Life in Russia after sanctions - ULTIMATE journey through the east to the west

- We will go from the very east to the very west of Russia and then to its capital, to see how people live in different parts of Russia. Let's make a research : what are the average salaries, how much people spend per month on food, renting an apartment, and other costs in Kamchatka, Kaliningrad and Moscow!

As an American who lives in a rural area, I find your videos fascinating. I grew up in the 70's and 80's and we were taught that Russians were our mortal enemies who would rain down nuclear bombs at will. Now as a 50 something grandma, I am finding that your people are very much like our people in many ways. We all want to live a comfortable life. :). Your country is amazingly beautiful, I would love to visit one day when there is peace. Thank you for sharing
and we have always been taught that it is America who wants to drop bombs on us. And now your government is announcing openly that Russia is your enemy. Although we protect our borders from NATO in ukraine, as America did in the 1960s.
We were taught the RED GOVT would do any thing to Annex other countries or spread FAILED communism where it could.
@@7000fps why are you all so hate ussr communism? Well, I'm just curious.
@@juliyakrus Why we hate a system that imprisons opposition or people if they say a war is war and not an "special military operation" ?
Duh.. are you for real?
@@FefferoniDadadel Well, firstly, I asked about communism and USSR, but now we don’t have communism and dont have the USSR.
Traveling from east to west 15000km and you are still in Russia lol. Russia is so hugh. Can't even imagine how big it is to travel around for some time and try to discover different areas. Hopefully in future it's possible to visit Russia and have normal relationship again. Greetings from Germany
yes you can post it now
I'm just the Russian guy who was planning to travel around the world and see some cool places. Really hope that I will do that and come to Germany too! There is so many things to see but I'm honestly sad that it might never happen.
@@bloodst0rm1337 We will have peace again! Never loose your hope! Greetings from Frankfurt :)
thank you! 🇷🇺❤🇩🇪
Yeah, that would be great to move all over the world and visit and stay for a week. Even Russians coming and staying on a swap a home for two weeks or you pick the how long time to stay in USA. I love villages out in their country. I love the Kamchata in the east. Way more country, less people & roads & businesses. That's is called "Industry" in America. We don't live in the area of commerce. We live in residential areas for homes, apartments, no business families only for living not working. Except when you work from your home. Merry Christmas everyone especially in the Ukraine. I love all your beautiful outfits for the Santa Claus' he always looks so beautiful/handsome with all the hand sown beating on the hats especially. God bless Ukraine and all of Holy People of God thru Lord Jesus Christ Our Savior. Amen. 😇💖💟❣🙏🧓Me now at 65 years old, very disabled, but also very happy because I'm well-read. Knowing a lot keeps me safe and very happy. Peace & Merry Christmas to All & to All a Good Night.46,000 rubles a month? How much American Dollars is that amount? We can't compare & have no idea, Not a clue. Also all this talk of "Sanctions" ? What the hell are those? If it's something of Russia attacking people not attacking them? Then stop attacking or stealing or raping or whatever it is your country leaders are doing to harm innocent people with their families sitting in their homes doing TV before bedtime & work with school for kids tomorrow, you shouldn't just arbitarily blow them up in their homes. That's not never what a voted in gov't. would do to it's people that put them in power in the first place. BEHAVE & leave them alone thru the Holy Days Holidays get it. If not Holy that's OK but with freedom, leave others alone doing what they think is Holy.

В 2020 мы с мужем проехали на машине из Питера до Алтая и обратно. Потом в 2021 до Крыма, а обратно сделлаи петлю через Владикавказ и далее через Калмыкию и Астрахань. В прошлом году удалось проехаться только мовсем немного по Карелии. И ведь это мы не покрыли даже половину нашей необъятной! И каждом у месту времени удалось выделить совсем немного, но даже это того стоит :) Какие всё-таки виды, какая история... Я люблю не только глазеть, но и почитать о тех местах, куда езжу.

