    Why is it so hard for people to understand that it is the wrong way to look only at the price of a product in a country . That doesn’t matter at all . The question to be asked is, how long must I work , to be able to buy the product . Because $ 5 in one country , can be cheaper , then $ 1 in another country.

    Economically it's impossible to for the RUB to be fixed to 92rub to $1 for so long, especially during Russia's spending on their invasion and with the sanctions imposed. How that Putin has secured office for the 6th time, I have a feeling he's going to allow the RUB to free fall now that the elections are over. I'm curious to see what the next update will look like in a couple of months by year end.

Так что критического падения рубля не будет, большая часть продуктов местная и из союзных стран СНГ, так же и техника завозится из дружественных стран, а расчет происходит только частично в долларах

Canadians are stupid and vote Trudeau, therefore deserve high grocery prices. If it bothered them, they wouldn't vote for these people posing as federal Liberals, because they're NOT. They're socialists subjecting Canadians to the crackpot theories of the WEF and lowering living standards faster than any time in Canadian history.

      Grocery chains often impose their prices as they can't do it with renown brands.
      Then they charge back unsold or stolen items. So they always make profits.
      I don't know for other countries but here in France, Supermarkets make net profits ranging from 2 to 7.5%. The bigger the supermarket, the lower percentage, but also the more cashflow as what is called "hypermarket" here are at least 50,000 sqm and generate revenues from 450 millions euros to 1.5 billions every week. 2 or 3% net profits are insanely huge.

    The problem is not, that prices are rising in Russia, but the fact, that usual Russian pension is 10000 rubles (100$). And usual salary in Russian provincial towns is 30000 (300$) (for working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week). In other words, the problem is not how quickly prices are rising in Russia, but the ratio of prices for food and housing and communal services - and wages/pensions.

    Just checked out the price for the Garnier Fructis shampoo over here in Montreal, Canada.
    The price ranges from C$3.47 to C$4.77 for a 370ml bottle at Walmart, Amazon, etc. Which equates to a price of 224 to 308 rubles.
    Converting to the Russian small bottle (250ml) works out to 152 to 209 rubles. The Russian large bottle (400ml) works out to 242 to 333 rubles. Which means it's slightly less expensive in Canada.
    But a Canadian has about 4x the median income of a Russian and could actually afford to buy four bottles instead of one.
    So, that's a pretty expensive bottle of shampoo if you're an ordinary Russian. I'd be curious to know what the price of a local Russian brand of shampoo is? Probably not so expensive.

According to the most common version, the name of the dish arose from the way it was consumed by hands. There is another version of the origin of the name of the dish. For example, P. S. Nazarov believes that this is what it is called because unleavened dough is put into this dish in pieces, previously kneaded with five fingers

    The thing is what is made in Russia is cheaper then the West but if you want Western Goods then you are going to pay more. Even under sanction you still can get sanctioned stuff. For her shampoo I would guess she buys Western so it should not be a surprise she pays more. Looked it up, the shampoo she buys is from a French Company, Surprise!

    I have never seen bagged milk but people in the United States tell me we have it in some states. So you've taught me something I never knew. Bags seem to fragile to transport.

    *Sveta thank you for the update on prices. Egyptian mud is not bad for 109 rubles. 😄 Your hair reminds me of Farrah Fawcett.*

    Hi there. I enjoy your RUclips channel. I wanted to mention that Crest and Colgate are two different toothpaste products in the USA. This was an interesting video. Keep them coming.

    Hi Svetlana,
    Thank you for your interesting video.
    The prices of products (pringles, Coke, Monini oil, Fructis etc.) are identical in Switzerland. It looks like a Brand Cartel is being applied 😬.
    What are the costs of flat rents, health taxes and taxes in Russia?
