ReadingRussia – I giornali russi di oggi sugli attuali problemi economici in Russia: “Il burro è più caro del 30% rispetto all’anno scorso…il prezzo delle patate è aumentato del 65%.” Inoltre, il rublo scende oltre quota 100 rispetto al dollaro e “le banche cinesi rafforzano i controlli sui pagamenti…” Steve Rosenberg per BBC News

I’d love to have numbers like this here in the country I’m living in. Prices have doubled since the war began.
Haven’t we basically heard the same from the US?
Prices in Germany went up significantly too.
good
I’m ok, ruSSia should suffer
I thought all the Russian news was fake?
Iam not from Russia and I pay 40% more for butter and 60% more for eggs (just to name the two i consume a lot).
Still not painful enough for Russians when you consider the massive humanitarian and economic damage that Ukrainians are enduring. The West needs to clamp down further on the loopholes that Russia is exploiting to get “evil Western” goods.
war sucks for everyone, the difference is that those motherfuckers are invading other countries.. stupid old world expansionism mindset.. the only way out of this mess is through that stupidity; cause I can tell you now, it won’t stop with ukraine if we don’t stop russia
Can we take a moment to appreciate the quality of Steve Rosenberg’s reporting? Always clear, concise, straight to the essential, easy to understand and probably as objective as an outsider can be.
That shit is happening all over the world ever since COVID and arguably the invasion of Ukraine. Diary and beef products especially have gone up to insane prices here too.
Hol up, but why is butter 30% more expensive in Europe as well then?
time to call tucker carlson again for another propaganda piece on ruski supermarket prices
I am wondering why this is happening. I’m surprised that a prosperous country with such a kind government can get to this place. `¯_(ツ)_/¯`
In all Europe the prices of food went up 3x in a last 3 years. Not to mention the price of renting etc., etc. It’s all just political games.
The price of everything has gone up everywhere on the planet. In the UK just about everything is twice as much money as it was two years ago. Mango used this issue as leverage in the US elections…blaming inflation on the Biden administration and people fell for it….in reality it is a global issue.
Oh no. Anyways.
Sweden saw the same kind of increases a year ago (from January 2024):
|**Product**|**Price change since November 2023 (%)**|**Price change since December 2022 (%)**|
|:-|:-|:-|
|Cauliflower|14.9|47.5|
|Sugar|-0.2|47.0|
|Tomatoes|-6.3|34.4|
|Fresh berries|-7.4|29.7|
|Cocoa and chocolate drinks|3.0|27.4|
|Cured/smoked salmon fish|-6.6|27.3|
|Pears|2.9|24.9|
|Yellow onion|-2.5|24.9|
|Oranges|-18.9|24.0|
|Juice and nectar|1.7|18.3|

Prices in Europe are insane at the moment, mostly due to government spending during covid, but nice propaganda piece.
Damn, my country is not in war and our prices surged up more than Russian prices. Balkan style…
Im from Russia: butter is like 15 usd per kilo (premium quality), premium eggs are like 1.20 usd a dozen. Avg salary is 830 usd after taxes. You can buy 2000 kkal in butter daily in exchange for like 12% of avg salary. Not sure what the fuzz is about.
Love the fact they’re blaming the Central Bank for failing to control the inflation.
Yeah, sure. It’s the central bank which has ordered this disastrous and neverending dumb war, has nothing to do with the decadent old fart who has never invested in things like research, industry, and trading who suddenly himself and his corrupted friends needed more toys and lands to ruin, nah, it’s the Central Bank BLYAT THANKS OBAMA.
Instead of investing in schools, hospitals, medicine, infrastructure, etc, putin spends all the budget on missiles. A warmongering subhuman who cares only about his ego.
Exactly the same story in the rest of Europe and we aren’t directly at war. Next.
#hopium 🙂
Aus here. Biggest gripe is olive oil. 1L for 10 aud pre covid, same bottle 28 aud now.
Don’t think 40% over two years on some products is exactly the strong anti war inflation trigger we all want it to be.
And were a net exporter of much well everything agricultural plus had the lowest peak inflation rates in the oecd.
Hope it gets even worse for them
This is giving 1984 vibes. The prices has gone up 157 percent but put it as 65 percent.
When it comes to food, your stomach will make you think differently, and if they choose starvation, well.. they deserve it.
Steve Rosenberg haven’t been in Britain for long time.
Such a strong country. Russia the titan bear!
My cousins are sh*t deep in propaganda telling me if they wanted they would roll over Ukraine like it’s nothing. That their losses are nothing. And they are just playing and being careful with the Russian population in Ukraine..
Doesn’t this price increases applies across whole Europe? Russian economy looks pretty strong to me. And why is that: heavilly industrialized, massive natural resources, strong economic partnerships with China, Brazil, India etc. To me this looks more like western propaganda.
Butt-flation: 🇬🇧🤝🇷🇺
Watch them blame the west when one of those stolen Airbus’s finally falls out of the sky from lack of maintenance.
So better than Eu? Inflation upped the price of butter for me more than 30% in these last few years…
And we are back to the prices of Russian gorceries xD fucking hillarious.
Fuck them
Since the beginning of the war, we are told that Putin is sick with cancer, that Russia will collapse economically… still the war is going on.
I wouldn’t put too much credit on these “news”
It’s 30-50 % in all Europe potatoes also 50% or more so doesn’t really matter when it comes to food.
Vodka I demand booze ok pass me the meths
Stuff never get’s more expensive, just more money printed and the value of money falls. It even has a name 🙂 Inflation.
Rusia needs the war to end and needs to win. Trump is a potential support, but not for sure. The ICBM is part of the show.
Helping Ukraine now is more important than ever
oh no, the huge manatee!
Is it any different for us?
I swear butter costs 100% more than a year ago, i’ve seen butter for over 4€ when i bought some for 1,69€ maybe 18 months ago
Imagine if the Russians sneakily use margarine instead and sell it as butter cause corruption, etc
It’s crazy that this is all Russians have to worry about when you consider what Ukrainians deal with on a daily basis.
I’m not happy until one potato is 1 billion rubles
I am a bit surprised they are reporting this in a Russian newspaper
Yeah.. Dehumanizing comments and posts calling for war and destruction here are getting old.
Let’s not pretend it’s anything other than bloody business negotiations for another taxpayer money extortion round.
