Look on the bright side,, if you have rubles, you will receive 16 percent return. Then again that savings only affects a very small amount of wealthy citizens as the average hard working Russian only makes 8 to 15 US dollars a day. Butter alone will cost you a many hours to afford.
Sadly, I think that number is their reality. The US has seen a slow increase of 20 percent since 2016. Even before then, we saw a 10 percent increase starting in 2014. Could Putin possibly be running out of money to prop up his economy? Could the US be running out of tax money to keep propping up the stock markets? We shall see if the tyrants in control can sustain a global melt down.
If I was a Russian, I would be questioning why we aren't the richest country on earth. It's the largest, has unlimited timber and other natural resources, med-like climate, arctic and everything in between. We could grow everything we need. Have a thriving tourist industry in our cities, and beach resorts further south within a few hours flight from Central/Eastern Europe. All we have to do is not attack anyone. No one is looking to invade us. What are we doing wrong.
The leaders are pocketing all the wealth from natural resources that should be going towards the people to have schools, hospitals, roads, better pensions etc.
I am uncomfortable reminding you that our economy only became a market economy 30 years ago, people only learned about capitalism, we did not have the money to build and develop a business. Of course, we are not China, but in these 30 years we have been able to do something. From one of the poorest countries in the world, we have become a country that easily survives under the largest sanctions, develops and, according to the forecasts of the World Bank, everything will be fine.
Well, permafrost & deserts don't sustain agriculture well, & half of Russia is permafrost or desert. Also, stealing from yourselves is too easy to do. You have laws but the people at the top ignore them. That sets a social climate. Whatever the leaders do is what regular folks feel OK doing. Logistics is also a huge problem for you. Your Country is just too damned big. Transporting stuff such long distances adds costs that go straight to consumers.
@@pshh-pshh - You were partially correct. Russia only developed into close to being a first world country because investment of companies from the west, and ONLY because of that. Western governments allowed that in the hopes that Russian leaders could learn that imperialistic thinking should be a thing of the past, and look how good every can have it if we all just work together. But, the leaders of Russia thought that the economic might that we, the west, built for them empowered them to attack smaller nations. Now, the future of the Russian Federation is very bleak indeed. It looks as if the Russian Federation may break up into smaller nations, just as the USSR did in the 1990s. If that doesn't happen, the standards of living there will still revert to those of the middle 1900s or worse. It's a shame, really. Russia cannot seem to rid herself of corrupt warmongering leaders.
Another culture, no? We don't like big malls too much, we prefer smaller shops. Also, this is good, but not the most popular for sure, it's far from center etc
We shop either online or near our home. There are several hundreds of shopping malls in Moscow Such remoted shopping malls are popular only during weekends It's quite obvious
this shopping center is not in a very convenient location. 15 years ago I went there often, but each time it took a lot of time, because there are traffic jams on the Moscow Ring Road, plus I had to change two buses and there is no metro near the shopping center. Now there are a lot of shopping centers, for example, the Columbus shopping center (you can look at the map), there are always a lot of people there, because it is conveniently located and there are always a lot of people, especially on weekends. It's not about sanctions, but about location. And now online orders are very popular, when everything is delivered literally to the next house. Therefore, many people simply place orders by phone
Just open hours from monday to Friday school days, even in Mexico, which do not haves international sanctions of any kind, ALL STORES are empty... Would be interesting to consider take this video near Christmas day.....
Hello Russell and thank you for your video. what a lot of people don’t realize is that shopping malls should really look no different because they are not sanctioned. Consumer goods are not sanctioned. Food items are not sanctioned. So one would expect the stores to still be full.
They may not be sanctionned, but foreign suppliers still want their money to be dollars or euros. The result is that many prices are similar to what you would find in Berlin, but remember that people in Berlin earn much more than the average moscovite.
It would be better to compare prices two years ago and now - this is where you can see the effect of sanctions very well. you can still buy everything, but now the price is significantly higher
I wouldn't say there "Significantly higher" prices have gone up, but they have all over the world as well. Russia is luck to have a local of local production, and also can only get thing from the neighboring CIS countries or China.
@@TravellingwithRussell inflation rate european zone 2,3% at the end of october 2024 (y on y),...no need to rise the interest rate above 20% and no need to import the bad chinese food...
So if the country is doing so well . Why the value of the Ruble fallen to over 100 to 1 Ruble. Why are interest rates now 21% . Why are loan defaults at their highest ever.
Thank you for the calm slow walk-through and factual opinion-free commentary! It would be interesting to see how turnover, sales volumes and stock turns have been developing over, say, the past five years... But that probably all is commercially confidential data per each business and impossible to obtain. The stores that are open all look very flash and fully stocked. But one reason for fully stocked shelves can obviously be that there is little demand. If that is the case it is not going to improve much in light of the rouble continuing its decline against all other major currencies, and seeing that so many goods are imported... In principle, this should create new opportunities for domestic businesses, but they are facing two challenges: a significant labour shortage, and very high interest rates. Where is this going to lead?
doesn't matter if its a weekend or a weekday. sanction or no sanction this does not generate any revenue. the only purpose of having a store in a mall is to get more foot traffic. but as it seems this does not have any traffic at all.
Most Russians don't go to malls. We're ordering everything. We have a different shopping system. I don't go to the shops, they bring everything to me. Food. Clothes. Why go to the store to waste time on this? I'd rather go to the theater, the museum, the restaurant. And the store will come to me by itself.
@@ЛидияСинильникова help me understand why do businesses open physical stores if everything is online. its very expensive to run a physical store. having merchandise on display, paying people to work in it, utilities, rent, your POS/till and card payment devices, not to mention the cost for renovating the shop is huge up front cost. the same goes why would anyone open a physical store if all the buyers are online. what benefit do they get. the cost of building a mall with the sheer size they are only for theater does not make sense economically. let alone the individual stores will have to spend at least 50,000-100,000USD upfront to even get the stores ready does not make sense. why spend 100,000USD on a store if your buyers are online. why not use the money for inventory to reduce end user cost instead of opening a store at a mall. I'm asking from a business perspective.

