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.

    Because in Europe everything is fine, isn’t it? With the new war inflation is skyrocketing and a new interest raise is around the corner. Thank you EU.

      Inflation rate of the EU is at its lowest since October 2021.
      Meanwhile the conversation rate is 99 Ruble for 1€.
      So yes, thank you. We’re actually doing pretty alright. But I’m sure your propaganda media tells you something very different.

          Hungary is suffering from their own pro Russia policy making & voting, which they’re still holding onto. So apologies when I can’t bring up a whole lot of sympathies for them and the repercussions they’re facing from that. Germany is also not doing the greatest, and for similar reasons, at least in the energy sector. But at least now most parties sans the far left and far right have understood that.

          You are assuming that inflation will stop, but after the new war oil and gas prices (so energy prices, and therefore the price of any retail good) are increasing dramatically. Another cycle of the depressive spiral is coming for Europe… the only positive aspect I can think of is that this part of the world is responsible for the misery and poverty of other areas of the world (say Africa) so in the end this will be a sort of very much due nemesis. But from here to saying that “everything is going to be alright” sounds like gaslighting.

    I mean it’s the same in America and supposedly we’re an extra precious special country that’s not shitty.

    Kinda weird to see (possible American) people try to flex on Russia when America sucks too.
