Housing and utility bills in some parts of Russia are expected to soar by up to 25% as the country's economic meltdown worsens. Russian media reports that tariffs on housing, gas, water and electricity will go up by an average of 11.9% on July 1, but some regions will see an increase between 23% and 25%. Mortgage rates have also soared to 25% in recent months. One Russian newspaper, translated into English by the BBC's Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg and shared on social media, says the increase will be "painful for many families".
The same publication reports the experience of a former Russian prime minister's sister, who has a monthly pension of 22,000 roubles (£203) but whose bills per month for a small, two-room flat amount to 18,000 (£166). This week's Russian media reports about the state of the country's economy come after a warning was issued that Russia's economy is on the brink of recession.
Economy Minister Maxim Reshetnikov delivered the warning at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, the annual event in Russia's second largest city which aims to highlight the country's economic might and court foreign investors.
Russian business news outlet RBC quoted Reshetnikov as saying "the numbers indicate cooling, but all our numbers are (like) a rearview mirror". He said that "judging by the way businesses currently feel and the indicators, we are already, it seems to me, on the brink of going into a recession".
