@@michalzajic8602 I have been there and have relatives there now, I don't think you have any Idea of what is real in Russia.Watch this channel and you might learn.
Inflation has been terrible across the world since 2021-22 for two main reasons: 1. COVID and 2. Russia's invasion of Ukraine which has caused huge energy price increases and food shortages due to the blockades on grain, cooking oil and fertilizer exports from Odessa. The inflationary effects of COVID are over but Russia's aggression keeps inflation high for people across the world.
Milka is one brand -- but the price of chocolate is *not* cheaper either in Russia or worldwide. There is actually a global cocoa bean shortage due to diseased crops. In Russia it is hard to find any chocolate bar under 100 rub and some common brands are now over 200 rub. Likely Milka just reduced the amount of real chocolate -- just like brands that were 100g are now 90g or 80g. Thanks for the video.)
I'm from Spain and the chocolate I used to purchase at a local supermarket chain and made by Ibercacao (a Spanish manufacturer) went from 0.68€ a 150g bar a year ago to 1.65€ the same 150g bar. It was and still is 55% cocoa. So I started to buy the Carrefour brand for 0.78€ 150g, the price is exactly the same as a year ago and the cocoa percentage is still the same too, a 50% But we are already being warned daily in the news to prepare to pay even more for chocolate in 2025 😢
Considering that Russia is substituting explosive armor with bricks on their tanks, they may be substituting cocoa beans with poop soon. or perhaps get some mud cookies from Africa.
but did sanctions cause fall of Ruble ? i would say they did, so... i hope war will stop because peoples on booth sides suffer for nothing. Leaders dont feel that, but people do.
@@Robert-ky5ks Fall of the Ruble has been caused by the failing Russian economy and the cause of that is Putin doing several things, 1. converting the economy into a war economy, 2. sending working age men to die on the battlefield and 3. pushing the working age population to leave Russia early on. The result is companies not able to produce required quantities of goods and not being able to get an adequate workforce.
No you are wrong..its BOTH ...the sanctions has of course,taking its toll too...anyone that understand economics in depth knows this..I studied economics in University level...its no doubt that its a combined factor here..
They import a lot of stuff through 3rd cuntry like Kazakhstan. They put up a shell company in Kazakhstan that buy products and then that company export it onward to russia. So the sanctions create a lot of extra cost which increase the prices of stuff, which is inflation. On top of that the sanctions have stopped russia from exporting a lot which have caused the ruble to fall.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
I live in Florida. Before COVID, I was buying a gallon of vegetable oil at Walmart for $3.95, now the same brand is over $9. Meat has doubled or tripled in price, as have eggs and many other foods. My house has doubled in value, and so have my property and maintenance taxes. I had to pay $11 thousands property taxes for this year. My salary has gone up less than 10%.
@@krisa990Россия воюет, причём на собственные деньги, не влезая в кредиты и находясь под 20000 санкций. А весь остальной мир тоже воюет и под санкциями?
One possible reason that the Milka chocolate got cheaper is that Milka changed their export recipe and are using cheaper ingredients and more chemicals that simulate that Chocolate taste.
Mi sono chiesto la stessa cosa come il burro da loro costa meno ma a meno grassi e non si puo chiamare burro, quando da noi non deve avere meno 80% di grassi

Too many believe what the screens show them. You want to live under a screwed up government, then you need to move where I live. That's the US of A. People need to do their own research and not believe the propaganda that their country media feeds them. Most don't have a clue about why all the chaos and strife has arisen across the world. As for prices here in the US; well they've gone up 25-30% on average also. My wife and I are spending on average 110-120 USD a week today and we grow our own potatoes, garlic, tomatoes, figs, lettuce, etc.

