Minimum wage in Russia was $190 in 2021, while minimum wage in Ukraine was $245. An average wage in Russia was $688, while $640 in Ukraine. The latter needs to be contextualised: very high Moscow, Petersburg and oil regions salaries distorted the stats.

So even pure wages stats shows, that Ukrainians had more money. Add to this lower prices in Ukraine, as well as a number of Ukrainians who worked abroad and sent money home. Effectively, an average Ukrainian family in province had easily twice as higher income (PPP) as Russians.

It was clear already last year that Ukraine clearly outpaced Russia in economic competition. The current shock of Russian soldiers when they witness how rich was Ukrainian's life compared to Russia, just proves it once again.

For those who continue to ask me about asphalt. Guys, this is the main road in diamant- and gas-rich Yakutsk region. Photos of cars stuck there after rains appear regularly. I understand that Moscow can be chic and cool, and you havn't seen anything else, but Russia is not Moscow

And if you say "oh, it is far in Siberia, but this is not what happens around the capitals": this is a photo from a "Federal Highway" in Petersburg region. Please note the perfect "asphalt".

Here are photos from Russian hospitals. Note that three are from: St.Petersburg, Elektrostal (Moscow suburbia) and Kislovodsk (a regional center and a resort in rich Russian south). Source (a RUSSIAN web page): kaifolog.ru/russia/7724-no

As a former Russian, and a son of a medic, I can smell these pictures, so much they are authentic. It is a mixture of urine, chlorine, cold air, and cheap drugs. A terrible smell I need to say. A one cannot be erased from memory.

For those who say "but Russian GDP is so high!" or "but average wealth is bigger than in Ukraine!" Guys, this is Norilsk, the home of world biggest nickel producer. 177,000 ppl live in Norilsk. The owner of NorNickel Prokhorov has $11bn wealth. This makes $62,000 per person, aha.

I'm confused about why you keep showing us mysterious dirty city pictures instead of just telling us median incomes to avoid the well-established statistical issues with per capita income
I believe modal is better, but that data strangely isn't always made available

Modal doesn't really mean anything for a continuous distribution like income
