Who in Russia feels the pressure of sanctions

< p>Western publications write about an increase in prices in Russian luxury hotels. There, one night can cost about $500, although prices used to be half that. However, today it is not the rich who feel the impact of sanctions, but the ordinary population.

Just look at what is happening with eggs, how they have become more expensive. It should be understood that this problem has arisen among the general population. This is a consumer market. Moreover, people are now preparing for the holidays, so they cannot do without chicken eggs, said Sergei Zhirnov.

As for the situation with the hotel, it should be understood that accommodation is for such a price can only apply to certain categories of the population and is not at all about the middle class. That's why nothing has changed for rich people yet. They continue to consume luxury goods and do so even though prices have doubled.

“It's no problem for a millionaire to pay $200 or $500 a night,” he added Zhirnov.
