Thank you very much for showing us the truth about Russia. Propagandists and liars like righteousness89 and Botragelad or whatever fanciful name he calls himself will usually avoid this thread because it counters the lies they all promote about Russia being a poor country where food is expensive and unavailable.

Getting this much food for 9500 is so madly cheap. And to think it's even more expensive than usual because the region is large and cold. Here in Naija, 9500 won't even buy that chicken 😂

Botragelad, righteousness89, and co, how much do you guys spend on this in the US?

Do you also like US policy towards her neighbors and the rest of the world? Why is US next door neighbors poor and crime ridden?

Do you like the fact that the US is abusing the dollar to sanction countries that doesn't do it's bidding?

The world came together to agree to use the dollar. Today the US is using it as a weapon to strangle the whole world.

Uganda and so many other countries were sanctioned because they refused to legalize gay rights. Do you also like that?

You don't like Russia because western media brainwashed you to hate them. Russia has never done you or your country any wrong as far as I'm concerned.

The whole of Africa only have good memories of Russia. But you hate them??

Quodseverismete:
Things are far better than in Nigeria. Any country whose highest denomination currency cannot buy a plate of food, that country is in big trouble.
In Nigeria today, the highest denomination which is one thousand naira cannot afford a plate of food in the least restaurant, thanks to the economy annihilation policies of emilokan and his all knowing ronus.

Any body telling you things are cheaper in Nigeria more than the western countries and other European countries is using charcoal to hit up his brains

Well in my opinion maybe population. Yakutsk is the capital city of Yakutia. Yakutia is about three times the size of Nigeria by land mass but less than one million people live in Yakutia. Yakutsk itself has about 350k residents only. Not sure how it adds up but a very beautiful city with low population compared to a place like Nigeria makes living standard very good.
Yakutsk is still expensive though. House rents starts from like 350k a month for good apartments.
Thanks to the Russian government's education system for citizens and foreigners though, I pay less than 18k naira a month for my 24 hours wifi, hot and cold water, electricity dormitory with a washing machine and they change my bed clothing for me twice a month.

I don't think the government is subsidizing anything food here. The only thing they subsidize is fuel for residents of Yakutsk because here in winter people leave their cars running 24/7 otherwise, without a heated car park, once you shut down your car, it freezes and starting it because a problem.

Nobody hates Russia persay but the evil in the kremlin that has launched an unprovoked war which has driven the prices of food, fuel and other costs of living spiraling out of control.

WriteerNg:
There's no greater evil in the world than the United States which have killed over 10 million people since WWII.

Russia is never touching the US record for number of innocent civilians it has killed, even in the next 500 years.

Should i list names of countries the US have bombed since then?

From churches to weddings to schools to hospitals all across the middle east.

Would you like to view images of Gazan men, women's and children blended to bits by Israeli bombs donated by the United States.

The United States is worse than evil, they are blood sucking vampires. They feed fat from people's death.

Stop being an ignorant fool and research rather than being brainwashed by western media to call someone evil. Inheriting enemies is a sign of low IQ.

Not even an average Ukrainian living in the Donbass will tell you the war was unprovoked. The war began as far back as 2014. You are just not informed.

One full chicken for 2.5k?
It's 15k in Nigeria with 70k minimum wage

imbless:
You are nothing but a braindead Zombie that has been programmed to be a nuisance, you are probably still eating Mama thank you, or you are one of those irredeemable dregs of the society whose brain is half a pea size.

Going by this your stupid narrative, everyone should leave their profession and Jobs and become a farmer just because they want food to be cheaper, your turd of a brain didn't even consider that it's not everyone has access to farmland, you didn't even consider the issue of herdsmen, logistics, loans and other roles your inept Tpain has to play.

You are very daft, no need for me to continue with this conversation.

In summary, Yakutsk, despite being one of the most expensive places in Russia, it's still far cheaper than Nigeria.

Imagine buying a full chicken for ₦2,550 in Yakutsk, while only one egg is ₦300 and a chicken lap is ₦4,000 in Nigeria

When it comes to food items, Yakutsk, Russia is probably the most expensive city in Russia.

Seven hours ahead of Moscow's time zone, eight hours ahead of Nigeria's, logistics of transporting food to Yakutsk adds up to the cost.

Also, at minus 63 degrees Celsius lowest temp. Yakutsk is the coldest city in the world.
Farmers can only farm for about three months a year and livestock's farming requires considerably high amount of energy to maintain temperature requirements.
These factors ensures that food prices remain high in Yakutsk especially in winter. But how expensive are these food items exactly?

One Turkey leg 108 Rubles About 1,550 in naira

0.5 kg Pig meat 227 Rubles About 3,200 in naira

One Whole chicken about 1.5kg 180 Rubles about 2,550 in naira


0.7kg Onions 66 Rubles About 950 naira

1kg Sweet Potatoes 94 Rubles About 1,350 in naira

Note: that Naira/Rubles exchange rate fluctuates between 14 to 14.5 Naira per Ruble

Also, even though these were the costs of these items, the supermarket still gave me a 5% discount on these items because I have a student ID card.

Note that these I purchased these food items in a retail supermarket. Also, things are expensive in Russia right now dues to sanctions which is the irony of the whole thing.

Despite economic issues and sanctions, Russia is still able to provide a quality standard of living to foreigners and their citizens even in a remote city like our Yakutsk.❤️
