"Before, I used to buy eggs for 70 rubles ($0.78) a dozen. Now they cost between 130 and 140 rubles ($1.45 to $1.56)—twice as much," Ilia Zaroubine, a 21-year-old student, said.
Near the end
And here in Quebec we are paying 6CAD(4.50)usd for a dozen... While not being embroiled in a war of our own design.
Correction: The 6CAD was for 18. That is what I get for checking grocery websites before coffee - It is more like 4CAD per dozen.
But average Canadian makes more money than average Russian, therefore Canadian farmer will ask for more money to afford his shopping or farm expenses than Russian farmer would.
So fucking cheap! It's about 3+ SEK per egg in Sweden where I live.
True, but the average income / buying power has to be factored in too, right? Caveman googling gives the average Russian's income to be $14k USD / year whereas Swedes are at $47k USD / year. Assuming more caveman math, that'd be like paying $5.23/dozen in Rubles compared to $3.60/dozen in SEK.
Of course you can't just do these sort of comparisons exactly, because money's always more complicated than that, but I think it gives a better context.
Shit ton of taxes in Sweden too
Here in colombia eggs cost ~$3 for a dozen.
Do like I did and move out to the countryside, buy a vastly cheaper house with some land, work in IT so you can work remotely most days and get some hens. Spend far less on their feed than I did on eggs and I find home range eggs to be a very appreciated going away gift these days.
Those cartons are available for 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20 eggs.
Thanks to shrinkflation we will start seeing that in America at some point.
I can buy eggs in the following sizes at my grocery store:
4, 6, 12, 18, 24, 32
In the USA.
Since before the pandemic.
I have no idea what the 4 pack is for but it’s a silly looking container.
It’s for cooking when you don’t eat eggs much
32 eggs in a cup like Rocky
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russia's egg crisis spiraled out of control this week after an attempt was made on the life of the head of a poultry farm in the Voronezh region, with prices for the staple food item continuing to climb.
Gennady Shiryaev, the 59-year-old head of the Tretyakov Poultry Farm, the largest in the western Voronezh region, was driving home when an unknown person fired two shots at his car.
Russia has seen an unprecedented surge in egg prices this year against a backdrop of high inflation and sanctions imposed by the West in response to President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
A day before it happened, Russia's Federal Anti-Monopoly Service initiated a case against Shiryaev's poultry farm—and three other local producers—for sharply increasing egg prices in October.
In a rare apology from the Russian president, Putin said during his end-of-year press conference that insufficient imports and demand are to blame for the hiked prices.
Muscovites told news agency AFP in an article published on December 12 that they have experienced even steeper price increases than what has been reported by Rosstat.
The original article contains 493 words, the summary contains 181 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I realize that it's probably a greater percentage of total wages, but by US standards, that's still dirt cheap.
Here I am paying almost $9 a dozen for cruelty free eggs.
I'm completely against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and their anti LGBT policies, among other policies. but I recall America having an egg price spike in 2022. Each countries price spike may have been caused by different reasons, but I believe Putin when he says this will be temporary and the government will work on fixing this.

Metric carton of eggs.
It's not metric, but there's another logic to it.

Good stop buying eggs