@@tolde Stydím se za lidi, se kterými jste se potkal. Ale nejsou všichni stejní. Já a je nás hodně, se za Ruský národ rozhodně nestydím. Vím totiž moc dobře, že kdyby nás Rudá armáda neosvobodila, asi bych teď nepsal. Poslouchám hodně pana Pjakina a jeho názory jsou skvělé. Držím Vám palce a přeji jen a jen to nejlepší. Hodně zdraví přeji také V.V. Putinovi. Takového by jsme potřebovali u nás v České republice i na Slovensku. Můžete být na něho hrdí. Ještě jednou děkuji a jak už píšu, nejsou zdaleka všichni takoví s jakýma jste se setkal. Potkal jste se se špatnými lidmi.

@@tolde Je to tak, jak píšete. Osobně nevím proč, ale je to hlavně Praha, která je nejvíc protiruská. Jako by si neuvědomovali minulost. Bohužel. Je mi z toho smutno, co se teď děje. Přeji jen to nejlepší. 🌹🌹🌹. Zdeněk z Valašska
I lived 7 years in Prague and as a Slovak I experienced Czech apartheid and hatred. I left and have been living abroad for over 40 years. I hate to say that but I think that vast majority of Czechs have the xenophobia in their DNA. They conveniently forget that the Soviet Army saved them from extinction. And the Ukrainian army occupied the country in 1968 and Brezhnev was Ukrainian…all ordinary Russians are friendly. And the women are still feminine and stunning beauty..
@@jurajkubove5258 Je to tak, jak píšete. Ale většina lidí to nebude. Rodilí pražáci se z Prahy vystěhovávají a sjíždí se tam lidé z celé republiky za prací apod., kteří tam už zůstanou. Jsou tam vyšší platy a hodně příležitostí pro obyčejné lidi, řemeslníky. Rodilí pražáci s hodně věcma nesouhlasí, ale jsou v menšině. Znám jich hodně a jejich názory znám, ale pomalu se z Prahy vystěhovávají i proto, že je tam draho.
To, co způsobili v době, kdy bylo zakázáno veřejné shromažďování (covid), že odstranili sochu maršála Koněva a hrubé napadání ruské ambasády byl vrchol drzosti a zasloužili by potrestání. A nic se nestalo, přestože většina obyčejných lidí s tím nesouhlasila. Nemohli ani vyjádřit protest. Byl zákaz shromažďování. A nebo starosta Řeporyjí - Novotný, to jeho napadání a urážení Ruska je strašné a zasloužil by trest vězení. A nic. Nikdo nic a všechno je ok. Ta pátá kolona se strašně rozrůstá a být mladší, utekl bych do Ruska i s rodinou.
Tady(Valašské Meziříčí) na Moravě je to úplně jiné. Lidé mají jiné starostí, jsou pracovití a o politiku se moc nezajímají. Nemají na to čas. Ale i tady by se našlo pár lidí, kteří smýšlejí jako v Praze. Republika je rozdělená, bohužel. Na Slovensku mám taky hodně přátel, ale i tam je to skoro 50 na 50. 18 let jsem tam jezdil s kombajnem po žních a občas si tam na ta místa zajedu a vždy mně přepadnou vzpomínky. Teď jsem už v důchodu a zůstaly jen ty vzpomínky. Mějte se hezky a hodně zdraví. Zdeněk z Valašska.
I remember many years ago in Egypt I met a Russian who lived in Kamchatka.
He could not stop telling me how much he loved Kamchatka and had never ending stories.
At the time, he annoyed the hell out of me, since I was his diving instructor and was trying to show him the beauty of the Red Sea. But after many years, I have decided that I will have to visit this man's beloved land.
Hahah beautiful story! I'm Russian and had a similar encounter with a man from Australia (but on the Internet), who was telling me about his native Cairns, and I thought: darn it, I will definitely visit it one day hahaha

I'm a North American who has lived 10 years in Russia, I speak Russian at home with my Russian wife, and am drawn to your videos. Can you make a video about the spiritual life in Russia. I was baptized in Yalta in a Russian Orthodox church........ and when living in Alushta and Yalta, I had been surrounded by so many believers in my life..... and video on the spiritual faith and life in Russia would be an interesting one.

