    From the first vid:

    “Strawberries are 1000 rubles a kilo”

    So let’s see 1000 rubles is about 13 dollars, and a kilogram is 2.2 pounds . So a little over six dollars a pound. That’s about what strawberries are locally. Good to know that “the country is imploding” prices are about the same around the world.

      The median income in Russia is 4 times less than the USA. So to earn that strawberry money would take 4 times longer.
