REPORT: Russian consumer confidence is lowest since 2015. 78% of Russians don't plan any big purchases. Less than 50% have any savings

I feel really sorry for the people who have to live in that shithole country without even basic liberties of freedom of expression.

If it gets much worse, those people are going to shitcan Putin.

Russia is rich compared to most of the rest of the world!

no they will just plant bigger gardens

What constitutes a "big purchase" in Russia, a loaf of bread?
Or a ticket out?

That's exactly how i feel about Canada .

Yeah, that’s a great solution for everyone living in those high rise Soviet area apartment blocks.

Well you should move to that workers paradise of Russia then.

lol

compare to the 98%americans who cant

Tens of millions of Russians living in urban areas are struggling with a lack of basic utilities - 1 in 5 city dwellings have no hot water, and 1 in 10 no indoor sanitation. More than 70 percent of the country’s utilities network is worn out.

And that’s according to Russian State Media propaganda.

I think I’d stay in Canada if I were him.

Indoor Plumbing Still a Pipe Dream for 20% of Russian Households

Russia leads the developed world with the worst sanitation record, according to the London-based WaterAid NGO. An estimate citing official data placed the number of Russians whose households are only equipped with outhouses at 35 million, or roughly a quarter of the population.

Of the 22.6 percent of households without a centralized sewage system, 16.8 percent use a system of pipes connected to pit toilets, RBC cited the Russian State Statistics Service, Rosstat, as saying. The other 5.8 percent lack a sewage system altogether.

In rural Russia, almost two-thirds have no access to indoor toilets, 48.1 percent of whom use outhouses and 18.4 percent do not have a sewage system.

No you didn’t. You’re just another gaslighting Russian shill.

Coming soon to the good 'ol US of A!

No worries if you’re in the elite Russian oligarchy class.

While Russia is a very resource-rich country, it suffers from intense social inequality. The top 1% of the Russian population control 71% of the nation’s wealth. 13% of Russians are currently living in poverty. Unfortunately, the majority of people living in extreme poverty are children. 60% of those living below the poverty line in Russia are families with children. As a result of social inequality, child poverty in Russia continues to rise. Currently, one in four Russian children lives below the poverty line.

Russia is one of the world’s largest exporters of oil. As such, those that control the oil industry generate great wealth. However, this leaves many others to suffer in poverty. The nation has a high unemployment rate, but people who have obtained employment often suffer as well. The minimum wage in Russia is among the lowest of all developed countries. The monthly minimum wage in Russia is 12,310 rubles, which is the equivalent of $196.

Additionally, 26% of Russian children live off of close to $150 per month. Child poverty in Russia is most prevalent in rural areas, as many do not have access to employment opportunities in the city. The majority of children living in poverty reside with their families. Most families have three children and are often unable to sustain themselves with their current income.

But this is from Russian State Media.

Is this supposed to be a joke? US consumer confidence is the lowest in 40 YEARS!

Pretty lame attempt at whataboutism.

The U.S. Consumer Confidence Index now stands at its lowest level since February 2021 (Index, 95.2).

Yes the sanctions are slowly but surely destroying the Russian economy.

The sanctions are never going to end.

When the wall fell Russia was opened to the west and the theory was that over time Russia would become part of the rest of the world.

It did not so Russia is being cut off again.

Same is happening with China but slower since China is so intertwined.

Sounds like America, I plan no big purchases !

Canada is benefiting of USA stripping the rest of the world. The confort we have can easily be lost . Comparing the two is showing lack of history knowledge .

Lol...

Way to spin.

Another way to put it is 22% of Russians plan to make a large purchase, and 50% have savings. Meaning most with savings probably don't plan to blow it on large purchases because they're wise with money.

Sounds like they're doing way better than the west right now, just saying.

"Lend-Lease, formally the Lend-Lease Act and introduced as An Act to Promote the Defense of the United States (Pub.L. 77–11, H.R. 1776, 55 Stat. 31, enacted March 11, 1941), was a policy under which the United States supplied Great Britain, the Soviet Union and other Allied nations with food, oil, and materiel between 1941 and 1945. It was given on the basis that such help was essential for the defense of the United States; this aid included warships and warplanes, along with other weaponry. It was signed into law on March 11, 1941, and ended on September 20, 1945. In general, the aid was free, although some hardware (such as ships) were returned after the war. Canada, already a belligerent, supplemented its aid to Great Britain with a similar, smaller program called Mutual Aid."

"Totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today's currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.”

US taxpayers are still servicing this debt.

Without the US supplying Russia they would have lost WW2.

Following the war Russia turned on the USA and threatened to annihilate the USA for decades until the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Then after a brief period the Russians are back at it.

Does it?

You should consider emigrating to Russia.

USA is about to given a kick in his ass in ukraine . Best nato army with best arms is getting destoyed . In 45 the USA was a nation, in 22 it's a corrupt vassale of the bankers .
