Pre-Revolutionary salary and cash equivalents

Pre-Revolutionary salary and cash equivalents in the Soviet and modern money

Many people wonder how prepared before the revolution, the Russian people, and that the lack of money.
Take for example the salary vnetabelnogo clerk, the clerk has not even reached the rank of collegiate registrar.
In rubles from 37 rubles and 24 kopecks a half.
In those years there was the gold standard, and every ruble contained the 17, 424 the proportion of pure gold, that is, 0, 774 235 g in terms of metric measures.
Therefore clerk salary is 28 836 382 575 gram of gold.
If we divide the weight on the current gold content of the ruble - and the ruble today contains 0 007 494 grams of gold, we get 38,479 rubles and 27 kopecks as of 19 October 2010.





As you can see, the pre-revolutionary Russian ruble is 1040 rubles 27 kopecks date. Recall that in 1983 it was equal to 7, 45 Soviet ruble, which in a way is now 139 Russian.

And how, then, I received the Russian workers? The average salary in the first half of 1914 in St. Petersburg was 22 rubles 53 kopecks - 17, 44,351,455 grams in terms of gold.
Multiply this amount by 1040 and get 27 23 437 Russian rubles. The Soviet money is respectively 168 rubles 85 kopecks.
Now look at the table of salaries 1897 - 2010 years, which shows that in 1983 the average salary in the USSR was 165, 75 cents, that is, about the same as the Russian workers and received before the revolution.
But workers' wages is not the average salary - the average salary in Russia in 1913 amounted to 37, 5 rubles, which is almost exactly corresponds to the above-stated salary vnetabelnogo clerk.

And how, you ask, then cost products?
Pounds of meat in 1914 was worth 19 kopecks. Russian pound weighed 0 409 512 41 grams.
So kilogram, whether he had a measure of weight, would cost 46 cents 39 - 0, 359 grams of gold, that is 373 rubles 46 kopecks.
Thus, a worker could buy his salary 48, 6 kg of meat, if, of course, wanted to.
Vnetabelny same clerk could have bought all your Glacier 80, 26 pounds.



In pre-revolutionary Soviet money meat would cost 3 rubles 48 kopecks. The Soviet meat cost in the 1983 4 rubles 50 kopecks, so that the Soviet his salary could buy only the amount of 36 833 kg, ie, 1, 29 times more than before the revolution.
Now let's see how much cost to rent a house. Rental housing cost in St. Petersburg 25, and in Moscow and Kiev 20 cents per square yard per month. These 20 cents today is 208 rubles, and a square yards - 0, 5058 m².
That is, the monthly rent per square meter cost in 114 411 rubles. The apartment is a hundred square yards of our clerk would be filmed in St. Petersburg for 25 rubles per month.
But he is such an apartment is not rented, and was satisfied with basement and attic garret, where the area was smaller, and the rental rate - lower.
This apartment rented usually titulyashki - titular councilors receiving salary level army captain, but no extra money for the army officers entered to January 1, 1909.
Naked titular counselor salary was 105 rubles a month (109 thousand 228 rubles) per month.
Thus, the 50-meter apartment cost the titulyashke less than a quarter of the salary.

* Match the salary of the captain and the court counselor does not mean compliance with these ranks each other.
