I would never ever try to compare. These guys from Stockholm, Helsinki go to St. Petersburg for shopping. Literally for a food shopping, for a gasoline and course for cheap alcohol.

Nobody knows the real salary of their neighbor, because officially he may receive 50 thousands rubles and 3-rd time more unofficially. So GDP of Russia is a fake. Did you look at the iceberg picture? It describes it all - just believe me. I live here and know how it works.
P.S. As an example, some man has paid for his Moscow apartments about 200 or 250 thousands of USD (don't know how much exactly, because I don't know the actual rate of the USD in the beginning of 2000's) right in the case - like in the US gangster movies. Do you think it was included into the official Russian GDP? LOL ))))