Congratulations, beautiful country.
Congratulations. One of my dreams is to get married and live in Russia with a beautiful wife and children.
I so don`t think. Until you move away from the United States in puppetry and become a sovereign state. Without friendship with Russia, you have lost your power and greatness, which is unnecessary for the United States. It's a pity.

Totally true, I live in Vračar Belgrade but from Liverpool, married Serb girl, and they're so like us. But having worked in Rostov, Serbs and Russians (average person) have zero idea about hiw the West works. We're not all friends, unfortunately. My hometown refuses an English identity, has closer historical ties with Ireland, Scotland has a Nationalist government, so does Wales, Northern Irelands assembly was won by pro united Irish. There's a whole county in South West UK called Cornwall with its own flag n lingo. The Western side of UK is Celtic not Anglo......I'd be here all day with examples. Peace n love from Beograd
😢its sad I hope we humans find a solution for hate 😭
So true we do all want that and I just don’t understand war at all and the mentality of we hate you and isn’t like this and that 😮 we’re all just human and can’t we find common ground and get along. That would be regardless of race or gender. You t like looking back in time with what’s happening 😢
@@paulwilliams2663Does Liverpool have an attraction to the Celtic world? To Ireland and Scotland? I suspected it. Judging by the names of the Beatles band members, Lennon and McCartney are Celts. And they're from Liverpool. Britain is very a heterogeneous country and at any moment can split into parts like the USSR.

You are a very brave man if you moved from Britain to Serbia. I hope your love was worth it. Good luck man! Greetings from the Russian Crimea!
I was in Russia from 5th September to 12th September this year. I went there to represent my country, Bangladesh in an international fishing tournament organized by ROSATOM. During my short visit to Russia, I got acquainted with the vast richness of Russian culture and hospitality. I was mesmerized to see the breathtaking architecture of Saint Petersburg. I fall deeply in love with the Gulf of Finland and Sosnovy Bor. The calmness of this little town hypnotized me, In Moscow, I was really fascinated by the greatness of Russian achievements. I know that it's not possible to experience Russia on a tightly scheduled tour and what I have experienced was a tiny fragment of what Russia truly is. Anyways, I'll be there again and be completely submerged in the deep treasures of Mother Russia.
Did you win?
@@milkybar06 He was the fish...
@@milkybar06 No, India won the tournament, Russia and Egypt became 2nd jointly and Uzbekistan became 3rd. My team stood 4th in the tournament followed by South Africa. No other team got any fish.

@@user-pp5vx7ui9g I Agree 👍 💯
I live in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and I find it surprisingly similar between my city and some cities in Russia in terms of the average salaries and monthly spending. This is very intriguing. Your video is really nice. Thank you!
Yeah, bro, it's very intriguing, especially considering that in countries with relatively high salaries correspondingly higher monthly spendings. Governments and businesses orginized things in such a way, that people in common earn only as mush as to pay for food, for rent, or for the mortgage in a best case, and continue to work
@@user-ki3my8vx9j Yeah well actually we cannot entirely blame the governments. If a government it's rich, there are only two things that it can improve. One, the public infrastructure and services. And two, the salary of those who work in those areas, the public employees. Usually, these 2 things improve insignificantly simply because there is no magical jump in terms of economic growth of a country annually. So, for common people who work for the government, you can't expect a dream salary.
As for the rest, that is the private area, as in "businesses" per your comments, well sadly, we can't blame them either. This is the only sector where you can improve your earning, but you have to be very hardworking or talented, or both. And as a business, of course it will try to squeeze you to the last drop to fill it pocket because... business.
Russia is a developed country, but its GDP is not too impressive (as expected). Beside, the country is too large for its population. There are not many high population areas for the economy to take advantage of. Many even live in rural or remote parts of the country that are actually poor.
Anyway, all I want to say it, I know that there are different parts of Russia with different living standards, I just did't expect to see many parts that are so familiar to the place where I live.
Yeah! In addition, to establish payments for those who will fight at 5x the average salary and continuously say that "war is the defense of the motherland". And let them be happy
@@julesbois2122 Sorry you have lost me there.
Indeed, Russia is a beautiful nation, even nature, the people even more so, and the architecture is beautiful and unique. As an American, I enjoyed watching, listening, and learning!

