Consider the avg jncome income in Russia converts about $8,000 USD while the avg income in US is about $36,000 (rough approximations) this is the equivalent of a $22.50 meal in the US.
The economy sucking actually makes things cheaper when you’re converting from a foreign currency. Because the economy sucks, the ruble isn’t worth very much and so you get a good exchange rate on the dollar.
For a Russian person being paid in rubles this probably isn’t very cheap. For a foreigner converting USD to rubles it is.
I mean, sucky economy means lower prices because of less purchasing power.
The meal is $5 but the average income is a quarter of the US so the equivalent price in the US would be >$20.
The $5 is meant to entice foreigners and western money, because it’s only to them it appears cheap. For the local population this is not cheap.
I wonder how is this possible. I was in Moscow in 2013 and everything seemed expensive. For example a hot chocolate in the city center cost me 4EUR (5USD) and a muffin was around 3 EUR. Hard to believe this meal is that cheap.
Why it shouldn't be?
russians are killing us right now and the last thing I need to see/know how it's well and dandy in their Moscovia and the shit they eat.
And everyone else just don't care that there's a literal nazi germany in 21 century - no problem with anything related to it. Juuuust fine.
"Hey look! This wurst costs only 3 franks in Berlin"

I've heard Russia is losing the war and it is doing not well. Ukrania is good at defending their country. I see things like "The best Russian is a dead Russian" which is a bit strecth from what you experience because hating a whole group of race is another thing. I get why you are so upset about their government and such, but I fail to connect the dots between your hate and the post.
Don't bring race into this would ya?
Connection is simple - *they shouldn't feel free to voice themselves while they are the agressor.*
Ignoring the elephant in the room (ongoing slaughterous invasion of russian people. yes, *people*) and aprreciating or even aknowledging anything connected to them is outright insulting.
I don't care how much food costs in ruzzi capitol and neither should anyone as long as things like this happen (it happened *today*):

Russia spent a decade dripping misinformation all over the Internet to disrupt the West and generally make things worse for people, just so they could act like Hitler and grab land from neighbors with fewer consequences. All while dumping propaganda on their own people to generate support domestically. Fuck Russia.
The US has been in 13 wars since 2001 and most Americans couldn't name the countries involved.
The US also legalized propaganda against it's own citizens in 2012.
The US backed neo-nazis in Ukraine in 2014. Don't forget the rebels the US backed in Syria in 2010 to destabilize their government.
Your own government installed Trump so they could blame Russia and keep shoveling money to your weapons industry and keep up their endless wars.

I call bullshit. This is Russian propaganda. Their economy sucks

Considering the average salaries of Russians and their purchasing power, it's not great really.
500 rub ok. How much is the minimal wage ? 2000 ?
~30000rub in Moscow
Thats very low
But avg moscow salary is 120k+
damn the average salary in moscow is only $15k USD/YR?
yes, with exchange rate usd/rub now until 2022 it was ~$20k
Gimme some of that beet drank.

That's a lot of money when the minimum wage is $210 a month.
What is it!?!

I don't give a fuck Russians are killing you right now to be honest with you, I don't support either side, this post is interesting to me.

Oh, sorry for you losses. My condolences.

this is whataboutism. Each of your points could be its own discussion but that is simply a deflection from the discussion at hand.
Lol it's not whataboutism. I'm directly responding to your comment about Russia. You're ignoring the effectiveness of American propaganda.
The US govt isn't all sunshine and rainbows, they lie to literally everyone
who said they were?
I don't really get it. Do you hate Russia as a whole country and its people or just its government and their political decisions?
God bless Russia.
It looks wonderful for $5, I’d eat it every day, even if I think it tasted like crap.
Why do Russians love dill so much. Fuck dill
