To answer your question about the iPhone 16. The average price for a normal iPhone 16 with 128 mb storage is starting from around €850,00 at this moment here in The Netherlands 🇳🇱
@djnoteazy it's depending on several things. The average Dutch salary at this moment is somewhere between €2600-€2800 (middle educated). But if you have a higher education and/or a manager function at a company it's a little bit more.
dear, when prices change due to outside factors like exchange rate, it can take months for it to work in to the system. Many times those outside factors rebalance and may not even see a price change. Most stores price based on shipment. When a store receives that shipment, it was bulk purchased from suppliers at a fixed price for that order at that time. Now shady businesses can raise prices early but most good businesses don't. Here in US we have what is called sticky prices sometimes. lol. Sticky prices is where the price goes up faster then costs go up but stay higher longer after the supply prices go down. We see this often at gas stations. I worked on wallstreet so this stuff is just basic economics. Like I posted before, go out and price a brake system for you trains. You cant get it... so priceless. china is trying to fill that gap but china lacks high end manufacturing. russia nor china can make high end ball bearings that are needed in pretty much everything. before the war, russia did not even make nails domestically.

Here (in Mexico) I must say that laptops are maybe 20 percent cheaper, the ACs are more expensive. The cooking stuff and washing machines are cheaper in YOUR COUNTRY...... And we are not SANCTIONED!!!!!. So, regarding electronics, I really don't SEE sanctions
What kind of warranty is there? Most of of those products are not available in here because they cannot get pass electric safety test or cant pass warranty checks (tv must last minimum 4 years) and washing machine 10-12 years. And shop has guarantee that any electrical device will last at least 12 months. Phones are almost same here 70-130€ cheaper in here. Aircondition is anywhere from 70€-1900€ depending how efficient it needs to be. Those electric cooking things are kinda useles here because everyone has electric ovens.
According to the law, the warranty must be 1 year, but I have no idea how it will work in current situation. Probably stores will have to take this risk.
Hi Natasha! The last tech device I purchased was my iphone 15 in March for $1020. I don't buy electronics unless I really need one and I don't window shop in these stores like I use to. Thank you for the update in Krasnodar and God bless you!🙏
The prices of electronics are in line with those in Italy...only you have expensive products from brands unknown in Europe or the US. Unfortunately everything is compromised commercially.
Just for matching, as an example , router tp link archer a64 . It cost 35€ - 45€ in europe and 75€ in russian offical stores like DNS, MVideo, Citilink etc. The same for branded electronics like LG TV sets, russian prices are 1.5 - 2 as high than in Europe and USA.
I just found it for 51 euro online in Ozon. But yes, usually prices for European electronics much higher because of complex logistics. I assume some products even with EU logo delivered directly from China without additional costs. But money transfer comissions went high as well.
@@maximsl everything from Europe is much more expensive in Russia, I agree. But you usually have a way to avoid it buy using China analogue if it exists or searching for advertisements in online stores. It does not always work however. Sometimes you have to pay full price. I don't have a TV for about 20 years, so I have no idea how much it cost. But I bought 2 Xiaomi gaming displays last year and it is good.
In honor of Sergei Magnitsky and all others who were falsely imprisoned, tortured, and murdered, it's awesome to hear that Russia is at the top of the list of sanctioned countries.
You cannot match directly OZON market prices becouse that marketplace trade with refurbished broken used crap. And would anything happen with the elecronics they do no take none warranty for sold to you product.
it is not 100% true. But yes, sometimes you can be scammed with Ozon sellers, so have to be careful. But I bought an excellent Lenovo R7000P in 2023 from China via Ozon and had not issues and it was 30-40% cheaper comparing to the same model in a regular store.
@3:27 "We don't have dryers!" In Australia I guess many have driers but I use a clothes line outside or my gas heater inside during winter. Electricity here is a stupid price which means even if I owned a drier I couldn't afford to use it.