As a Ukrainian I know a lot of good Russians, and i'm against judging ALL Russians. But the big problem is that a lot of people from Russia seems friendly and kind at first, but in the the dialog with them i find out that they support Putin's decisions and think he is doing everything right. Paradoxically, the person seems friendly and kind at first, but then you realize what they really think when you ask them some questions.

HI Eli, from Las Vegas!!
I found your channel about 2 weeks ago because I was looking for up-close views of modern Moscow, like a city walk/tour style. My ancestors on my mother's side of the family are from Russia-I do not know which part. I think my grandmother's generation was the first to speak English. My mom told me that her grandparents only ever spoke Russian. Myself, I grew up near DC during the Cold War years and I remember the USSR's dissolution in 1991. I was in high school. But, I remember being even young and very curious about why we were taught that all Russians were "bad" in our media. You can imagine it was quite vexing to me since I knew WE weren't bad and that was our heritage as well. I always had the sense that Russians were "real" people, with all the same worries, love for their families, celebrating holidays, etc, just like American people. So, this is all to say that I have always been fascinated about your country and your culture. Since finding your channel, I have watched almost all of your videos except for 2 so far. Thank you SO MUCH for putting in all the work to do these. You do an excellent job and they're so interesting and really give an insight to the people and traditions of your country. One day I hope to get to visit, I don't know if that will happen, but I hope so. In the meantime, I really just can't get enough of your channel!!
I went on google maps and looked around. the history and the buildings
Thanks for a very enjoyable and useful contribution !!
This is a wonderful comment. I'm becoming more and more convinced every day that we are all the same. We have the same aspirations, we have the same fears, we love our family and friends equally, we love the same movies, music, shows... Many of us have the same background. Who ever said that we are different and should hate each other just because we were born in different territories? It's all so unimportant: our gender, age, religion, country. We are all just people and we all just want to live. It's sad that not many people can understand that we are not so different actually :'((
@@barbarachagakova You are of course so very right. It's only politicians who cause all the unhappiness, destruction, terrible wounding, and the enormous loss of people's lives.

This is for the first time I am watching something covering Russians (and that also in English). Before this I had watched few movies and documentaries (using English subtitles ☺). I am really fascinated with Russian Federation and its people. I have always been curious about our friend nation Russia and its citizens. But never thought, someday I would see them in real (now at least I saw them on TH-cam). It is so beautiful (again I had never imagined it, I would thought it is only snow everywhere in Russia), just love it. Also people are so humble and almost suffering like everyone else here in India. Your video has induced curiosity of visiting it in real (may be in future, if it is possible ☺I would visit it for sure). Meanwhile, I can't resist watching all of your videos about Russia and its cordial citizens. Thanks a lot for sharing. Peace and love for all our loving brothers and sisters in Russia🇷🇺 from India 🇮🇳

I am Canadian our average wage is $2000 Canadian...but our average cost of living is about $3000 (Minimum) for a single person... So if you think Russia is bad you should checkout Canada... Our health care system is equal to a third world country and just like United States many many people live in the streets...
The westerners don't believe in a life where they aren't slaves to work and bills. Russians are rich because they have more leisure time one way or another since ive moved to russia ive noticed a lot more people are in the streets enjoying life and doing things that don't involve crime like in Canada or America.

