Saving money for butter: Russians' moods have changed in an unexpected direction

Saving money for butter: Russians' mood has changed in an unexpected direction Alexandra Sadovaya

According to surveys, almost half of Russians, 47.6%, admitted that their lives have worsened because of the war against Ukraine. Russia, which attacked the Ukrainians, is now suffering from huge food prices. In particular, a loaf of bread can cost a thousand rubles.

Russians are also promised that “they will no longer need to save up for butter.” Olga Romanova, chairwoman of the “Sidyashchaya Rus” charity foundation, told Channel 24 about this.

“For example, in Novosibirsk, the government announced social benefits very nicely. Residents will no longer need to save up for butter. That is, they promise to stop the growth of inflation. In butter, it is 42%,” she emphasized.

Russians want to go to the front

Olga Romanova noted that there is currently a lot of competition among Russians to go to the front in Ukraine. Military registration and enlistment offices are trying to contain this flow. The thing is, they want to get money.

This is confidence that Trump will come and restore order. Trump came, so it's faster to get 5 million rubles to the front, the war will end and you can take the money back, – said the head of the charity fund “Sidyashchaya Rus”.

By the way, Doctor of Economics Igor Lipsits explained that Russia does not have the ability to finance the war without causing serious losses to its own economy. According to him, they will be forced to “print more money”, inflation will continue to accelerate there. The longer the aggressor country fights, the worse it will be to live there.
