Looks like Russia can finally breathe a little — annual inflation in June dropped to 9.4%, better than May’s 9.88%. But don’t rush to celebrate! Consumer prices still rose by 0.2% compared to the previous month. And food? That’s where the real drama is — food prices jumped 0.11% in June alone, and a whopping 11.91% year-on-year! So, while overall inflation is falling, people’s wallets are still hurting from pricier food. Rosstat, Russia’s federal statistics service, makes it clear the situation isn’t improving equally for everyone. Inflation in Russia is like an old joke — it’s falling, but not for everyone! If you thought lower inflation meant cheaper food, think again. These stats shed light on how economic reality differs from official numbers. While the government brags about inflation dropping, ordinary folks keep paying more for basics. Is this a real reason to be hopeful or just another illusion? Drop your thoughts — maybe together we’ll figure out what’s really going on in Russia’s economy!