The stuff is there and the people are missing, the parking lot is completely empty... the shops are empty and even the supermarket will have 2 or 3 checkouts open at most, I don't expect it to last long
The interest rate in Russia is currently 21% and rising, and inflation probably higher. I live in a country nearby Russia... Rate 3,3% with prognosis of reaching 2% within 2025. Government just present gigantic plan for infrastructure to stimulate the economy, create jobs and make life more comfortable for our inhabitants. Russia spends 40% of the budget on warfare which Russia pays for with high inflation-money - which creates nothing - just misary and future costs. ...and Russell continuously shows half filled average shopping centres... Somehow it makes the audiance happy to see western brands in tye shelves - as a "victory"? (Think of the insane cost to get them?) When peace is negotiated, do you really think that there are any western companies interested to invest in Russia with the insane risk of loosing it all when the president goes bananas even more? We get along with our lives just fine without Russia. The small cooperation we had in the energy sector is sadly degraded and will stay in the margin for many decades to come... ...but keep on feeling proud for your shopping centres for now. I'm glad that something can melt a frozen heart...
Interesting how a couple of years ago Russell would say the malls and food courts were packed and thriving and now he says they “overbuilt” the food courts because there’s so much empty space.
I have always said there over built. There is so much space in Russia for huge malls like this one. Even the number of parking spaces at this mall is in the 1000s. This mall is very unique in Moscow compared to many others.