The prices her in Norway have gone up by about the same percentage in the last three years. The only thing that seems cheaper is frozen cooked shrimp from Greenland.
In the USA we use pounds. not kilo. so even when the unit price is about the same the quantity is half. Salmon here is about $10-12 / lb or about $25 / kilo
Thank you for sharing. In the past 2.5 years it has been a significant increase in prices in the USA and other western countries around the world. In Australia the price of bananas decreased to $4.90 kg (AUD) due to the season, our summer started in December and bananas are usually less expensive in summer. Everything is significantly, in cases many times more expensive than it is in Russia.
yeah everything cheaper in russia and do you spend 50% of your salary on food like the russians do? I live in Norway I spend 8% of my salary after tax on food.
@@bennyboy5374 Thank you for sharing your food costs in Norway. In Australia, people on a Median income have very little left to pay for groceries once they payed their bills.

My bills of NECESSITIES water, electricity, gas, phone, internet, car/transport, health insurance, health expenses, Council rates, House insurance, Content Insurance, ongoing education, sport, personal items/clothing/shoes e.t.c. and groceries added together significantly higher than a Medium income in Melbourne.
don't argue, people. Tucker Wilson is the biggest ape, I meant gorilla. The pension in Matushata is 13,000-17,000 rubles, and the usual monthly salaries are between 40,000-50,000 rubles
Thank you for another interesting video Natasha. It was lovely to see the store and also your picturesque walk back. It looks very autumnal there in Krasnodar, even though it's winter. Yes we have food inflation and higher energy prices here as well. Our government took away the winter fuel payment that was there to help older people pay their energy bills. That was after they accused the previous government of planning to do that, although they never did. So it was 'out of the frying pan into the fire', as they say, when we changed governments.
Hi Natasha, Thanks for the update. First of all I like to say that I really like your natural look. And for your price comparison I think your inflation is about the same as in my country (The Netherlands). Average around 5% per year Success with your vlogs!
@@YamadaSena First of all I m just trying to be nice. Second is that you are changing the subject to her country. I do and do not like her country if you know what I mean. It is a country with some of the best writings (Tolstoj, Solchenitchin) and other artists (like Malevich for example)....but also a country where "animals" seem to be looting, raping, murdering a neighboring country. But I can maybe say the same about your country. Or have you forgotten what YOU did to other innocent people? And yes, I am also in need of grace. I know. But that was not what my message was about.

Inflation in Sweden has been about 20% since 2022 to now. It is very difficult to find statistics on only food, the figures include petrol, apartment rent, electricity etc. But the feeling of most people is that things has got much more expensive, coffee and cocoa as an example has gone up much. Average people manage but if you are a retiree without a reasonable pension it might be tough. There is a shortage of low priced small apartments especially in big cities where you can find work, so many 25-30yo live with their parents. This is a problem in most countries, in the US and UK aswell. Your vids are very interesting and they look really good! God bless you! 🩵
In Europe, inflation started before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and it was because of the Covid. For two reasons. The first reason, has been the fact, many European countries put "money" in their economy to help some markets and companies while there was the Covid emergency, and the second reason it was the China supplies. Covid broke the China's supply to Europe, and that hasn't been fixed later because of the Russian's invasion. Russian inflation is very different, and it is very critically. It depends from the sanctions and from working force deviated to fight in Ukraine. Russian inflation it is the fruit of the war, and can only go worst.
@@fredrikbergquist5734 Yet the price is 0.20 in the North of Sweden today. Floating prices float with demand. Sweden has comparatively very inexpensive electricity.
Are you sure the chocolate bars are the same size as before? Based on the price label, the bars you showed now are 85 or 80 grams. Perhaps earlier they were 100 grams?
@@ExVeritateLibertas Yeah and I heard of the Russian dairy industry "shrinkflating" their milk cartons already in 2023 or 2022... Used to be 1 litre cartons but then they were like 0.95L or 0.9L.

Although it's pretty easy for gas stations to cheat and ripoff the customer even without them mentioning it... Especially in China this is apparently very common.

