According to RIA Novosti, the highest wages in Russia are in Salekhard, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Moscow, Anadyr, Khanty-Mansiysk, Surgut, St. Petersburg, Magadan, Tyumen, and Murmansk. Northern cities dominate the top because of extraction of mineral resources there. The lowest wages are in such southern cities as Elista, Vladikavkaz, and Nalchik. 25-year-old Russian Daniil Medvedev won the US Open tennis championship by beating the first racket of the world Serb Novak Djokovic (6:4, 6:4, 6:4). For Daniil, this is the first victory in the Grand Slam tournaments. He became the third Russian in history to win a tournament of this level. The Russian national team won the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup held at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow (August 19-29).

Mimi asks: What happens if I am diagnosed with COVID while in Russia? Are there quarantine hotels? What does the government require?
Expert's answer:
There is no general practice for the whole of Russia, much depends on the specific region. When you receive a positive PCR test for COVID, you will be asked to comply with a self-isolation regimen at the place of current residence, if you are mildly ill. In more severe cases you will be able to receive treatment at local hospitals, but probably not for free.
