One of the women addressed directly to Tamim Putin without saying, “Please answer me, can you live on 10800 rubles (US $ 170) a month”?

“As far as I understand, this is difficult,” Putin replied. The woman in question asked, “I think your salary is 8 million rubles (US $ 12600), isn’t it?” The minimum wage limit in Russia is $ 190. Putin replied Ok but there are many people whose salaries are higher than this. The president’s salary is not the highest.

The Russian woman questioning her told Putin that the situation was very difficult. The woman said that if I go to the grocery store, it costs 1000 rubles. In addition, the cost of public services is 4000 rubles. According to the woman, half of her salary goes to the grocery and public services. Putin replied that it is clear that you are on the right; the government must find a solution too many social problems. He questioned the woman, why not solve these problems? The Russian president said that we were doing so and finding a solution. The woman later requested to have a photo with Putin, which the Russian president accepted.