lol nobody is shopping because they can't afford anything. In Russia a pack of 250g cherry tomatoes costs £1.42 but in the UK they're only £0.83 for the same thing. Also as of the most recent data: In the UK, the average annual salary is around £33,000-£35,000. In Russia, the average annual salary is around £8,000-£10,000 So British wages are generally around 3-4 times higher than Russian wages on average. Let's see that in another perspective, by purchasing power when a Russian person buys 1 pack of cherry tomatoes I can buy about 6 packs. That's 6 to 1, hello! Do you now comprehend the scale of the problem in Russia?
@@jerrylee4485 I believe, the video was recorded in an afternoon. Like almost everywhere else in the world, people are at work. Currently in Russia, unemployment is very low. A recent IMF report has stated "The Russian economy could grow up to 4.2% during 2024" At the beginning of 2024, The IMF forecast The Russian economy will continue to grow from 2.5% to 3.6% through 2024" A recent article in The Hindustan Times amended the percentage increase to 3.8%. The World Bank reported, "The Russian economy is on an upward trajectory" Could you give me, the percentage rate of growth across The Eurozone ?
Go to any mall or shopping centre in uk and youll find lots of boarded up, empty shops. Lack of people totally depends on what day and time you go. Go to any big shopping mall in scotland at, say 9am on a tuesday, and you'll find them mostly deserted.
Parking there must be a nightmare. Where do you park? Even though Mega looks deserted the businesses within are definitely booming. That’s because millions of people are shopping there every week. They just don’t go shopping during on Tuesday afternoons. You see, things have never been better. We know this because Putin and his lackies are telling us so. They are saying that ever since Russia has been sanctioned by the west, its economy has never been stronger, of course.

*You have to bear in mind that the AVERAGE PENSION in Russia in 2024 is only € 240 = 258 US-$ and the average SALARY is 670 € = 720 US $!* General inflation in Russia rose very significantly to around 9% in the second half of 2024. *The central bank has therefore raised the key interest rate to an incredible 21%!* This in turn is a disaster for investments, which are falling sharply. The decline in newly started construction projects is over 50%!
He forgot to state that the Central Bank of the Russian Federation has been subordinate to him since the collapse of the USSR, the Central Bank, according to the Russian Constitution, does not have the right to promote the growth of the Russian economy, but it has the right to promote the growth of the economies of Western countries, because of this, Putin's words about Russia's sovereignty create doubts in me, the Central Bank of Russia is trying as much as possible to slow down the development of the Russian economy, and Russian politicians are doing nothing about it
@@Oomph6006The information he gave are new, read the reports of the IMF TODAY or YESTERDAY, I don't remember when the IMF published the report. Russia actually fourth as he wrote. Japan in actually BEHIND Russia. Love it or not, but it's a fact actually.
@@Oomph6006 According to the IMF, Russia has been the 4th Economy in the world in terms of PPP since 2021, when Russia overtook Japan. It is necessary to calculate the economy by PPP, and not by nominal figures. Calculating the country's economy in nominal figures does not mean anything, for example, in the United States, income from prostitutes is taken into account in GDP. Imagine, you got a haircut at a barbershop in the USA for $ 30, and in Russia for $ 10. At face value, the United States writes itself $30 of GDP and Russia 10, although they performed exactly the same actions. The same thing happens if tomatoes are grown in the USA for $ 5 per kilogram, and in Russia for a $ 1,5 per kilogram. Therefore, it is necessary to count by PPP.

I am fairly certain that the "Russian Stockmann" is a case of the parent company leaving and the local partner continuing the business under a different name, just like with McDonald's. Although the "fake Stockmann" looked just like the "real" one on the inside
Stockmann's trademark was licensed to a local operator as early as 2019, and they have the right to use it until 2028. The original Stockmann has not operated in Russia since 2019.
Was this filmed during the pandemic? In my town, for example-on a Tuesday around 11 a.m., right in the middle of the pandemic-there were more people in the mall than in this footage. Don’t even try saying they were at work, because I won’t believe you. Maybe they’re at the Ukrainian front or on their way there?
I decided to come back to this mall, first because I haven't been there in over 1 year my self.

