This came up on N-TV today, and there's a UN group which monitors food costs around the world. So in the last month....food escalated in Russian supermarkets.
Current figure? Forty-percent of your normal salary for a Russian....is spent now on food.
Creating more chaos within Russia? The government could go back to Soviet Union practices, and just hand out a bag of sugar, coffee and flour once a month....free of charge, and absorb this cost (by printing more Rubles of course).