Thanks Eli. I started to watch your blogs given the currrent situation in Ukraine. I also subscibed today. I am from Canada. I believe you love your country. I appreciate the fact you leave politics out of your blogs. This is not a political channel, it's a channel about life in Russia and there is nothing wrong in showing us the good things instead of focusing on the bad things. Glad you are not one of those Western oriented Russians who would throw Russia under the bus and leave the country. Russia needs young people like you if there ever to be meaningful change there.

Our industries, climate and geography are so similar. It's neat to see how Russians deal with similar challenges to us...even if we only have 6 time zones 😂

I’m from Russia and living in US. People are similar everywhere. I love American people as much as Russians. In Houston I’ve met friendliest and warmest people ever! Thank you for the video. One note: 1-bedroom in Russia is actually one room, like studio. 2-bedroom is 1 bedroom in the US: living room and a bedroom.
Thanks for the cultural translation. Even among English speaking countries the words may have different meanings. I was amused to find out "water closet" meant bathroom.
Karina, I also live in Houston but I have always wanted to visit Russia, It looks like a beautiful place and I would love to learn more about the culture and language.

This 20-minute video provides an interesting overview of the economy from ordinary folk's perspective. Based on the inputs given, I deduce each region has their own local supply chain that utilise whatever resources within its territory. Only resources that are geographically impossible to have as well as complex machinery and its spare parts are imported from outside. And I bet my entire savings that railway is the primary mode of logistics for such cargo across the country (if not the only mode)! Hence the minimal variance for food cost across different regions and the reason why everything is more expensive in Kaliningrad compared to the rest of the country. Most probably rental is the biggest factor for the pricing variance.
p/s: In all countries, the few very wealthy income earners can significantly distort the average income. Median income provides more accurate estimate that reflect the income of the ordinary masses. This is typical government behaviour all over the world. To show to their respective masses that they've done a good job. Despite that, I'm impressed with this level of performance considering that >10,000 types of sanctions are imposed on the Russian economy. This kind of resiliency is like flipping the middle finger to those who imposed the sanctions. At least, that's what I see from the outside
Вы прекрасно поняли происходящее. Но к сказанному вами надо еще добавить тот факт, что у России практически нет долгов. На момент начала Специальной Военной Операции внешний долг России примерно соответствовал 2 месяцам работы компании Газпром. Именно благодаря этому Россия все эти санкции вертела на том органе, которым мужчины делают детей 🙂
Everyone everywhere is having a hard time right now. It doesn't matter where someone lives, things just cost too much. Inflation is hurting all of us.
As a resident of Russia, I can testify that Eli makes truthfull and genuine stories about life in Russia. A word to Elina - if you come to film Kazan and would like facilitation, let me know!
Wow! What a wonderful presentation! Your video is so refreshing :)
You have given me a wonderful perspective on the natural beauty of your country. I also admire how you were able to gather all those facts and figures to give us an inside look at the cost of living in different parts of Russia.
I can really tell that you worked hard to put together such a high quality report/presentation. I truly admire you and respect you for your efforts and results here.

All these people like so healthy as well, I am Canadian, think I will move to Russia.
Unfortunately this is the way of life in most cities and countries, the gap between the rich and the poor keeps on growing. Amazing video, keep up the good work!
Maybe but I'd consider Moscow to have one of the strongest middle classes of any city I've see after living in Europe since 2009 and traveling the world extensively. Most average Russians have life in decent apartments, and have some money for new clothes, going out to dinners and entertainment. Most middle-class Russians manage to take at least 1 or 2 trips abroad every year. Even the very best restaurants in the city are accessible to people leaving on an average salary if they manage their money well but that's certainly not the case in lace like NYC and LA or London.
true
Yep, everywhere. No matter what country you are in. After all, we are all controlled by FIAT :D
@@kc4ril Idk why people would live in a city like NYC Miami or LA, when there are great smaller cities like Phoenix, Charlotte, Salt Lake City, or Nashville - where there are plenty of 6 figure opportunities, but not nearly as much cost, allowing for great opportunities to build wealth through hard work and perseverance. Though that can be said of any country.
@@kc4ril I had income around 60000rub living in Russia… sorry but I couldn’t afford going abroad without limiting my spendings on entertainment… plus if you live in Russia and your relatives in Belarus so you travel “abroad” 2-3 times a year 😅