In Finland, there's not really much price difference between physical stores and online stores. Big retail chains are also online, and the price is the same both ways. For example in electronics, big chains include companies such as Gigantti (a Norwegian owned chain) and Power (also a Norwegian chain) and hypermarket chains such as the Finnish Prisma, which all have online stores as well and same prices irrespective of the sales platform. Verkkokauppa is a big online store but it also has a couple of physical stores. Amazon hasn't really become popular yet in Finland and doesn't have Finland specific operations.
I like this kind of Vlogs.. Maybe you can make a Video in future about russian food and how to cook it step by step so we can try to cook it at home too like you do it would be interessting to test i think
The lap top prices actually sounded about average, and I noticed brands you would find in the west (ASUS and Acer for example), actually the washing machines for the lower end ones were cheaper than I thought
Take into account the Russian minimum wage is 7.25 dollars an hour . For Russians working 40 hours a week that is 300 dollars a week . Rent in Russia for a nice apartment is around 100 dollars a week . So living standards in Russia quite good Seeing that food and energy is very cheap I have a friend who lives in a two bedroom apartment in central Moscow . It costs him 260 British pounds a month. That includes gas and Electricity . You can rent a studio apartment in Moscow for 180 pounds a month .
@ I follow property prices and rental in Russia especially in Moscow via a friend I know who lives there . He lives in a two bedroom apartment seven kilometres from the kremlin . It costs him 260 British pounds a month ( 80 dollars a week ) . That includes gas and electricity You can get a studio apartment an hour from Moscow for 160 pounds a month . You are wrong
@johnymnemonic4657 Nope, I was in Russia 2021, ruble was about almost 90 per 1 euro, and now about 109 for 1 euro. Ruble going up down because it's not fake curse like Euro, or our Serbian dinar. Here in Serbia dinar always same, but prices of products showing different
The Russian Best Buy! Those prices convert to Canadian dollars and seem pretty good. But that's because the average monthly income here is maybe $4000 USD. I'm not sure what the Russian monthly salary is these days
it doesn't matter the income, people buy electronics all over the world regardless of the minimum wage. actually in third word countries electronics are way more expensive yet people still buy them. You would be surprised people buy latest apple products with $700 monthly salary very oftem. You might earn more in gross salary but you pay more taxes, health-care, rent, electricity, etc... at the end of the day almost everyone lives paychecks to paycheck all over the world.
IT LOOKS LIKE A best buy. Not many of those left as online shopping is normal. Prices look very similar to USA. Exchange rate impacts every country positive or negative depends on date and country. Your income also affects what is "High Price" Hard to judge pc without specs and reviews but similar to here.
Approx uk prices are iphone 16 pro is £1000 =133,000 rubles Average UK salary £37,500 = 5 million rubles. In UK you can pay monthly at 0% interest over 24 months.
The West is also sanctioned by Russia ! We just stopped doing business, that is all, as it was in the good all times of the Soviet Unions, when both the West and USSR had their best economic periods. Like your president said, we should strongly SUPPORT the sanctions and a return of the IRON CURTAIN. It gives Russia a lot of new OPPORTUNITIES ❤
русские люди просто не привыкли к сушилке, и да в хрущёвке нет под неё места. но это такая прелесть, что просто надо один раз попробовать. и кстати есть машинки 2в1. Но в отдельных сушилках барабан больше и бельё меньше мнется. Сушилка - это не только возможность за 5-6 часов постирать, высушить и одеть обратно вещь, которая у вас существует в единственном экземпляре (любимые джинсы, пуховки, постельное бельё), но и дополнительная степень очистки. На фильтрах сушилки остаётся дофига пыли и грязи, а также все кошачьи волосы.
@anthonyferris8912 What is crashing? Those who advance at any place of line of contact crashing? If you look history, Russia everytime first start loosing, than after they become very strong and defeat any enemy, so strong that they can take all Europe. Napoleon and Hitler knew that. Russia can't be defeated. I am only afraid because west playing dirty games, I am afraid that they do not deceive Russia, and that Russians start to trust west again. I am afraid west do not harm Russia from inside. They will remove sanctions and pretend to be partners, but Russians must not forget that they are danger enemies in which they can't trust. They want to crash Russia as they crashed many countries.
