Russians of the world? Here in America it is very bad...people don't even want to know. I think it's a mistake.
Thanks.

Why doesn't Russia simply attempt to lower prices? I mean, middle class jeans costing 500 rubles...an entire months salery!!! :o

What? Don't "liberals" tend to be more in favor of a centralized economy?
Is there something Russia could do but isn't? For whatever reason (Like the US...it isn't giving NK the nonaggression treaty because of "pride". Bah)
