But how far does 300USD go in Russia compared to the US? In the US, you would literally STARVE on that salary considering even a loaf of bread costs roughly 1.29-3.99 a loaf (depending on type of bread and where you buy it). It can actually be more in specialty shops. What does a typical carton of milk cost there (or a typical weekly amount of milk)? 300USD would not even pay the rent! (Nor would it even come close in most places in the US).

>It's very depends on region. Russia is a VERY large country, and situation very differs both in far east regions from west, and in large cities from small towns. For instance, a salary of entry-level developer in Moscow is 300 USD per month, but in province it's a salary of a very skilled developer. I can't say that in general economic situation is very bad, and I'm sure that now it much better than two years ago.
