in reply to Hotznplotzn • • •Damn just a bunch of anecdotes, I had hoped for some real info on the economy of Russia.
How common for instance is it that people are in similar situations to these people?
From more general info about the economy, this is pretty much in line with what could be expected for the less well off part of the population.
But what really matters is if this is finally beginning to hit the average middle class Russian, and not only the poor. because that's the point where we may begin to see resistance to the system.
