Soviet skater, three -time Olympic champion (1972, 1976, 1980), now State Duma deputy Irina Rodnina, in an interview with Sport24 correspondent, Boris Korolev spoke about salaries in Russia and the USA, and also talked about what financial advantages the Russians have compared to Americans. Recall that Rodnina lived 13 years old, where she lived in the US The current time lives her 39-year-old daughter Alena Minkovskaya, who has American citizenship.-a comparison of the salaries of Russia and the USA? They do not need to compare them. If you take the salary of an American, then you need to immediately subtract medical insurance, which on average per month costs about 2 thousand dollars. Then there is insurance for a car, which is much more expensive, housing insurance. If we make all the deductions, plus the tax is not 13%, but 24% with progression … In America, kindergartens, all other charms and the fifth to tenth are paid. These are just naked numbers. There, the amount of the salary is incomparable with spending. And we even have pensioners, although a pension is less than the United States, there is free travel. With us, they are not taxed on an apartment if it is in your property, for a cottage or country house, for 6 hundred parts of land and a garage. This is already crazy money. And in Russia, free medical care, medicines and many products with a discount. For pensioners from a certain age, benefits for paying for housing and communal services are beginning to work. We believe that the benefits should be so, but if you summarize everything, it turns out much more than the pension that the pensioner receives in his hands.– That is, taking into account salaries and pensions in Russia, to live more profitable?– So I will not say. It is profitable to live when you have good prosperity – everywhere. It’s normal to live with money everywhere, but in order to earn this money, you must have an education and work hard, ”said 75-year-old Rodnina.