Only bananas in your example represent the reality. As other examples, such as potatoes should not have gotten up in prices at all. This is an additional internal inflation that you are showing with the local produce. But, 50% is not much, I think the major inflation is coming to russia in 2025-2026. Also, you are right, there were never sanctions on food.
Hello Natasha from a 71 yr old New Zealander whom at present time is on the Barkly Tablelands of the Northern Territory of Australia watching your very interesting video, the prices of food in Russia are still much cheaper than in either Australia and New Zealand, I noticed how well stocked the supermarket you were in was. Must compliment you on your absolutely excellent English language ability, I now live in Northern Thailand when I'm not working here in the outback of the Barkly Tablelands , Thailand is a land of abundance and smiles , very cheap living costs with a great health system and wonderful people , I am wondering if you have been to Thailand as many Russians visit there. Thank you for sharing this video with us, I have subscribed to your channel. Cheers and thanks from again , looking forward to seeing more of your videos .
Nice vlog Nat & look forward to your new one on Sat! :) Bad news is inflation has effected prices in Every country in the World! :/ Conflict and Wars disrupt trade & commerce everywhere! :( Palestine, Lebanon, Israel, Ukraine, Russia & now Syria!! :O Nothing will improve & probably only get worse until there is Peace!! 🕊☮
Thanks Natasha. here is another thing that you can investigate, what products have disappeared from the shops and have there been any new products that have arrived to take their place?
It probably depends on the area but I'm sure overall, Russian are paying much more than before. Also depends on the item. Some items up to double if you can find them but the black market thrives in Russia.
@DerBingle1 in russia 60% of the Russians spend 50% of the salary on food. I spend 8%. Do you spend 50% of your salary on food? What happens if you need to spend 50% and food prices go up 25%? Then your in deep shit, right?
No, Canadian food prices have risen 19% since 2021, and they are currently down at 2% YoY. Russian prices have increased way more, with potatoes alone going up 70% in one year. Source: statcan and rosstat.
Jesus the increase in prices is scary. Though it's curious to see that many things are still far cheaper than in Mexico. Thank you for making videos like this and I wish you happy holidays with your folks

