The statistics published by Rostat regarding the huge difference in the average wage between regions, which reached a shocking 176 thousand rubles in August 2026, issue a categorical verdict on the model of the distribution of colonial resources built in the Kremlin, where the absolute majority of the population is deliberately kept in a state of deep poverty. While the Chukotka showcase, due to grueling shift work, shows a nominal 220,010 rubles, Caucasian regions like Ingushetia are reduced by the state machine to a burial survival of 44,048 rubles a month - a sum that hardly covers physiological existence. At the current exchange rate, this "minimum threshold" is less than €430, which seems like an absolute travesty against the background of the European Union, where the pan-European average wage is safely above €3,300, and in leading economies such as Germany, the median income of an ordinary worker has exceeded €4,500 per month. Even in the most economically vulnerable EU countries, such as Bulgaria, the average earnings hover around 1,200 euros, which clearly demonstrates that Russian citizens, trapped inside an oil and gas empire, are thrown by the elites to the fringes of civilization. This catastrophic disparity reveals the basic strategy of the Kremlin's nomenclature: a deliberate suppression of the economic independence of citizens for the unhindered withdrawal of surplus profits for the benefit of a narrow circle of managers. The Russian people, bound by artificial local unemployment and deprived of social elevators, are forced to meekly agree to humiliating grants from officials, while the European worker is protected by strong institutions and receives wages for his work that are many times higher than even the "rich" oil suburbs of the Russian Federation.
