^ Again if you overlook the US Dollar Sign being after the amount - the Russian Ruble sign is usually put after the amount though - it is interesting to see the prices between the two countries. This isn't for Moscow though which is one of the most expensive cities in the world. I remember when I lived in Yaroslavl and could "live like a king" for the same amount of money I did in the US and then I would go to Moscow and everything was 4 or 5 times more. ^
