Russian Government Failing to Stem Rising Poverty
Citat:
The government is failing to protect Russians who are falling into poverty at the fastest rate in nearly two decades, an economist said in an interview published Monday.
The soaring inflation that followed Western sanctions against Moscow for its annexation of Crimea and meddling in eastern Ukraine is eroding the value of Russians' wages, while the country's economy is in recession.
When adjusted for inflation, wages were worth 14 percent less in May this year than in the same month in 2014, the head of the income and living standards analysis center at Moscow's Higher School of Economics, Lilia Ovcharova, said in an interview published on the website of Kommersant, a business daily, on Monday.
“We had not seen such a decline for 17 years prior to that, since 1998,” she was quoted as saying. Official data published Friday showed that the pace of the fall slowed to 7.2 percent in June.
Slipping wages are causing poverty, which fell rapidly in the decade and a half after Russia's economic meltdown in 1998, to start climbing. The number of people below the poverty line reached 22.9 million in the first quarter of this year, compared with 19.8 million in the same period in 2014, according to state statistics service Rosstat.

Economic Crisis Driving Foreigners Out of Russia – Experts

Foreigners that used to live and work in Russia are now fleeing en masse, the Federal Migration Service has revealed.
Since January 2014, 41 percent of Spanish nationals, 38 percent of British nationals, 36 percent of U.S. nationals and 31 percent of German nationals have left Russia, the Noviye Izvestia newspaper reported Monday.
The falling price of oil and several waves of sanctions imposed against Russia by the West in connection with the annexation of Crimea and the ongoing Ukraine conflict led the ruble to lose 40 percent of its value against the dollar in 2014, helping plunge the country into an economic crisis.
Many large international corporations have shut down their branches in Russia, or have culled their foreign specialists — who typically earn significantly more than their Russian counterparts — Noviye Izvestia reported.
