You forgot the satire tag.
Lets take you first example - gas at $2.00 per gallon in Russia. That's not correct, the real price is about $3.25 per gallon. Source
How does that compare to $4.50 per gallon gas here?
US Per Capita Income: $19,306
Russian Per Capita Income: $5,504

A gallon of gasoline relative to median income:
US: $4.50/$19,306 = 0.0233% of income
Russia: $3.25/$5,504 = 0.05904% of income
The median income per person in Russia is one fourth of the median income in the USA, so in reality their gas costs them twice as much relative to their income as gas costs people in the USA. Relative to their income their gas is about the same as gas at $11.40 would be for us.
Most Russians are really poor relative to Americans. That's why things like washing machines, or showers in your own house, or even indoor plumbing are something many Russian soldiers from rural areas have never seen before. They are surprised to see that even rural villages in Ukraine have more modern houses than they do.
The ruble is doing great and obviously you have never been to Russia. I have been all over Russia. Where did you get these ideas? CNN?
I have friends there who laugh at US propaganda like yours.

Why should you or I give a rats rear end what the Per Capita Income is in Russia?
When I was stationed in the Azores, Portugal the per capita income of the subsistence farmers on the island was one hundred dollars per year. What should we have done about that? Nothing! Just what we should do for the Ukraine! Nothing!
