Odd you can see dozens of REAL RUSSIAN'S showing prices in store a fraction of the cost in the west in case you have not figured out like all the Anti China channels popping up with China will collapse in a week PS it's economy is leaving Israelistan in the dust. We now see CUTSIECgirls with Anti Russia stories I C A problem do do you clearly not you fell for it.
Yulla, I love your content, I show your videos to alot of people to give them a glimpse of the real Russia. But be careful, as your channel grows and more attention is drawn to your channel be careful. I hope you find a way out and achieve a better quality of life.
@@lukasomasta2333 I completely disagree, being in the U.S. military, I've seen a lot of Europe. I am currently on my second deployment to Poland. I lived in Germany for a while and dated a Lithuanian girl. From what I can see, there are differences to living in the U.S. vs Europe, but Europeans seem free to live their lives. They seem entitled to an opinion and able to vote and have a say in their leadership. My favorite is Czechia, I could totally see myself transplanting to Prague. Or Lithuania, maybe Latvia, I could live in Poland as well.
When I first saw your posts I didn’t quite know what to think, now I totally get it. You’ve not just got a fantastic sense of humour, but you also have a good grasp of sarcasm and the reality on the ground in Russia. But I worry about your safety, factual content from Russia these days is increasingly rare. X
I am French and seeing these prices in such a shop is outrageous, it's extremely expensive. In Intermarché in France, we have much better products and just a bit higher prices than what you have shown.
The ruble is worth .05 US dollars so anything imported will be very expensive. No country will accept rubles they are worthless. Russia has also raised interest rates for Russians. The war costs hundreds of millions of dollars a day, billions of dollars a year. On top of that the work force of young men is shrinking which cuts the countries productivity.
Russia does not trade in Dollars has not for a long time so any Dollar comparisin is pointless the USD is worthless it costs more to print a dollar than its actually worth.

Thanks, for the nice witty video about prices of food and wages in Russia. I liked the footage of different food shops around where you live, BTW I'm not loving the tongue, yuck!. 👍🍗🍕🥩😄❤️
Hello Antony! Thank YOU for your support, you know how much I appreciate it! what does witty mean though? Can you imagine, they even got sandwiches with COW TONGUE IN THEM, EEEEEEW. Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!
Here we deal with drug addiction and mental illness as far as 1/2 of homeless population in US. I really hope you can get the subscriber numbers you seek for a visa outside of Russia- your English is good and you could be a good brand ambassador
Thank you for letting us know about your time and experience in the USA. I had previously wondered how that went for you. I think you are very bright and wish the best for you.
I didn't know how to spell New York till after your video. I had to stare and memorize it! on a serious note, Thank you for being real and speaking the truth. We need more people like you in the world.
@@KittenYuliastop complaining. You are beautiful, you could find a man and marry him and get your family out of poverty . What’s love? Love is caring about your family . Lust fades , get out while you can and get your family out. I live in Ukraine 6 months a year and Australia 6 months a year. You could go to Australia and escape the cold . Your family could work here after your husband sponsors them .
Exchange rate and cost of living are a pair of very big problems right in front of us. Cost of living adjustments are laughable in the face of the ridiculous amount of inflation going on in those two areas. But when you get right down to it whether they're bouncing up and down separately or moving in the same direction they will eventually cause a violent release that will result in an equilibrium being reached. We need to wipe the sweat off our brows and reduce the amount of time we spend in the red to get to this point, but it will take rockhard stoicism.
I take my hat off to you for having the courage to comment, I do hope this does not cause you trouble, praise you for telling the truth in a world of lies and the propaganda of hate, I hope for things to change and all this sabre rattling to come to nothing and become history for us all
Come on Baba, don't you have a garden??????? 🤑 Lol, just kidding Jules, thanks so much for your satirical commentary. I am always smiling during your videos even though I know it's about shitty topics.
They just raised the minimum wage in Florida at $13 an hour,that's $520 a week for 40 hours,$19.50 or time and a half for every hour above 40 hours.The minimum wage varies from State to State.
I liked to hear this topic from you, i did not know the income was so low in Russia and the prices of goods are as expensive as usa. I thought because it was very rural that the infrastructure wasn't very developed. My mother is an immigrant from Germany. I feel so lucky to be in america now (new york). I can't understand why the young men in russia are going to the war front in ukraine but the low income starts to explain it a little. I think also the men maybe don't know how bad it is there. My great grandfather was in hitlers wehrmacht (army) not by choice.
The experience you had in the U.S.A. is difficult for people to experience very low prices for certain items. It is not going to last . It happens when far eastern workers are paid far easten wages but their goods are sold elsewhere. Elsewhere loses jobs and gets more unemployment. What you get in countries with no local taxes, purchase tax, vat etc is people wondering why you are not a millionaire. The big one is paying for accomodation rent or mortgage. Plus the student loan these days. So at 21 having graduated you are already in big debt, and nobody is getting married and having kids because they are 30 before they can afford to move out of their parents house. Ok so you werent introduced to these realities and possibly they seemed trivial amounts but a basic home in U.K is about ₽20M, in Capitals of countries it maybe double that. Most of the really poor shop at foodbanks where donated food is given free. Oh yes and petrol is about. ₽160/литр. Seeing a doctor is like dating an astronaut these days. I will only touch on experimental treatments and feeling like i'm an extra in a production of both "A brave new world" and "1984". The demise of europe is just a matter of a couple of years and you will be able to be a very rich tourist, our leaders? have turned into lemmings and were heading for the nearest cliff to atone for our ancestors sins. It maybe bad there but at least they still have sanity.