The selection of consumer electronics on show in the store, I wouldn't bother with them because so much is lacking in variety. Where I'm based in the British Isles, anyone can pop into a small audio/visual store and purchase anything you like and haggle on the price for cash. Another place is if you are camera equipment, then that is another ball game. If you are a proper audiophile enthusiast, travel to Hong Kong to visit spectacular shops that they have. As for a iPhone 16, retailing at £999.00.
Do you use Windows 11 on computers? What about Chromebooks? Do you have Microsoft and Google support for them? I live in NYC, and I recently noticed that mainstream TVs became very cheap. Last time I bought a TV was some time ago, because if one has a couple of TVs at home usually one doesn't upgrade every year. I upgrade my computers every 4 years, however.
The monerary prices don't seem too much higher than I see elsewhere. What is missing is the number of working hours needed to earn that money. In some areas of USA, the minimum starting wage is $15/hour. Thus a 40-hour work week produces $600. In many countries, the average employment pays less than $600/ month.
In the USA you don't but Apt's, you just rent, you can buy a Condo which is mostly 2 floors and you have a monthly maintenance fee or HOA fee, my question is, do you have pay for maintenance fee's for outside/inside upkeep if you but an Apt ?
На 50% дешевле? Кому ты тут по ушам чешешь?! Были у вас , видели знаем ваши цены и зарплаты ! Сами живёте с голой жопой от зарплаты до зарплаты а в комментариях самоутверждаетесь выдуманной богатой и сытой жизнью! К психиатору вам всем обращаться надо!
As hvac tech guy, my advice is do not install airconfitioner in the kitchen. Air conditioner has cca 3kw of cooling power while your stove has multiple times more, this destroys compressor due to overheat, draws too much electricity etc. Other thing is high humidity which will make your indoor unit go moldy very fast, which encreases number of service control checks and by so takes money out of your pocket. I recommend to use it after you end with your cooking at least, and wash filters by yourself as often as you can
No problem with software update/install, but there is a problem to buy it, because you need a foreign plastic card. Windows still get updates. A few number of software vendors closed access for requests from Russia, but you can use VPN.
Hi Natasha, excellent reporting! You are very professional and I predict you will be a terrific success!! Prices are reasonable and similar to here in the southern USA. Its surprising your prices are so good, when so much is being wasted and blown to smithereens in the you-know-what.
The prices you've shown in that store are practically the same here in the states, But food has gone up a lot. because they moved the minimum wage from $7.00 sometthing to $15 to $20 There's not a shortage of food in the states. It's just price gouging to me in food housing. insurance.'cause they made it where you have to have insurance to drive. Greedy rich people.
Same issue here in Russia, the war greatly increased salaries for poor people, they started to consume better or more food and food prices went high. When I say that the war increased salaries, I mean not only soldiers and army suppliers, but all businesses that need employes to do some physically hard work with 0 or low qualification. Business have to compete with the army for men.
Hi 👋🏻 I know that you are having a hard time living in Russia ‘ even though the prices for IPhones in your Country does not seem to be very different from what we pay in Great Britain ! The point That I’m making is that if someone in my Country wants a decent mobile 📱 Then after saving they can get one ! It would be easier for us to understand if you just say how much money the average Russian receives a month ! As it’s sounds considerably less than what we receive in the west 🤷🏼♂️. 🇬🇧
By the way I've often heard about RUclips or that RUclips algorithm rewards videos with longer running times. Maybe the longer videos will help generate a greater reach.
