And this article also reminds me clearly that in Russia in a country that is known for its elites being extremely affluent there exist still people that really need help, and not only particular African countries face such challenges but also those countries that seem to be developed.</p> Fri, 30 May 2008 13:13:59 +0000 aneesto comment 462263 at http://www.opendemocracy.net http://www.opendemocracy.net/Russia/article/life-on-the-poverty-line-first-part#comment-462249 <p>This is a very engaging account, thank you.</p> <p>It makes me think, as inflation rises throughout the world, that the vulneralbe, those who lose, really are those on fixed incomes, with no way of negotiating a position for themselves any longer. You show how monthly inflation can completely disrupt a state pension that is set annually or quarterly. The sorts of hardship you describe will, I think, be spreading around the world with the new inflation.</p> <p>Tony</p> Thu, 29 May 2008 22:49:45 +0000 opendemocracy comment 462249 at http://www.opendemocracy.net