Very interesting to hear interviews from most eastern and most western border of russia. Such a huge country....poverty is s relative thing, i had an aunt who inherited a lot of money but she was always unhappy and complaining. My aunt from father's side had very very little in terms of income but could enjoy in the beauty of the flowers in her tiny garden, and was mostly happy with her life.
Бедность вещь туманная, для кого бедность это отсутствия миллиона долларов на счёте, для других невозможность купить дом, для третьих это невозможность поесть. Для 90% русских бедность это как раз отсутстве миллиона долларов на счёте, остальное у русских есть!

Nice video.
We visited Kaliningrad 6 years ago and i really love the place.. Now, we just moved in to Moscow after living abroad for 10 years. In my opinion, different cost of living is happening all over the world, not just in Russia. As long as you know how to live you will survive.
The situation in Europe is much worse. Europe is in recession now. I’m in Moscow now. Prices here are much lower than in Austria where I live.
It is funny, you think about the picturesque architecture, then realize the whole city was build by Germans and does not have that much to do with Russia.

Thanks for the interesting video! Since we started our studies, a good friend and me planned to do a hitchhiking trip after finishing our studies through the former soviet territory including Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine and heading toward Russia. I always wanted to experience the life in the countries that hadn´t been influenced by capitalism for so long. Unfortunately 2022 made it hard to follow this dream for "some reasons" so let´s hope the governments will conclude peace even though it will be a hard process. But beside our governments who may have tensions we are just human beings who are friendly in most of the cases regardless of whether we are from Russia, the US, Ukraine or Germany. So let´s pray for better days!
Greetings from (east) Germany :)

Элли, здравствуйте! Спасибо за такой интересный ролик. На западе люди знают о России только из новостей, где русские только враги и готовы сбросить ядерную бомбу, еще из фильмов, где русские - угрюмые бандиты. Короче, пропаганда на западе делает русских врагами всего человечества. Очень надеюсь, что ваш ролик увидят как можно больше людей во всем мире и поймут, что русские обычные люди, с такими же заботами и такими же политиками. Мы хотим жить, работать, растить детей, дружить, любить, путешествовать, но я не знаю периодов в истории России, чтобы люди жили хорошо и спокойно. Вечные проблемы, то внутри, то снаружи. Вечно надо то кого-то защищать, то от кого-то защищаться. Долбанные политики.
Nice to see what life is like in different regions of Russia and the difference it makes.
Here in Finland my wife and i live 30km away from Helsinki. We own a house valued around 350€k but if you move 15 km away from Helsinki the same one would be 500-600k€ and if you move directly to Helsinki center, the same one would be over 1 million €. The difference what a few kilometres can make is amazing.

Still, it seems to me that you harbour somewhat idealised view of the west. I would say that both salaries and costs here are higher, but, given the relative numbers you have provided, I do not think that average people in USA or even most of Europe are any less exploited than the people you interviewed. I'm not even talking about poorer places like most of asia or africa...

I would say life is very hard for the average Russian given rising inflation and stagnant wages. This is not only characteristic of Russia but of many countries in Europe and North America. What surprises me is the Russian people are very open-minded and not easily perturbed by their circumstances. I respect the Russian people.