Can the average Russian achieve success outside of Moscow or St. Petersburg ? For example, does a Russian living in Yakutsk have the same opportunities as someone in Moscow or St. Petersburg ? Thank you for another video. Much love from Mexico!
@@KittenYulia Yeah I mean it might be an extreme comparison between Yakutsk and Moscow but I have friends who live in Samara. They went to work in Moscow and didn't like it so they returned back to Samara
Using the "relative poverty definition" as described by you is quite common. I personally would look more at how difficult is it for poor people to have enough food for their family. In some rural regions people are growing most of their food themselves on their datsha like in good old Soviet times. This kind of economy is called subsistence economy. The really poor Russians have no opportunity to compensate a struggling economy. Some of my Volga-German friends whose families migrated to Germany after the collapse of the USSR and its Iron Curtain in the 1990s often tell how they survived although they did not receive any payment for their day job in Russia. They continued to work as teachers or engineers to westerners this sounds quite crazy. Many people left Russia during this time. The young president Putin had brought wealth to many Russians. His could economic track record in his first decade is one reason why Putin has been so popular among his Russian countrymen. The same happened BTW in Türkiye where president Erdoğan brought wealth to many Türkiyish people. In Türkiye and in Russia poverty has been rising dramatically again for years. As a citizen of the European Union I think quite different about the USA. There's a lot of poverty in some regions of the USA and employee rights are not very developed there. In all European countries the health system for have-nots and the unemployment allowances and the weeks of paid holidays are really superior. But this comes all at a price, we pay much higher taxes and social insurance fees as US Americans. But you will also find slums even in the EU. But you are right there a lot of countries where it's much easier to live a good life as in today's Russia. The life of homeless people in many Western countries is much shorter as of normal working class people. You don't really know what you are talking about if you say living standards of ordinary Russian citizens would be worse than that of homeless people in the USA ( or Western European countries).
Minimum wage $1 in Russia. In US its $8. You work 8 hours in US you make $64. In Russia you make $10 for 8 hours. In Russia you don't pay any tax. In US after tax you get $40 in hand. At the end of the day stuff in US costs more than in Russia. You can do the math lol.
It would be very hard to find a job in the United States that only pays $8 an hour. Gas stations near me (which isn't an expensive metropolitan area) earn $17-$19 an hour. I doubt you could find even a neighborhood kid that will do yard work for less than $15 an hour.
lmao at what place do you have almost 50% taxes on minimum wage? Vatnik islands? I told you I got only $2/hr dollars more than $8 bucks and felt like Bill Gates. And yes I am sure nobody gets $8 an hour in USA, it's probably some paper stuff why they still have $8 in some states, like if they raise that minimum wage they would have to pay more pensions and stuff, because it is tied to minimum wage, they just keep it $8 so they pay less pensions for example, if someone works for $8 - it's pupils from school on a summer job
@@user-ch4ji5ux4s As inflation goes up. Most Americans are not able to afford rent and food. We have 5 million Americans now living in cars. It will only go up. In 10 years. Jobs will be replaced by robots. The unemployment level will go up. Russia is a capitalist country like USA. Learn a good skill you do get paid good. The sparkle of US is slowly fading away. Give another 10 years you all will see.
Wow! You’re indeed spot on and you’re actually talking about how life really is in Russia. Not like these horrendous propagandists-putlerists. People like you are indeed the future for Russia.
Hi Yulia, you should consider coming to Mexico. You don't need a visa. You'll be one step closer to the US and Russian RU-vidrs/influencers do very well here in Mexico. If you do, stick to the bigger cities because those are very safe and have first world infrastructure and services. Sending my best.
Thanks Yulia, sorry things are so bad over there. Funnily enough things have been getting worse for us in the UK, ever since the Soviet Union fell. It's as if they felt they had to give us stuff, to stop us going communist. I wish I could give you more, it's always a pleasure for me 🙏❤
Hello Keith, thank you so much for your support! You know I appreciate ANY help, you should not say "I wish I could give you more", if you are supporting me, it's already enough and I appreciate it, thank you Keith!!!!!!!
Hey julia. Here's hoping that you can trade in the red book for the blue one sooner rather than later. After watching the video I can understand why you said more than once how you'd be happy to take a minimum wage job and even one of the poorest states in the us because even the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is almost 10 times the hourly wage that you would make back in russia. As for your comments about people in Russia not realizing how poor they are, many people who grow up impoverished only become aware of their poverty when they step outside of the place where they grew up as you did in 2019. Please keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you for support SlimDifference!!!!! Yes I wish more people experienced life in western countries, maybe the world would be a better place when everyone thinks how to make life around them better and not chasing unicorns!
