      State sources claim 760€(on 03.26 by rosstat). But it’s a good point to start asking more questions when the claim looks too good to be true – just as it is with the OP’s meme

        The only question you asked was, “does anyone want to move in to a living situation completely dissimilar to the one described in the OP (which effectively no longer exists, contrary to the point I was trying to make)? Didn’t think so 😏”

        The official average salary is a half-truth (hence a russian saying: if my boss eats meat and I eat cabbage, on average we eat golubtsi), most people in the regions are living on 30000 RUB a month or so. It may still be better than the US because you get public transit and thus don’t really need a car but it’s still not good. Capitalism ruins everything.

        China is a more enticing proposition but it’s very difficult/impossible for a foreigner to get a permanent residence permit.

          There is apparently a trick, you can apply for permanent residence in Taiwan. Since Taiwan is considered part of China, the mainland also will support Taiwan’s permanent residency rules and will give you permanent residency on the mainland (in tier 1 cities only afaik).

        Also:

        The average rent in the USSR around 1970 was 2⁠–⁠3% of the average urban family budget. This compares to an average of 20⁠–⁠25% before the Revolution, and 25⁠–⁠30% in the USA in 1970.24

          Your preoccupation with incomes and percentages makes you look anti-revolution and maybe even capitalist, comrade. For people like you, glorious fatherhood has special completely free of charge housing facilities!

            Oh I see, you’re doing the shitlib thing of pretending to be a Red Alert character and confusing it for biting satire instead of the slav minstrel show it is.

            Do an impression of someone from the DPRK next, I’d love to see how funny it is. You’re like the next Sacha Baren Cohen dude.

              Man, I actually wanted to go visit DPRK but it’s seems like an unpopular (hence expensive) destination. A couple of friends went there and said it is like asian Belarus. Which is ehhh idk kinda underwhelming… But maybe one day!

                Work hard and keep your head down and you too may one day have a good enough FICO score to purchase a plane ticket, citizen.

            You were the one who claimed that most people reliably live with 5% or less of their income going to housing expenses.
