Two out of five Russians have no savings, according to a Superjob recruitment website survey published by the RBC news website Monday.
According to the poll, 43% of respondents said they have no savings whatsoever. That figure is an increase from 40% in each of the previous two years and 28% in 2008, according to RBC.
Thirteen percent of those who had savings said they’d be able to live on them for less than a month. Another 18% said they would be able to survive for up to two months and 11% for up to half a year.
Only 8% of those polled said they would be able to survive on their savings for up to one year and 7% for more than one year.
More than half of the 43% who have no savings earn less than 50,000 rubles ($680) per month.
The share of Russians who do not plan their costs and savings has grown by double digits since 2019 and now totals 34%.
Superjob conducted the survey among 1,600 adults across all 85 Russian regions between Nov. 9-Dec. 9, RBC reported.

Now you see why Muscovy have to drag Ukraine down to their level. If they don’t, Putler will have his own Red Square Maidan.

I have no savings either, but i have a full fridge, a Playstation and a toilet. Most ruSSians would consider my life luxurious. Putin ruined his country to the core. He only cares about power, not people and their well-being. Just like the soviets.

The rodent convinced the morons of the country that they don’t need filled fridges or luxury game sets or even toilets if it means helping mafia land’s grandeur … meaning Putin’s own personal benefits, of course.

That’s okay. The people’s involuntary frugality serves a higher cause. The people must bring sacrifices so that their crime syndicate clan can play war with its neighbors and live the good life.

Very good! Although the bars on the right could be even lower if we had the right politicians.

That is why Vladolf cannot let Ukraine be Ukraine and think for herself, there would be nothing left of the Russia, in fact it would become New Ukraine.

I posted a chart here
it shows both GDP’s per capita and you can see Ukraine is kicking Putin’s ass. It would be much better too if Russia was civilized but he can’t allow that because it would show democracy and freedom work.