Greetings Natasha. The IPhone 16 price here is 112740.13 Rubles. The Samsung Galaxy A55 5g cost here 66487.77 Rubles. I like and use only Samsung Galaxy phones.🙊 Thank you for sharing an interesting and informative vlog.❤ God bless you too. Thank you. 🙏🏻 ❤🇷🇺 🎄
China kind of saves you when it comes to electronics, but the prices are obviously high for a typical Russian income. It certainly makes a difference whether something costs a third of your monthly income or a tenth or even less. My dryer broke just before winter. Of course it did. Next time I'll buy a washing machine that does both, washing and drying. But as long as the washer works, it'll have to do and I'll dry the laundry 'naturally' so to speak.^^ (I hate it haha) What Apple does right is the efficiency of the OS, the really long software support and the camera, but the prices are not good.^^ Other than that I don't see any major advantages to cheaper Android phones. Although Samsung has become more and more expensive in Europe (an A55 is about the price - a bit lower - of what the S series cost 5-10 years ago; S5, S6, S7 for example), which is why Xiaomi and Motorola among other mostly Chinese brands are interesting for people who either can't or don't want to spend much. Some of them have really bad cameras though.
These prices aren't really that bad in my opinion. I can tell you that in Nigeria (which is not sanctioned), where my wife lives currently, has approximately the same prices. Much like Russia, Nigeria has experienced massive inflation! When we bought the electronics for her apartment in 2023, things were roughly 30% less expensive than they are now.
I would say the prices is similar to the prices here (Finland). But in Finland I guess the income is a hole lot higher than in Russia. So more expensive for you, than for us.
Russian prices definitely higher than in USA where most electronics are generally very inexpensive. For example that 55 inch tv that is 44k rubles online for Russians would be 20-30k rubles equivalent in USA depending on the brand.
I saw the refrigerators for a brief second and they are quite small in Russia. They look to be half the size of what I have in my house. Same with the washer and dryer, they are much smaller than what I have. Probably based on the size of a flat in Russia being generally smaller than a average home in the United States.
Natasha the cellphone prices here vary alot due to manufacturer. I switched my cellphone service from Verizon to Xfinity and saved a fortune plus they gave me a free moto g stylus 5g phone! You have to shop around if you have several choices. From what I am reading your prices on everything are just going to increase. Stay safe. Thanks for the videos.
The prices on the laptops are the same or higher here in the U.S. I keep telling you to leave Russia so you can make the salary you deserve based on your education level. Also, in Russia there is an extreme shortage of marriage age men. You would do better elsewhere. Dryers are in almost every home on the U.S. If you live in an apartment in the City, there are laudromats or they pick up your laundry, deliver it when done. Iphones, last time we bought one was 1,500 with a discount. Robot vacuum cleaner about the same price, cooking devices are about half of what we are paying or less than half. Your apartment is spacious enough for one person, a very nice sized one bedroom. Location, location, location is everything when it comes to real estate. A house is expensive to heat and air condition. Yardwork strenuous as well. Any little thing that goes wrong you have to fix and if there is no man around the house or if you are not handy workmen will be needed. You have to wait around for them, etc. Your apartment is perfect for one person and so convenient for you.
Natasha! I am not only interested in prices, but also in durability. Our first washing machine was made in the GDR and worked for 27 (!) years. Then came an Elektrolux, it was good for 19 years. Now there is AEG. I'm looking for simple and durable things, I'll leave the 1001 functions to others. Greeting from Hungary the most oppressed country in the European Union.
Opressed by Orban's gang. You voted in your oppression yourself. Very clever Hungarians. Remember the times of 1956 and 1989. Then, there lived intelligent people in Hungary.
I noticed those phones, iPhones, and Samsung are a little cheaper than here in Canada. From what you showed us in the store alot of electronics are cheaper than Canada but maybe Russian wages are lower.
Зарплаты сравнивать глупо! Надо сравнивать покупательскую способность! Где-то люди получают и 100 долларов но при этом могут позволить себе жить богато за свою валюту в своей стране!
ironically, despite the sanctions, every single one of those prices are way cheaper than in Australia, especially the washing machines, you cannot buy the equivalent to that 6Kg washer (USD$184 AUD290) for less than AUD450, that acer laptop, though no longer available in Australia was selling for AUD1400 (USD890)
@@AUmarcus its still "cheaper". I am well aware we get paid more, my military invalid pensions come to just under 100k Australian p/a (after tax) and the average Russian wage is 23500 AUD so approx four times what the average Russian earns and Im a pensioner!
