Russian news, notes and thoughts
July, 2017 / 
20 July, 2017 // Russia remains one of the worst countries in the world for retirees. In the Global Retirement Index 2017 developed by Natixis Global Asset Management and CoreData Research, Russia is on the 40th place, after Mexico, China and Turkey. Only Brazil, Greece and India are below Russia.
11 July, 2017 // The number of Russians living below the poverty line (income below the living wage) increased by 2 million in Q1 2017 - to 22 million (15%). June 22, the government raised the living wage to 9,909 Rubles per month (about $ 165). So you can imagine how "rich" are those with income higher than this amount.
