"Eggs
In Tyumen, the minimum cost of a dozen chicken eggs rose to 81 rubles in January."

In Moscow, eggs average $1.72 in US dollars.

Russian wages average about 23% of US wages, so $1.35 in Moscow is the equivalent of around $7.48 in the US.
$7.48 is about what I'd pay at Giant Food in eastern PA, Walmart's best prices are around $5.46.
Russian egg prices, both domestically produced and imported have increased due to several factors, including declining ruble values, labor shortages and bird flu.

US egg prices have also risen substantially since bird flu struck in early 2022 -- increasing from ~$2.00 per dozen to now average $4.95 per dozen, nationwide.
The US range of prices is around $4.25 (Nebraska) to over $7 (i.e. Chicago).

Some progress has been made against bird flu, but US egg prices are not expected to return to normal in 2025.

I would add that egg prices in Russia have nothing to do with culling of egg laying population. Our problem can be fixed, started on Jan 20, Russians can not and will only get worse
