In Russia, hellish growth in prices for equipment, everything went up by 30%, I will tell you what will happen next.

From year to year, we observe price in Russia. We can say that most of the population even began to get used to it, but 2022 made its own adjustments. Inflation has accelerated at a pace and prices continue to rise. Interestingly, even traditional products that seem to have nothing to do with the West have risen in price.



For example, you can take vegetables in the supermarket. The value of some positions broke a 30% difference compared to last year. Cucumbers, tomatoes, even potatoes. And these are not imported varieties, but local, greenhouses. The same can be attributed to chicken meat, pork, beef. Why is this happening, did grass, millet and mixed feed also impose sanctions on the country?

The fact is that the world has actually become very small. There was the Internet, air freight, trade in goods that are not everywhere. Simply put, we all adhered to the “hand washes” rule. That's what we've been working towards all our history. Remember at least the Silk Road or caravans with various goods wandering through the hot desert.



Everyone wants to be able to go to the next store around the corner and buy the same bananas or some persimmon on the cheap. 50 years ago, no one saw this fruit in the eye. It's development and progress. Unfortunately, we are now seeing things gradually change for the worse.

Some foreign products are already leaving store shelves. But for now, you can replace them with something similar or just try to forget about them as something nostalgic, from childhood. Switch to simpler products: buckwheat, apples, pears. The older generation is almost ready for this change. But the younger generation and especially the children do not like such a life, and they do not understand the reason for these measures.



But that's not all. If everything is almost clear with basic products (potatoes and pasta are always the same), then the technique is already a more serious problem. They tried to fight this problem in the USSR. It is not for nothing that the well-known VAZ 2101 or at least the same Zaporozhets is just copies of different models of Fiat. Only Fiat and other Western car companies developed their products, and Soviet analogues decided to focus on the classics. There was not enough capacity for development.

Audio, video, automotive and so on. Once it was really possible to exchange an imported VCR with a couple of cassettes for one in a good area of the city. Why is that? Human nature seeks progress. Why did Columbus or Miklouho-Maclay suddenly abandon everything and sail to conquer the unknown? For the sake of human development, understanding the structure of the world. Otherwise, stagnation and stalemate.



But back to our prices and our products. If we do not mention the increase in the price of foreign industrial parts for aircraft equipment, complex electrical appliances, etc., in fact, we will have the following: technology for a modern person is needed like air. For 10 years we can not imagine our life without a smartphone or tablet.

And this is not about the usual whims of spoiled children. With the help of modern phones, people have long earned a living, make transactions, communicate with relatives, even pay for utilities or gasoline at the gas station. It's convenient. This is not the future, it has long and firmly burst into our lives. And you have to pay for that convenience.



Modern medical equipment also came from the West. Even now, you can look on the Internet and compare where richer people go to be treated. Those who have the opportunity to pay for professional doctors and the necessary care. Europe, America, Israel. There are also some good hospitals in Russia. But all of them require constant support in medicines and high-quality equipment. What if it all disappears? And in addition to hospitals, there are a lot of different areas where this is still relevant.

Now to the basic questions. Why did the chicken go up? Because chickens are bred locally. The fact is that eggs for breeding poultry are purchased abroad. Yes, this is the truth of life, and it does not work otherwise. Cucumber tomatoes, too. Sowing material is also expensive and is purchased in neighboring countries. And so on and so forth. Even pasta is made from grain. Good grain, and to sow it, you need technology because of the bumper. No technology or more expensive? Potatoes have gone up in value. Here we go.



We need to add to all this inflation, domestic spending, the health of the ruble. And we get very different numbers. Maybe not so obvious yet. There's more stock in the bins. But the prospects are just around the corner. Where is the entire civilized world headed? Come on. Any other path is nothing but a path to nowhere.
