For example, electricity, hot water and heating have doubled in price. At the same time, rental housing remained the same, said the tourist’s interlocutor.”The prices of products have indeed increased, some goods have become twice as expensive,” added the Russian emigrant.On average, a family of three spends 400 to 450 euros per month on food. Local authorities provide assistance to citizens in need. For example, in the fall, each asset received 100 euros in compensation for the increase in the price of electricity. Having learned this, the Russian woman came to the conclusion that despite the current situation, the Germans do not live so badly.
