They are doing so well that they come live in Europe if they have the possibility. I have friends in Russia and the situation was not good before war and now it is shit.

There are a lot disparity in the country. You have people with a lot of money that had a lot of benefits after the fall of Ussr, mostly muscovite. But a lot of people are very poor there.
