If I remember correctly, Saudi average income has been halved in the last decade. I think it stands at about 18,000 US per year. This move to Russian oil could be extremely destructive to them.

You remember partially correctly. It has indeed been halved, but it is down to $10k a year (on average). That is almost half that of the avg Israeli. SA has 25% of the world's oil (and Israel has none), and they still can't make their economy work.
