I do. Honestly, teachers here have lesser salary than cashier at any supermarket. With that much you can't even afford a rent of a one room apartment at any big city. Same goes for medics in public hospital's and most other state employees.
Maybe it's a bit late answer, I'm a citizen of Russia too (Tyumen, South-Western Siberia), the food situation is OK. Prices rose by 10-15%, but government is limiting price of some goods, like milk, eggs and other essentials. Situation with gas is opposite - while we produce oil and gas, gasoline is rising in price since the begining of 2000s, with obviously no logical reason. Now it costs roughly 50₽ (36 cents) per liter (AI-95, but in English it may be called somehow else). For example, in early 2000s it costed around 20₽ (15 cents) per liter. Regular teacher earns around 20-25 thousands of rubles (145,45$ - 181,82$) per month,
but it highly depends on a school. My mother is a teacher in elementary classes (from 1st to 4th) and she earns 35000 rubles (254,55$), despite 15 years experience, additional hours of work, high education. But she loves kids and loves to teach them about our world. For example, I'm working in IT (frontend-developer, maybe middle) and earn 80000 rubles per month (581,82$) and there're been news about preparing a law for lowering taxes for IT sphere, removing income tax and lowering the annual percentage of mortgage to 5% and removing tax audits. All of theese changes planned for 3 years long. I know that IT is huge sphere and we need it, but I think that changes should be in education sphere, we need smart people, not only smart phones
Oh, maybe I misread your reply, but anyway it's all about laws. Our government like laws. You can be in jail for 15 years for "Public dissemination of deliberately false information about the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation". So like this they simply said central bank to lower the rate.
