It's one of those cruel ironic twists. Wages actually have increased, but inflation has far outpaced them.
It's only barely begun to level back out. The real question is if the wages will stay high once inflation (and greedflation) calms the fuck down.

Putin's lowest was 53, in his first election. The latest was 88%, with most of the others being in the 70% range.
Historically though, Russians, have a way of guaranteeing results like that. Yeltsin is kind of a low percentage outlier by comparison:
