I've mentioned the gargantuan size of the Russian shadow economy and the
worthlessness of official statistics. I just came across some data that I
thought might show this.
According to the Ministry of the Economy, the average official salary in
Moscow is $210 a month. Also according to the Ministry, it roughly estimates
that average monthly income for a family of three is $1,000.
