Half of Working Russians Earn Less Than $550 a Month

Half of Russian workers earn salaries of less than 35,000 rubles ($550) a month,

despite a small increase in average monthly income over the past year, according to newly released official data.

Stagnation in real disposable income has led to a slow deterioration in the quality of life for ordinary Russians and is feeding a growing propensity for social unrest.

Russians have named wealth inequality as the biggest reason why they’re unhappy with Putin.
