It's a bit wishy-washy. Food and housing bills are cheaper (a flat you own is like...$50-100 a month in a city that's not moscow), but anything imported can get really fucking expensive - either you get cheap crap from china, or if you have to get something name-brand it is usually more expensive than it is in europe. Like how Valve Index ($1k MSRP) was like $2-3k in the shops.
So a person outside of moscow can be living on $100 to $250 but not be able to afford any luxuries that could be more afforable outside of russia.
