It's a fortnight's pay for a Russian worker. The exchange rate is controlled by Moscow.

That's always the funniest part >I was concerned about violent crime, so I voted for the guy with 34 convictions and 27 women j'accusing him of sexual abuse, instead of the literal prosecutor. >I have blue-collar concerns, and who best to fix them than a real-estate millionaire from New York