but in turkey they compensate with high interest rates on saving and higher incomes. in sweden they do not want to do that; there is no money for that like it did in 70s.
@ sweden tried to protect the peg to hard currencies but was too small. britain and asian nations in 1990s faced the same fairh. e.g. soros and co. broke the bank of england.
4:11 90% of the bananas in Russia used to come from Ecuador (great quality and price) but then Putin picked a fight with Ecuador because Ecuador supports Ukraine and tried to imposse restrictions on the import of bananas, even tried to find other suppliers, that caused a 20% drop in supply, fortunatelly this problem is being slowly fixed and shippments are increasing again, so bananas will be at their normal price next year
Russia currently spends 6% of its GDP on defense. During World War II, the United States was spending more than 40% of its GDP on the military. As a result, the US GDP doubled from 1939 to 1945, and the economy became the largest in the world.
@@JoeMcHugh-j5m But the US is/was full of tax payers. The demographic in RU means that they have a lot of pensioners and a lot of low income earners that do not pay tax. Russia spends 40% of its gov budget on this war, which of course leads to huge shortages in other areas.
@@stream2watch There is a smaller percentage of the pensioners in Russia than in the United States: Russia: In 2022, 15.8% of Russia's population was over 65 years old. United States: In 2022, 17.3% of the U.S. population was 65 and older.
@@JoeMcHugh-j5m But the demographic pyramid is still a major disadvantage in Russia, not the US. Also, the US has no pension system for those without work history. Those Babushkas are very unlilelyu to have paid into private pension funds., meaning that a Russian pensioner costs more for their gov than the US one does.
Hi Natasha, bananas in Australia are grown here in this country and are not allowed to be imported. These bananas can vary significantly in price depending on the season, so anywhere between AUD $2.66 and AUD $5.95 which can be converted to 174.69 to 393.39 Rubles per kilogram. The legal Australian minimum wage is currently set at $24.10 per hour or at 1582.74 Russian Rubles, just to give you a fair comparison with purchasing power available when buying these type of products.
To an American these prices seem very low, but salaries in Russia are much lower. We've had some inflation here, as well. Appreciate the videos, and getting a look at your world. Sometimes it seems that Russia is an entirely different world from the USA. But believe you would like it here. Where we live there is no winter as you know it, for example. We shop at a military commissary where food is sold at cost.
Exactly... so Tucker Carlson who has not worked a day in his life and probably never been to an American grocery store can brag about the "low" prices for food in Russia, but let him come back making $300 a month.
@@ExVeritateLibertasTo him, shopping carts where you deposit a coin was a novelty when he saw them in Russia…. We (Scandinavia) have had those since the 1990:s.
THANK YOU! And I am one of the critics (towards claiming food is sanctioned when it is not). THANK YOU AGAIN - for saying prices are up because of inflation. YES, there is a smaller correlation between sanctions and prices, in some products, but you are "the first" one now to say how things are, I really appreciate it. We in the west also have more expensive prices (and here too, it´s not because of some sanctions but because of inflation). Inflation has been high since the Russia-Ukraine war, and not only because of that, but partly affected by OPEC deciding to cut oil production to make energy more expensive worldwide. Now many countries in the west have lower inflation, but then again, I fear that with Trump (if he starts trade wars as he is engaging in already), then we might see a new wave of inflation, at least with some items. Anyway, I am thankful for your latest video!
Sanctions are imposed with intention to harm Russian citizens and make their life harder, than they protest and destroy their country from inside, than after west put their pupet president and take Russian resources. But they made mistake Putin is not drunk Yeltsin
Well do some critical thinking, you noticed how everything is cut in this video. Google what the price on potatoes is in russia and you will see it's almost 100% higher then what she claims. So can you trust this video? How do we even know this video is taken now and not 3 months after the war started. Everything is cut. Just because she says the video is taken now, we should just take her on that?
Is your price comparison at the same time of the year? Like meat and vegetables are more expensive in the winter. I can see the trees in the background have no leaves. Thanks for sharing Natasha. What about apartment prices, increasing or decreased?
Food prices in Germany have increased by between 50 and 100 percent since Corona. Pasta cost 29 cents before Corona, now the cheapest is 79 cents. What is particularly shocking is that basic foodstuffs have increased so much. Butter costs around 2.50 euros today, and 1.50 euros before Corona. All in all, supply chains have suffered in recent years. I don't think prices will come back.
What a laugh this channel is! With the Russian Central Bank having a core interest rate of 21% a year, with mortgage rates starting at 25% a year, with the Russian ruble losing 20% of its value in just two months, with butter being under lock and key in every supermarket across Russia, along comes Cinderella pretending that sanctions are not having a effect on food prices in Russia! Natasha, give us your spin on the massive Russian defeat in Syria. That will be a good laugh as well!
Yeah there is a reason why she don't bring up price on butter. But at least you can see the real inflation on bananas. And if you google price of potatoes in russia it's almost 100% more then what she claims. Could be that she lives close to the farms that produce it and that she isn't making fake prices. It's hard to tell since everything is cut in between takes.

Hi Natasha! Absolutely, we all shop for groceries and fuel where we live, and we're interested in the cost of living in Russia too. Your informative vlogs bridges our two countries together. I'm not a percentages type of person, but all I know my weekly grocery bill is about $25-$30 more. Fuel for my car increased $30-$40 per tank, here in the USA (Calif.) It's amazing that I noticed your opening scene of that store looks so much like our Target/Walmart in my city...very peaceful stroll on the streets too. Keep your informative reporting on going my dear...God bless you too!
Funny in Canada the price of gas is the lowest since Covid hit. When Covid hit , it went down to 59 cents per litre. Now the price is $1.09 but is much lower than the peak last year at $1.61. So gas has really dropped a lot in price. Groceries have gone up in price but if you shop around you can cut your bill in half. I know Florida was always bad , I have a house in Florida and Publix is horrible and they are all small stores with no variety. I did find some cheaper stores but they were further away but I did a big shop at these discount stores in downtown Kissimmee. If I was living in California, I would move. My daughters friend is coming over for Christmas and she is from California but she is going to University here in Winnipeg because it is dirt cheap and she is dual Canadian so no foreign student fees. I paid for both my daughters educations and I still have $50,000 left over that I will have to withdraw from the fund and dump it in the stock market or something. I paid for my own education in the 1970's by working in the summer and I even paid board and room. Then I found the railway paid more money, so never used my degree in EE. I would rather live in Ukraine where things are very cheap. I have been there 6 times and my wife is a Ukraine citizen so I could move there. In 2018 to get a filling for a tooth was $10. It might be $20 CAD now. I took the train from Dnipropetrovsk to Kiev , about 450 km, and it cost $10 and that was with a bed on the train and some juice and fruit for breakfast. McDonalds in Ukraine was 1/3 of the cost in Canada for a Big Mac. My wife got her face laser treated in Ukraine and it was $150 and in Winnipeg we checked a clinic and it cost $1500 for the exact same thing and they wanted you to do some b.s. cream treatment first so instead of a 1 hour visit you had to come back three times. Imagine she pays zero property tax on her apartment and they don't bother with insurance. The only fee is for elevator maintenance about $5 per month.
California is like a separate country, politically and economically. I filled my gas tank in Minnesota last Saturday for $2.50 per gallon. I was in San Diego, California in April and gas was $5.50.
Nice video Natasha. I don't know if it helps, but in Netherlands the prices at the groceries increased by between 50 and 100% over the past four years. So Russia did a lot better despite the sanctions.
today, 10.12.24 the ruble is at 103 per dollar and moex (moscow stock exchange) is down almost 2 % for the day (and down almost 20 % for the year)... and russian inflation is crazy (but it is worse when analyzed as a variable of a nation's ppp)...an example of russia's economic woes is the average railroad speed of 35 km/h (10 mph ) which is the slowest since 1991... my advice to the average russian person is to buy items today that you can resale/trade in the future ... my BEST advice to the average russian person is to get out of russia while you still can...
@@barslars6038 everything... think about it... how long does it take for a bag of belarus potatoes to travel from minsk to vladivostok?... oh yeah. never mind, i forgot that belarus has banned export of potatoes to russia for 3 months .. so it'd be 4 months for a sack of old potatoes to reach vladivostok on a train... and in 4 months the price for those old moldy potatoes will have doubled
look, the sanctions never have been about food, tbh. It was all about double use items and so on. Furthermore, most brands left Russia, because they feared to get seized by the government. It also affects food for sure, but not a single food product was sanctioned at all. Most big companies just don´t deliver directly, anymore - Kazakstan or Uzbekistan aren´t sanctioned, though...that´s were the brands usually come from, these days. India and China are another source as well.
Hello my Grushenka. I love Russia and all things Russian. I have just finished Brothers Karamazov, hence my nickname for you (i hope you don't mind). I want to read more Russian novels. What are your favourites?
The good news would be, you have no food, cars, heat, fuel, water… 50 countries , not just nato, support Ukraine. But lucky Russians, your allies are Iran, Cuba, North Korea, China, Syria ooops, nope.
Finally a scientifically correct comparison shopping video. We already have the Rosstat data so we know the difference is big. But the other m id wit bloggers just go "look how many people are in the shop", and the comments say "I am from Canada British Columbia Oblast and people can not longer afford food". This is way better. Thank you.

Milka is one brand -- but the price of chocolate is *not* cheaper either in Russia or worldwide. There is actually a global cocoa bean shortage due to diseased crops. In Russia it is hard to find any chocolate bar under 100 rub and some common brands are now over 200 rub. Likely Milka just reduced the amount of real chocolate -- just like brands that were 100g are now 90g or 80g. Thanks for the video.)
I'm from Spain and the chocolate I used to purchase at a local supermarket chain and made by Ibercacao (a Spanish manufacturer) went from 0.68€ a 150g bar a year ago to 1.65€ the same 150g bar. It was and still is 55% cocoa.
So I started to buy the Carrefour brand for 0.78€ 150g, the price is exactly the same as a year ago and the cocoa percentage is still the same too, a 50%
But we are already being warned daily in the news to prepare to pay even more for chocolate in 2025 😢
Correct
Considering that Russia is substituting explosive armor with bricks on their tanks, they may be substituting cocoa beans with poop soon. or perhaps get some mud cookies from Africa.
It's not sanctions, it is the falling value of the ruble. Officially, it is 9% this year, but in realistically, it is much higher.
Exactly but they blame it on the sanctions most of the time
but did sanctions cause fall of Ruble ? i would say they did, so... i hope war will stop because peoples on booth sides suffer for nothing. Leaders dont feel that, but people do.
@@Robert-ky5ks Fall of the Ruble has been caused by the failing Russian economy and the cause of that is Putin doing several things, 1. converting the economy into a war economy, 2. sending working age men to die on the battlefield and 3. pushing the working age population to leave Russia early on. The result is companies not able to produce required quantities of goods and not being able to get an adequate workforce.
No you are wrong..its BOTH ...the sanctions has of course,taking its toll too...anyone that understand economics in depth knows this..I studied economics in University level...its no doubt that its a combined factor here..
They import a lot of stuff through 3rd cuntry like Kazakhstan. They put up a shell company in Kazakhstan that buy products and then that company export it onward to russia. So the sanctions create a lot of extra cost which increase the prices of stuff, which is inflation. On top of that the sanctions have stopped russia from exporting a lot which have caused the ruble to fall.

Thank you for another interesting video Natasha. It was lovely to see the store and also your picturesque walk back. It looks very autumnal there in Krasnodar, even though it's winter. Yes we have food inflation and higher energy prices here as well. Our government took away the winter fuel payment that was there to help older people pay their energy bills. That was after they accused the previous government of planning to do that, although they never did. So it was 'out of the frying pan into the fire', as they say, when we changed governments.

Inflation in Sweden has been about 20% since 2022 to now. It is very difficult to find statistics on only food, the figures include petrol, apartment rent, electricity etc. But the feeling of most people is that things has got much more expensive, coffee and cocoa as an example has gone up much. Average people manage but if you are a retiree without a reasonable pension it might be tough. There is a shortage of low priced small apartments especially in big cities where you can find work, so many 25-30yo live with their parents. This is a problem in most countries, in the US and UK aswell. Your vids are very interesting and they look really good! God bless you! 🩵
In Europe, inflation started before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and it was because of the Covid. For two reasons. The first reason, has been the fact, many European countries put "money" in their economy to help some markets and companies while there was the Covid emergency, and the second reason it was the China supplies. Covid broke the China's supply to Europe, and that hasn't been fixed later because of the Russian's invasion. Russian inflation is very different, and it is very critically. It depends from the sanctions and from working force deviated to fight in Ukraine. Russian inflation it is the fruit of the war, and can only go worst.
Coffee and cocoa prices are dependant on droughts, rains and pests in the third world, generally.

Only bananas in your example represent the reality. As other examples, such as potatoes should not have gotten up in prices at all. This is an additional internal inflation that you are showing with the local produce. But, 50% is not much, I think the major inflation is coming to russia in 2025-2026. Also, you are right, there were never sanctions on food.
Hello Natasha from a 71 yr old New Zealander whom at present time is on the Barkly Tablelands of the Northern Territory of Australia watching your very interesting video, the prices of food in Russia are still much cheaper than in either Australia and New Zealand, I noticed how well stocked the supermarket you were in was.

Hi Natasha, bananas in Australia are grown here in this country and are not allowed to be imported.
These bananas can vary significantly in price depending on the season, so anywhere between AUD $2.66 and AUD $5.95 which can be converted to 174.69 to 393.39 Rubles per kilogram.
The legal Australian minimum wage is currently set at $24.10 per hour or at 1582.74 Russian Rubles, just to give you a fair comparison with purchasing power available when buying these type of products.
With the Russian ruble falling fast, of course the AUD prices in ruble is going to look high.
To an American these prices seem very low, but salaries in Russia are much lower. We've had some inflation here, as well. Appreciate the videos, and getting a look at your world. Sometimes it seems that Russia is an entirely different world from the USA. But believe you would like it here. Where we live there is no winter as you know it, for example. We shop at a military commissary where food is sold at cost.

For the most part, the prices seem to be keeping within normal yearly inflation. Only the bananas seemed to be overly costly.
THANK YOU! And I am one of the critics (towards claiming food is sanctioned when it is not). THANK YOU AGAIN - for saying prices are up because of inflation. YES, there is a smaller correlation between sanctions and prices, in some products, but you are "the first" one now to say how things are, I really appreciate it. We in the west also have more expensive prices (and here too, it´s not because of some sanctions but because of inflation).
Inflation has been high since the Russia-Ukraine war, and not only because of that, but partly affected by OPEC deciding to cut oil production to make energy more expensive worldwide. Now many countries in the west have lower inflation, but then again, I fear that with Trump (if he starts trade wars as he is engaging in already), then we might see a new wave of inflation, at least with some items.
Anyway, I am thankful for your latest video!
Trump won and we'll see the country get back to normal if people would just awaken from the stupor the screens have put them under.
Sanctions are imposed with intention to harm Russian citizens and make their life harder, than they protest and destroy their country from inside, than after west put their pupet president and take Russian resources. But they made mistake Putin is not drunk Yeltsin
All countries have had inflation in recent years, with the falling value of the Rouble I thought prices would have risen more. So very interesting

Food prices in Germany have increased by between 50 and 100 percent since Corona. Pasta cost 29 cents before Corona, now the cheapest is 79 cents. What is particularly shocking is that basic foodstuffs have increased so much. Butter costs around 2.50 euros today, and 1.50 euros before Corona. All in all, supply chains have suffered in recent years. I don't think prices will come back.
What a laugh this channel is! With the Russian Central Bank having a core interest rate of 21% a year, with mortgage rates starting at 25% a year, with the Russian ruble losing 20% of its value in just two months, with butter being under lock and key in every supermarket across Russia, along comes Cinderella pretending that sanctions are not having a effect on food prices in Russia! Natasha, give us your spin on the massive Russian defeat in Syria. That will be a good laugh as well!
Yeah there is a reason why she don't bring up price on butter. But at least you can see the real inflation on bananas. And if you google price of potatoes in russia it's almost 100% more then what she claims. Could be that she lives close to the farms that produce it and that she isn't making fake prices.

God bless you too 🙏 ❤️
Hi Natasha!
Absolutely, we all shop for groceries and fuel where we live, and we're interested in the cost of living in Russia too. Your informative vlogs bridges our two countries together. I'm not a percentages type of person, but all I know my weekly grocery bill is about $25-$30 more. Fuel for my car increased $30-$40 per tank, here in the USA (Calif.)
It's amazing that I noticed your opening scene of that store looks so much like our Target/Walmart in my city...very peaceful stroll on the streets too. Keep your informative reporting on going my dear...God bless you too!
Funny in Canada the price of gas is the lowest since Covid hit. When Covid hit , it went down to 59 cents per litre. Now the price is $1.09 but is much lower than the peak last year at $1.61. So gas has really dropped a lot in price. Groceries have gone up in price but if you shop around you can cut your bill in half. I know Florida was always bad , I have a house in Florida and Publix is horrible and they are all small stores with no variety. I did find some cheaper stores but they were further away but I did a big shop at these discount stores in downtown Kissimmee. If I was living in California, I would move. My daughters friend is coming over for Christmas and she is from California but she is going to University here in Winnipeg because it is dirt cheap and she is dual Canadian so no foreign student fees. I paid for both my daughters educations and I still have $50,000 left over that I will have to withdraw from the fund and dump it in the stock market or something. I paid for my own education in the 1970's by working in the summer and I even paid board and room. Then I found the railway paid more money, so never used my degree in EE.
I would rather live in Ukraine where things are very cheap. I have been there 6 times and my wife is a Ukraine citizen so I could move there. In 2018 to get a filling for a tooth was $10. It might be $20 CAD now. I took the train from Dnipropetrovsk to Kiev , about 450 km, and it cost $10 and that was with a bed on the train and some juice and fruit for breakfast. McDonalds in Ukraine was 1/3 of the cost in Canada for a Big Mac. My wife got her face laser treated in Ukraine and it was $150 and in Winnipeg we checked a clinic and it cost $1500 for the exact same thing and they wanted you to do some b.s. cream treatment first so instead of a 1 hour visit you had to come back three times. Imagine she pays zero property tax on her apartment and they don't bother with insurance. The only fee is for elevator maintenance about $5 per month.
California is like a separate country, politically and economically. I filled my gas tank in Minnesota last Saturday for $2.50 per gallon. I was in San Diego, California in April and gas was $5.50.
Nice video Natasha. I don't know if it helps, but in Netherlands the prices at the groceries increased by between 50 and 100% over the past four years. So Russia did a lot better despite the sanctions.
Greeting Natasha.

