Before we discuss food prices in Russia, please examine the video first.
Also look at the cars they drive. Who recalls the ancient looking cars Russia had under Stalin? Even prior when Reagan was President?

Putin truly created a rogue nation that has sanctions on them. '
Notice the quality of the produce. Notice chicken is very reasonable.
Let her take you on a tour of a supermarket. Are you a bit surprised?

This is not Moscow so it may shock you.

Looks like prices have increased by a large amount from what I remember when I was working there in the late 90s. But I know they did not have that much inventory. I remember one of the fellows that I was working with bought a dozen oranges. The local got very hostile and were muttering at him. After we left we asked the interpreter why they were so upset. Turns out he had bought the biggest share of the oranges that the market was going to get in for a number of days. The interpreter said it would be five or six days before they got in another shipment.
 
Not bad til you figure out average wages in Russia versus the U.S.

Average wages Russia is about 8000 Ruples. Or about a $1000 a month