@@davidewhite69 Using your own example....the 6kg washer and assuming it's only 4×.....4 × 290AU = $1160AU....yet you said yourself we can buy it here for $450AU. It's cheaper here David. Now, if you want to go live in Russia and take your pension with you....different story but there may be some "cashflow" issues with that plan.
last ruble value was near 1.15 before Putin halted its public trading. So its real value I would really like to know, how much people trade it at outside of banks? but I suspect it is close to 150 or 200.
the price In Italy for the samsung A55 5g is 379 euro ( 41604 Ruble ) , for the iphone16 128 giga is 788 euro (86502 Ruble) . for our salaries it is average cheap for the moment , but we foresee an economic crisis on the horizon here in Europe too. we'll see what happens .....🙄

I saw a big Duracell disposal next to the Christmas tree in the DNS store. After the start of the Special Military Operation into Ukraine, this American company, as well as many other international corporations, decided to withdraw from the Russian market. However, last year at the end of September, Duracell returned to Russia under a new name, selling its products under the Opticell brand.

I just found it for 51 euro online in Ozon. But yes, usually prices for European electronics much higher because of complex logistics. I assume some products even with EU logo delivered directly from China without additional costs. But money transfer comissions went high as well.
@MsMelkus ozon trade with USED REFURBISHED COUNTERFEITED CRAP that CANNOT BE SOLD in official stores.
@MsMelkus and OZON provides NO WARRANTY to sold product. You can buy such used refurbished router even chiper tan 30€ in europe and usa.
@MsMelkus the same goes for branded tv sets. Match prices say for LG C3 in official russian stores like DNS MVideo Citylink and european ones.
@@maximsl everything from Europe is much more expensive in Russia, I agree. But you usually have a way to avoid it buy using China analogue if it exists or searching for advertisements in online stores. It does not always work however. Sometimes you have to pay full price.
I don't have a TV for about 20 years, so I have no idea how much it cost.
But I bought 2 Xiaomi gaming displays last year and it is good.

Yes Russia deserves to the most sanctioned country on earth.
In honor of Sergei Magnitsky and all others who were falsely imprisoned, tortured, and murdered, it's awesome to hear that Russia is at the top of the list of sanctioned countries.

Hi Natashia, I'd like to know the prices on black 60L trash bags, thank you in advance.
They're maked not even in China, they're surprisingly made in Russia and cheap like sub-dollar for a pack
You cannot match directly OZON market prices becouse that marketplace trade with refurbished broken used crap. And would anything happen with the elecronics they do no take none warranty for sold to you product.
it is not 100% true. But yes, sometimes you can be scammed with Ozon sellers, so have to be careful. But I bought an excellent Lenovo R7000P in 2023 from China via Ozon and had not issues and it was 30-40% cheaper comparing to the same model in a regular store.
@3:27 "We don't have dryers!" In Australia I guess many have driers but I use a clothes line outside or my gas heater inside during winter.
Electricity here is a stupid price which means even if I owned a drier I couldn't afford to use it.
She isn’t the only one doing the supermarket, apartments and fuel price videos.
Your point being...? 😂 It's good to have as many sources as possible
In Finland, there's not really much price difference between physical stores and online stores. Big retail chains are also online, and the price is the same both ways. For example in electronics, big chains include companies such as Gigantti (a Norwegian owned chain) and Power (also a Norwegian chain) and hypermarket chains such as the Finnish Prisma, which all have online stores as well and same prices irrespective of the sales platform. Verkkokauppa is a big online store but it also has a couple of physical stores. Amazon hasn't really become popular yet in Finland and doesn't have Finland specific operations.