I accidentally stumbled upon your channel and it's quite interesting! Moscow has different salaries and dream salaries, because everyone lives in different parts of Moscow. In the center of Moscow, there are very high prices for food and apartments, the rich live there with high salaries, there are large companies that pay a lot. If you are a beginner or a simple worker, then he definitely lives in the Moscow region, where prices are 5 times lower, so 100,000 rubles are enough for people there for a comfortable stay.

I love how thought provoking this video is. The comments section provides such strong additional perspectives. Most of which support the interviews. With a few contrarian viewpoints. It will be fun to come back to the comments in a few days to see additional thoughts people from different parts of Russia & different parts of the world have to say. Thank you, Eli!
Here's one extra thought. It is not for me to tell, how other people should live their life or what they like or dislike, but to help younger Russian audience to better understand (understanding is NOT the same as approval) the Western reaction to one very special operation, I say that in the West people do get judged according to what they tolerate. For example, if someone is NOT a pedophile itself/himself/herself, but the person tolerates pedophilia, the molesting of children, then in the West that person will get judged by others despite the fact that the person being judged does NOT molest children itself. With that context in mind, please draw Your own conclusion, how the attitude of some Russians looks from Western perspective and what that kind of judgement means in the longer term, like in years 2022 till 2080. I am NOT an Ukrainian. I am an Estonian, living in Estonia, which is part of the West. Thank You for reading my comment.
@fleshnbone187 I think by their own standards the person above is a vicious murderer condoning mass murder of innocent people, destruction of their homes and livelihood, mass slander... the worst kind of person really. I would also assume the person above approves the crimes/mass murder and starvation of people in Yemen, since the US/West supports Saudi Arabia.

The politics and economy in Russia are build on purpose to satisfy only basic needs of people. If you notice most of people in regions has a salary which is equal to pay for the communal payments, food and some clothes. Most of people in my country can not afford them selfs to travel, and the can only take not long tours around their home location. Because of my work, I traveled along almost of all Russia, and I can confirm that if you go far from Moscow to the east or west, the price for basic goods (food, vegetables, fruits, clothes) are much higher, but salary is several times lower than in capital. The other side is that in Moscow the real estate prices are going through the roof, and reached almost New-York, or Barcelona prices, but my mom work in two music schools, 6 days a week, full time and have a salary about 800$. You can imagine 180000$ is the price for 40 sq.meters flat in the edge of Moscow, and 800$ salary for the month for full time worker. Of course young people of modern professions: designers, content makers, sale cheaper/buy more expensive people have higher profits. So the layering of social classes is tremendous in Russia.
Seems like its kinda hard to sanction a country that has alot of natural resources. I think alpt of countries would want to have what Russia has. I wish the USA and Russia would get along. We could be so powerful together.
You had your chance. In the 1950s (the USSR applied to join NATO) and in the 2000s (Putin discussed the possibility of joining NATO). Both times, as you know, failed. Well, that's fine, we said and left to do our business.

Поправьте меня, если я ошибаюсь, но деньги из регионов не идут в Москву. Налоги по округам платятся. Если покупаешь на Камчатке у компании с Камчатки, то деньги идут в бюджет самой Камчатки.
(Безграмотно, но суть уловили… надеюсь)
Т.е. если на Камчатке купить что-то, что продается компанией зарегистрированной в Москве, то и налоги пойдут в Москву.
К сожалению, ошибаешься. Ндс целиком идёт в федеральный бюджет, налог на прибыль 3 в федеральный, 17 в региональный и только ндфл целиком в регион. Это из основных налогов...

I used to live in Anchorage, Alaska, which is across the Bering Sea from Kamchatka. The video from Kamchatka looks a lot like Alaska. Housing and Utilities are very expensive, but Alaskans make up for it by catching their dinner instead of buying it. Most people eat a lot of fish and game, berries (Fresh or Preserved). There's not much vegetable, but cabbage and potatoes grow pretty well there. The big goal in the fall is to get a moose, because that will feed a couple of families for most of the winter.
