Are Russians rich or poor?

199 1 The Soviet Union disintegrated and Russia became the main successor of the former Soviet Union. In addition to its vast territory, it also inherited the main industrial and commercial institutions of the Soviet Union. Therefore, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia developed rapidly with the help of these legacies left by the Soviet Union, and got rid of the poverty in the Soviet period and became a relatively high-income country.

Especially after Putin took office as president, he led the people to develop the economy nonstop, so that the per capita GDP of Russia has now reached more than 654.38+0 million US dollars. Judging from such a data, it seems that the Russian people are richer than the people of China. So are the Russian people poor or rich? What is the life of their people?

In fact, simply saying that a country's people are poor and rich is a very imprecise problem, because every country has poor and rich people, and the gap between rich and poor is everywhere.

Take India as an example. Perhaps in everyone's impression, India is an extremely poor country. In fact, the rich in India really have an extremely rich state, because 80% of India's assets are in the hands of 5% of the rich. The living conditions of the remaining 95% Indians are really average, but their average GDP is still very high.

Just like a joke on the Internet, you and Ma Yun are definitely the richest people in your village on average. The fact is that the average does not represent a person's actual income.

In fact, on the whole, the life of most people in Russia is still relatively comfortable, because the prices in Russia are still relatively low. For example, Russians have never had the pressure of mortgage or car loan from China. Because Russia's housing is mainly controlled by some government-run construction companies, without the hype of intermediate developers, house prices will naturally drop a lot.

When an ordinary worker buys a house, that is, the savings of at most three to five years, the mortgage of ordinary wage earners will not exceed 10 years, unlike China people who have to invest three to five decades at once to change their loans.

Although imported cars in Russia are more expensive, domestic cars are still relatively cheap and affordable for ordinary people. So buying a house and a car in Russia is not as difficult as in China.

The salary of the same type of work may be a little higher than that in China.

If you don't want to buy a house built by the state, you can also build a house by enclosure. Because Russia is vast and sparsely populated, many places in the Far East are uninhabited. In order to encourage immigrants to these sparsely populated places, Russia allows people to live in some places suitable for living and farming without paying any money at all, and sometimes they can get government subsidies for construction and housing.

If you have no money, but want to own a house, you can emigrate to a specific area to work according to the arrangement of the state. Not only do we have to pay no money, we will also allocate a house in the future, and even give some living expenses, which is the same as the nature of our country encouraging immigrants to Xinjiang in the last century.

Medical education is also highly subsidized. At present, all medical personnel in Russia are in the state system, and people do not need to pay for medical treatment. The price of drugs in hospitals is also controlled by the state, so people need to spend very little money to see a doctor. Even if you are hospitalized, you only pay the service fees of some service personnel, and the patients themselves don't have to bear too much.

At present, Russia has also achieved free education for all. If you do well, you don't have to pay tuition from school to college. If you do well, you can even get a scholarship.

To sum up, Russia's survival index may be a little higher than China's, so on the whole, Russians should be considered relatively rich.