72 year old UK pensioner,I am to well off ,YES our state benifits are so good that many many people will NOT work..?.??,but I think UK is the best most tolerate country in the world for its people
This was really well done. Using examples of three hours of work to buy 600 grams chicken was very helpful. I live in New Zealand minimum wage is $22.70 NZD per hour chicken breast is $13.00 NZD per 1000 grams. Keep in mind New Zealand is much more expensive than the US because its a tiny isolated island in the middle of the ocean.
New Zealand produces 25 times more food than it consumes with a population of 5 million so our prices are dictated by the global exchange. I often wonder if we are being dangled as bait to provoke China as our military has been gutted. (China reunification plan 2030-2050)
Vitamin D supplements.There is no way you are getting enough, unless you are eating 3 cans of sprats a day. Vitamin D is super important. And most people are deficient. Especially in Northern Latitudes. Like Russia. I'm being serious. 10,000 IU a day for month. I'm sure you will feel better.
Hey Yulia go some russian stores and show us the prices and quality of food! You got organic food , that's so last year ! In Europe we got GMO 😂you are sooo smart you should be payed more
You're right, really poor people don't think about luxury qualities of e.g. G. certified organic food. In Germany, homeless people steal food from trash cans behind supermarkets and restaurants. Even if the tomatoes are organic, rotten tomatoes are still rotten. Comparing food prices from country to country is meaningless. You have to compare it with the local minimum wage and with how much unemployment allowance the unemployed receive and what a poor pensioner has to live on. Russia does not have a very good social system, but the USA does not have a superior social system either.
Hello John! Thank you for your support a lot!!!! That is actually a good idea, I was thinking about a video of cooking or trying different disgusting russian food like holodec, it's actually a good idea!
Hmm expensive, here in Portugal 2,34 €/Kg Chicken,12 eggs Large €2,34 same price as one chicken, Milk €0,81 /lt. Gasoline most expensive 98+ is €2.054 liter, most expensive Diesel €1.861. That prices can be different each week and sometimes can be in promotion or discount from shops or some kind of accumulation bonus points from buying things !! Emergency/Hospital is free for who need assistance as a fee of 25€ for non emergency cases, but if you can't pay is free. Even if you are not a citizen, everyone have the right to assistance !!! Portugal 740.83 EUR per month (Jun 2020) Portugal and Spain Minimum wage, Spain 1,050.00 EUR per month (Jun 2020) as you see the difference is BIGG =309,17€ a month from one country to another. Thank for explaining about Russia. I hoop things get better down there. Greetings Yulia🤞👋
Bro, the poverty in Russia is worse than I thought. I did not know that most Russian people do not have enough money to buy food 🤔Thank you for announcing the information with proficient English speech.
Everyone is getting richer…..that’s gold in anyone’s language But hey your president announces two borei class nuclear submarines have been commissioned with another 8 on order. Never mind the average salaries and pensions. What better way to spend a counties resources than to end the world, yours included.
" Homeless people in Adidas". Dear Yulia, when you last time was in actual Russia. In 1999? Real prices for comparison: whole chiken in Krasnoyarsk 2.5$ for 1kg. And, yes, do not forget to subtrakt your thousands of dollars of repaying credits, mortgage and taxes before comparing income.
whole chicken in NYC was $3-5 dollars, but it's a whole chicken? do you want to prepare A WHOLE chicken when you get back from work? Chicken breast in my city costs 380 rubles for 600-800 grams, I got chicken breast for less or the same price in NEW YORK CITY, the most expensive city in the world in target for the same weight. About taxes, mortgage and credits, I am so glad people in Russia OBVIOUSLY don't know about these things and nobody pays nothing like bills or credis, only americans are doing it, right? Can you tell me, how does a life of an average russian with a salary of 30k rubles with credits, mortgage and taxes look? Something tells me that an average american Johny has way better life paying his stuff than average people with 30k rubles salary lmao
@@KittenYulia I mean whole chicken carcasses. Why I should buy chicken breast... And "what is the life of an average Russian on a salary of 30,000 roubles with loans, mortgages and taxes"? I know exactly 1 person who fits your criteria and he is doing well despite his idiocy. Literally 1 person out of all my acquaintances. So all you have managed to do is confirm your complete ignorance of life in Russia. Good luck in NY, let's hope the blue-yellow flag will protect you if the political situation gets hot. About taxes and so on in Russia. I have no credits, so taxes+bills+internet+phone is about 4000 roubles per month, which is negligible.
Yulia: thanks indeed for telling us the truth about poverty in Russia! You are very beautiful. I ❤ you. I want to take care of you in Africa. I need to connect with Agronomist to work with me in Regenerative Agriculture. Help me! jtsdrd, USA/Africa.
Hmm..pretty Good piece of explanation Dear ! .😍But It's no doubt Your Country Russians are living a good economical livelihood far more than my banckrupt & corrupt country SriLanka..😔💔👍
You guys have 300,000 less poor people do to special military operations. Well they were middle class until they were eliminated and all those still alive and their families are fine for now. Wish all regular people in Russia would stop saying they are a political and get involved get your damn government to work for the people.