The lap top prices actually sounded about average, and I noticed brands you would find in the west (ASUS and Acer for example), actually the washing machines for the lower end ones were cheaper than I thought
Take into account the Russian minimum wage is 7.25 dollars an hour . For Russians working 40 hours a week that is 300 dollars a week . Rent in Russia for a nice apartment is around 100 dollars a week . So living standards in Russia quite good
Seeing that food and energy is very cheap
I have a friend who lives in a two bedroom apartment in central Moscow . It costs him 260 British pounds a month. That includes gas and
Electricity . You can rent a studio apartment in Moscow for 180 pounds a month .
You can’t rent anywhere for $100. Moscow rent is now minimum $600
@ I follow property prices and rental in Russia especially in Moscow via a friend I know who lives there . He lives in a two bedroom apartment seven kilometres from the kremlin . It costs him 260 British pounds a month ( 80 dollars a week ) . That includes gas and electricity
You can get a studio apartment an hour from Moscow for 160 pounds a month . You are wrong

Everything is more expensive because people bring products via third neutral countries
Ruble fall from 55 RUB for 1 USD to 100 RUB for 1 USD.
@johnymnemonic4657 Nope, I was in Russia 2021, ruble was about almost 90 per 1 euro, and now about 109 for 1 euro. Ruble going up down because it's not fake curse like Euro, or our Serbian dinar. Here in Serbia dinar always same, but prices of products showing different
There are a lot China products
@@MsMelkusExcept the sanctions, Russia also banned some foreign products that gives China brands a big chance to enter Russian market.
Nice report. Very entertaining.
The Russian Best Buy! Those prices convert to Canadian dollars and seem pretty good. But that's because the average monthly income here is maybe $4000 USD. I'm not sure what the Russian monthly salary is these days
~$750 USD
@@pat-2024 Yea I see why she says prices are high!
Compared the shopping mall traffic in the west and in Russia and not many people are buying!
it doesn't matter the income, people buy electronics all over the world regardless of the minimum wage. actually in third word countries electronics are way more expensive yet people still buy them. You would be surprised people buy latest apple products with $700 monthly salary very oftem. You might earn more in gross salary but you pay more taxes, health-care, rent, electricity, etc... at the end of the day almost everyone lives paychecks to paycheck all over the world.
@ Everyone 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️…in your world! In my real world it’s different!!
How are the price on fur coats, can you do an episode about that?
Are laundry mats commonly found in Russia? "Iaundry mat" is a business where people can go and do their own laun
No! We don’t have it 🤓. All buy their own washer for home
IT LOOKS LIKE A best buy. Not many of those left as online shopping is normal.
Prices look very similar to USA. Exchange rate impacts every country positive or negative depends on date and country. Your income also affects what is "High Price"
Hard to judge pc without specs and reviews but similar to here.
Enjoy your videos keep up the good work..
Natasha, wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I do not know the current prices of these electronic items here in America.
great video
Approx uk prices are iphone 16 pro is £1000 =133,000 rubles Average UK salary £37,500 = 5 million rubles. In UK you can pay monthly at 0% interest over 24 months.

500$ for a laptop is very cheap. 1:56 that Xiaomi book 14, for 550$! You don't find it anywhere online that cheap.
thanks as usual...well done
The West is also sanctioned by Russia ! We just stopped doing business, that is all, as it was in the good all times of the Soviet Unions, when both the West and USSR had their best economic periods. Like your president said, we should strongly SUPPORT the sanctions and a return of the IRON CURTAIN. It gives Russia a lot of new OPPORTUNITIES ❤
русские люди просто не привыкли к сушилке, и да в хрущёвке нет под неё места. но это такая прелесть, что просто надо один раз попробовать.
и кстати есть машинки 2в1. Но в отдельных сушилках барабан больше и бельё меньше мнется.
Сушилка - это не только возможность за 5-6 часов постирать, высушить и одеть обратно вещь, которая у вас существует в единственном экземпляре (любимые джинсы, пуховки, постельное бельё), но и дополнительная степень очистки. На фильтрах сушилки остаётся дофига пыли и грязи, а также все кошачьи волосы.

Unfortunately your wages are way higher than in Russia, so affordability in Russia is way lower and crushing.