I have been several times in Russia and in many shops it's few people shopping any time
today, 10.12.24 the ruble is at 103 per dollar and moex (moscow stock exchange) is down almost 2 % for the day (and down almost 20 % for the year)... and russian inflation is crazy (but it is worse when analyzed as a variable of a nation's ppp)...an example of russia's economic woes is the average railroad speed of 35 km/h (10 mph ) which is the slowest since 1991... my advice to the average russian person is to buy items today that you can resale/trade in the future ... my BEST advice to the average russian person is to get out of russia while you still can...
What does average railroad speed have to do with economy?
@@barslars6038 everything... think about it... how long does it take for a bag of belarus potatoes to travel from minsk to vladivostok?... oh yeah. never mind, i forgot that belarus has banned export of potatoes to russia for 3 months .. so it'd be 4 months for a sack of old potatoes to reach vladivostok on a train... and in 4 months the price for those old moldy potatoes will have doubled
look, the sanctions never have been about food, tbh. It was all about double use items and so on. Furthermore, most brands left Russia, because they feared to get seized by the government. It also affects food for sure, but not a single food product was sanctioned at all. Most big companies just don´t deliver directly, anymore - Kazakstan or Uzbekistan aren´t sanctioned, though...that´s were the brands usually come from, these days. India and China are another source as well.
To be fair the food price increases are inflationary not sanction related. It’s a worldwide thing.
Hello my Grushenka. I love Russia and all things Russian. I have just finished Brothers Karamazov, hence my nickname for you (i hope you don't mind). I want to read more Russian novels. What are your favourites?
I like stories by Ivan Bunin and “Laugh in the Dark” by Vladimir Nabokov 🤗
@@natasha-rostova How about Dostojevskij?
Keep that haircolor. It is perfect 👌
Thank you 😊. I like it too
Thanks for the video. Best wishes from the U.S.
The good news would be, you have no food, cars, heat, fuel, water…
50 countries , not just nato, support Ukraine.
But lucky Russians, your allies are Iran, Cuba, North Korea, China, Syria ooops, nope.
Свои влажные мечты оставь при себе 🫵
But anyway.....thanks for watching.
Finally a scientifically correct comparison shopping video. We already have the Rosstat data so we know the difference is big. But the other m id wit bloggers just go "look how many people are in the shop", and the comments say "I am from Canada British Columbia Oblast and people can not longer afford food". This is way better. Thank you.
Keep safe. Merry Christmas.
My sincere condolences.
It must be terrible when your president is only concerned with his own wishes and destroys his country's economy in the process.
Terrible that Mr Putin places the security interests of his country above those of NATO.
No, all people support president against f a s cis sts like you.
Lovely, all fantastic in Russia, prices even go down.
Russian economy is collapsing due to this war,, people is suffering this is just a start and next years higher inflation will double or x10
Я не страдаю ☝️😉
Хватит врать про страдания. Все к Новому году готовятся.. 😁
No. Russia has 40% of world resources. And don't suffer from material thing like you.))
I understand that what is something that you want it happen but sorry it will not happen. Go to sleep and dream on😂😂
Same here in the West. Unions ask for higher wages and are surpirsed next year prices go up again. Also USD wins against EUR.
