Inequality in Russia increases

The 100 richest Russians now have values equal to more than 30 percent of the country’s economy. About 18.9 million Russians live below the poverty line, earning less than 4,000 RUB (170 USD) per month. At the same time, inequality between rich and poor in the country is on the increase.