@anthonyferris8912 What is crashing? Those who advance at any place of line of contact crashing? If you look history, Russia everytime first start loosing, than after they become very strong and defeat any enemy, so strong that they can take all Europe. Napoleon and Hitler knew that. Russia can't be defeated. I am only afraid because west playing dirty games, I am afraid that they do not deceive Russia, and that Russians start to trust west again. I am afraid west do not harm Russia from inside. They will remove sanctions and pretend to be partners, but Russians must not forget that they are danger enemies in which they can't trust. They want to crash Russia as they crashed many countries.
The selection of consumer electronics on show in the store, I wouldn't bother with them because so much is lacking in variety.
Where I'm based in the British Isles, anyone can pop into a small audio/visual store and purchase anything you like and haggle on the price for cash.
Another place is if you are camera equipment, then that is another ball game.
If you are a proper audiophile enthusiast, travel to Hong Kong to visit spectacular shops that they have.
As for a iPhone 16, retailing at £999.00.
Do you use Windows 11 on computers? What about Chromebooks? Do you have Microsoft and Google support for them? I live in NYC, and I recently noticed that mainstream TVs became very cheap. Last time I bought a TV was some time ago, because if one has a couple of TVs at home usually one doesn't upgrade every year. I upgrade my computers every 4 years, however.
Это всё у нас есть и это всё мы используем.
The monerary prices don't seem too much higher than I see elsewhere. What is missing is the number of working hours needed to earn that money. In some areas of USA, the minimum starting wage is $15/hour. Thus a 40-hour work week produces $600. In many countries, the average employment pays less than $600/ month.
Во многих странах нет долларов а есть своя валюта!😂

Watch my videos about my bills in Russia. I explain how much I pay
Our Walmart in Colorado has all those items and more and they are all at least 50% less, I can't believe Russia is so expensive.

Natasha, you are a brilliant, gorgeous lady, and I have only respect and admiration for you and country! 2:44 ❤
As hvac tech guy, my advice is do not install airconfitioner in the kitchen. Air conditioner has cca 3kw of cooling power while your stove has multiple times more, this destroys compressor due to overheat, draws too much electricity etc. Other thing is high humidity which will make your indoor unit go moldy very fast, which encreases number of service control checks and by so takes money out of your pocket. I recommend to use it after you end with your cooking at least, and wash filters by yourself as often as you can
I have been wondering about software on computers in Russia. I assume updates and activating could be a problem with western made software.
No problem with software update/install, but there is a problem to buy it, because you need a foreign plastic card. Windows still get updates.
A few number of software vendors closed access for requests from Russia, but you can use VPN.
A lot of it depends in the job. in the job area and what you are making. I still remember the prices a month in Russia
Hi Natasha, excellent reporting! You are very professional and I predict you will be a terrific success!! Prices are reasonable and similar to here in the southern USA. Its surprising your prices are so good, when so much is being wasted and blown to smithereens in the you-know-what.
Thank you 🙏🎄🎅
Depends if you can afford an apartment or rent! Wages depend on your expertise!
The prices you've shown in that store are practically the same here in the states, But food has gone up a lot. because they moved the minimum wage from $7.00 sometthing to $15 to $20 There's not a shortage of food in the states. It's just price gouging to me in food housing. insurance.'cause they made it where you have to have insurance to drive. Greedy rich people.
Same issue here in Russia, the war greatly increased salaries for poor people, they started to consume better or more food and food prices went high.
When I say that the war increased salaries, I mean not only soldiers and army suppliers, but all businesses that need employes to do some physically hard work with 0 or low qualification. Business have to compete with the army for men.
Hi 👋🏻 I know that you are having a hard time living in Russia ‘ even though the prices for IPhones in your Country does not seem to be very different from what we pay in Great Britain !

