    I want to talk about Russian life now. Live testimony. I use Google translator, but I understand many of the texts without a dictionary.
    After the start of the sanctions food prices have increased by 2 times. Prices for clothing increased slightly . Electronics , building materials, price increases by 2 times. Salaries have not changed. Official unemployment statistics, 1 million . It's a lie. The monthly unemployment benefit is equal to 2 kilograms of meat. Many do not see the point of registration at the labor exchange.

    Meat, fish, cheese - we do not buy this food. It is expensive. Supplement the information - milk, butter, cheese - rigged.

    I'm unemployed for 2 years . I am 51 years old. Now I'm hungry. I did not see bread more than a week,no money on the phone. In the kitchen, two kilograms of rice .This poverty. Every day I send out resumes. Useless.

    In February, I was trying to write articles on order . The work was not enough. My earnings February is 4000 rubles. For example:

    1 kg meat-400-500 rubles
    0,5 kg Bread-35 rubles
    10 Eggs-80 rubles
    1 kg sugar-50 rubles

    I live in small city. Rent small apartments is 7000 rubles. I have own small apartment.

    The total area of my apartment , 27 square meters

    Internet, water, electricity, phone- near 2000 rubles/month

    My earnings this month is 0 rubles. I do not know what to do. I have not occupied the Crimea, I did not start aggression against Ukraine. I do not like Putin. He is a rogue, I always knew it. I am an ordinary man, a former engineer , copywriter. I need to survive. This is our life now . Payment for the accession to the detachment of the capitalist countries. Very scary. Complete hopelessness . I can answer any questions. .

    I am an ordinary person , I do not hoaxer , as journalists Russia Today TV channel.

    I can add: Kremlin uses a large number of hired commentators in the Russian Internet . I have read many articles on these people.

    Yes, I try to change my life . I worked in Moscow in November - December. Moscow , a place where you can earn if you are lucky . But I have not got the money , the company kicked all employees and invited new ones. Labour legislation is weaker than the bandits.

    If you want to eat, then you should grow your own food:

    I believe you can have 100 acres of free land if you can farm it for 5 years.

    That's what so many of my pioneer relatives did in America.

    No work. No eat.

    The potatoes are more safe from thieves and invaders, but living so far North is a curse for growing food. I'd relocate South.

    Maybe you could hunt in the Tiaga if you had a rifle/shotgun and get some better meat.

    I used to live in the far north, but then I went to live in another region of the country. Here the mild winter. I want to try to breed bees in the summer. But the main problem - the money for the purchase. I am a hardworking person, but there is a wild unemployment. I see - the state spits in our faces. We need an independent survival.

    Lots of wildlife here , but I'm a city person, I 've never shot a beast . Last summer I had an unsuccessful attempt to catch the duck . She flew away. ) ) ) ) ) I want to try fishing , but I do not have the gear for it. In the fall I will collect hazelnuts in the forest . The main task is to survive now ... I write articles for the sites , but I do not see any money for the work . Many customers prefer to promise a percentage of future profits , but not money. Crisis...

    Sorry you have it so tough.

    However, there is a way to double your money. Take all all your funds to the gambling house and put it on red on the wheel. If the wheel comes up red ---you have doubled your money!

    No why should he do something to change it? He can get paid by the Ukrainian Fascists to write propaganda.
