The average Russian monthly income right now is $1300 compared to $630 a year ago. If you are to factor the cost of living it is an equivalent of $60k a year in Chicago. And there is no shortage of baby formula or tampons in Russia.

It is, however, a shame to dash the hopes and dreams of those who want to believe that Joe Biden and Co. are crushing Russia with their amazing policies. After his administration’s brilliantly planned exit from Afghanistan how can you blame them for being Biden’s greatest admirers?