It would be easier for us to understand if you just say how much money the average Russian receives a month ! As it’s sounds considerably less than what we receive in the west 🤷🏼♂️. 🇬🇧

China kind of saves you when it comes to electronics, but the prices are obviously high for a typical Russian income. It certainly makes a difference whether something costs a third of your monthly income or a tenth or even less. My dryer broke just before winter. Of course it did. Next time I'll buy a washing machine that does both, washing and drying. But as long as the washer works, it'll have to do and I'll dry the laundry 'naturally' so to speak.^^ (I hate it haha)
What Apple does right is the efficiency of the OS, the really long software support and the camera, but the prices are not good.^^ Other than that I don't see any major advantages to cheaper Android phones. Although Samsung has become more and more expensive in Europe (an A55 is about the price - a bit lower - of what the S series cost 5-10 years ago; S5, S6, S7 for example), which is why Xiaomi and Motorola among other mostly Chinese brands are interesting for people who either can't or don't want to spend much. Some of them have really bad cameras though.
The prices are the same as in Europe, the average wage in Russia is 5/6 hundred dollars.
If the average monthly income is 80,000, the prices aren't that steep. Interesting video.
These prices aren't really that bad in my opinion. I can tell you that in Nigeria (which is not sanctioned), where my wife lives currently, has approximately the same prices. Much like Russia, Nigeria has experienced massive inflation! When we bought the electronics for her apartment in 2023, things were roughly 30% less expensive than they are now.
I think they set up a Mexican factory for MABE brand washing machines or refrigerators.
Now I want waffles 🧇😩🤣🤣❤💯👍
It looks like the same price in France
I would say the prices is similar to the prices here (Finland). But in Finland I guess the income is a hole lot higher than in Russia. So more expensive for you, than for us.
Russian prices definitely higher than in USA where most electronics are generally very inexpensive. For example that 55 inch tv that is 44k rubles online for Russians would be 20-30k rubles equivalent in USA depending on the brand.
I saw the refrigerators for a brief second and they are quite small in Russia. They look to be half the size of what I have in my house. Same with the washer and dryer, they are much smaller than what I have. Probably based on the size of a flat in Russia being generally smaller than a average home in the United States.
Natasha the cellphone prices here vary alot due to manufacturer. I switched my cellphone service from Verizon to Xfinity and saved a fortune plus they gave me a free moto g stylus 5g phone! You have to shop around if you have several choices. From what I am reading your prices on everything are just going to increase. Stay safe. Thanks for the videos.
Russian phone providers does not have such bonuses, but it is very cheap. Starting from 3$/month.
The prices on the laptops are the same or higher here in the U.S. I keep telling you to leave Russia so you can make the salary you deserve based on your education level. Also, in Russia there is an extreme shortage of marriage age men. You would do better elsewhere. Dryers are in almost every home on the U.S. If you live in an apartment in the City, there are laudromats or they pick up your laundry, deliver it when done. Iphones, last time we bought one was 1,500 with a discount. Robot vacuum cleaner about the same price, cooking devices are about half of what we are paying or less than half. Your apartment is spacious enough for one person, a very nice sized one bedroom. Location, location, location is everything when it comes to real estate. A house is expensive to heat and air condition. Yardwork strenuous as well. Any little thing that goes wrong you have to fix and if there is no man around the house or if you are not handy workmen will be needed. You have to wait around for them, etc. Your apartment is perfect for one person and so convenient for you.
The tv´s are cheaper here in California, the washers and dryers are much more expensive here, the other electric items are similar in price.
How much is the I phone 16 plus in Russia.
The last exchange rate I heard was 100 rubles to the US dollar so 1,000 rubles is only 10 dollars? That's cheap.
Natasha! I am not only interested in prices, but also in durability. Our first washing machine was made in the GDR and worked for 27 (!) years. Then came an Elektrolux, it was good for 19 years. Now there is AEG. I'm looking for simple and durable things, I'll leave the 1001 functions to others. Greeting from Hungary the most oppressed country in the European Union.

ironically, despite the sanctions, every single one of those prices are way cheaper than in Australia, especially the washing machines, you cannot buy the equivalent to that 6Kg washer (USD$184 AUD290) for less than AUD450, that acer laptop, though no longer available in Australia was selling for AUD1400 (USD890)