Hi from Brisbane. I am amazed at the amount of English in various signs.
Yeah. They hate the West... except when they buy Western goods.
Thank you for the calm slow walk-through and factual opinion-free commentary!
It would be interesting to see how turnover, sales volumes and stock turns have been developing over, say, the past five years... But that probably all is commercially confidential data per each business and impossible to obtain. The stores that are open all look very flash and fully stocked. But one reason for fully stocked shelves can obviously be that there is little demand. If that is the case it is not going to improve much in light of the rouble continuing its decline against all other major currencies, and seeing that so many goods are imported... In principle, this should create new opportunities for domestic businesses, but they are facing two challenges: a significant labour shortage, and very high interest rates. Where is this going to lead?
Отличное видео❤
doesn't matter if its a weekend or a weekday. sanction or no sanction this does not generate any revenue. the only purpose of having a store in a mall is to get more foot traffic. but as it seems this does not have any traffic at all.
Most Russians don't go to malls. We're ordering everything. We have a different shopping system. I don't go to the shops, they bring everything to me. Food. Clothes. Why go to the store to waste time on this? I'd rather go to the theater, the museum, the restaurant. And the store will come to me by itself.
@@ЛидияСинильникова help me understand why do businesses open physical stores if everything is online. its very expensive to run a physical store. having merchandise on display, paying people to work in it, utilities, rent, your POS/till and card payment devices, not to mention the cost for renovating the shop is huge up front cost. the same goes why would anyone open a physical store if all the buyers are online. what benefit do they get. the cost of building a mall with the sheer size they are only for theater does not make sense economically. let alone the individual stores will have to spend at least 50,000-100,000USD upfront to even get the stores ready does not make sense. why spend 100,000USD on a store if your buyers are online. why not use the money for inventory to reduce end user cost instead of opening a store at a mall. I'm asking from a business perspective.
@@anonNemoэто правда про доставку. Даже у меня в маленьком городе я заказываю еду , причем приносят за 15 минут.

The interest rate in Russia is currently 21% and rising, and inflation probably higher.
I live in a country nearby Russia...
Rate 3,3% with prognosis of reaching 2% within 2025.
Government just present gigantic plan for infrastructure to stimulate the economy, create jobs and make life more comfortable for our inhabitants.
Russia spends 40% of the budget on warfare which Russia pays for with high inflation-money - which creates nothing - just misary and future costs.
...and Russell continuously shows half filled average shopping centres...
Somehow it makes the audiance happy to see western brands in tye shelves - as a "victory"?
(Think of the insane cost to get them?)
When peace is negotiated, do you really think that there are any western companies interested to invest in Russia with the insane risk of loosing it all when the president goes bananas even more?
We get along with our lives just fine without Russia.
The small cooperation we had in the energy sector is sadly degraded and will stay in the margin for many decades to come...
...but keep on feeling proud for your shopping centres for now.
I'm glad that something can melt a frozen heart...

In Russia a pack of 250g cherry tomatoes costs £1.42 but in the UK they're only £0.83 for the same thing.
Also as of the most recent data:
In the UK, the average annual salary is around £33,000-£35,000.
In Russia, the average annual salary is around £8,000-£10,000
So British wages are generally around 3-4 times higher than Russian wages on average.
Let's see that in another perspective, by purchasing power when a Russian person buys 1 pack of cherry tomatoes I can buy about 6 packs.
That's 6 to 1, hello!

What A lovely shopping centre, such a shame the little man messed it all up,
Go to any mall or shopping centre in uk and youll find lots of boarded up, empty shops. Lack of people totally depends on what day and time you go. Go to any big shopping mall in scotland at, say 9am on a tuesday, and you'll find them mostly deserted.
The same here in Russia, people work, people go to school. Malls are busy here on the weekends or right now doing the 10 day New Year holidays.
Wait - in your original 2 year ago video, did you go to the mall on a Tuesday afternoon? Because that , at least, would be a data point.
Parking there must be a nightmare. Where do you park? Even though Mega looks deserted the businesses within are definitely booming. That’s because millions of people are shopping there every week. They just don’t go shopping during on Tuesday afternoons. You see, things have never been better. We know this because Putin and his lackies are telling us so. They are saying that ever since Russia has been sanctioned by the west, its economy has never been stronger, of course.
In Russia you don't need a parking, because you got no car.

It is necessary to calculate the economy by PPP, and not by nominal figures. Calculating the country's economy in nominal figures does not mean anything, for example, in the United States, income from prostitutes is taken into account in GDP.
Imagine, you got a haircut at a barbershop in the USA for $ 30, and in Russia for $ 10. At face value, the United States writes itself $30 of GDP and Russia 10, although they performed exactly the same actions. The same thing happens if tomatoes are grown in the USA for $ 5 per kilogram, and in Russia for a $ 1,5 per kilogram. Therefore, it is necessary to count by PPP.
