Inflation in Russia
Inflation in Russia is characterized by the contrast. The most striking example - unreasonably high growth rate of inflation in the medium of the poor and reduce the cost of living for the wealthy strata of the population. Poor in Russia is much more than the rich. Poor mainly acquire essential goods and the high demand for them. Because of this, their prices are rising faster and more intense than for other goods. As a result, the poor are gradually becoming poorer and the rich, respectively, richer.

As the table shows, inflation in Russia is gradually reduced . However, many economists disagree and argue that the data on inflation low. They have a strong case.
It turns out that the prices are not taken into account all goods and service, but only 466 basic. Beyond this set inflation is not fixed. It turns out that you can include in the calculation of the goods and services whose prices have changed the smallest way, and exclude those for which prices have risen the most. And it opens up the possibility for distortion and understating the real rate of inflation.
In 2011, inflation, according to official statistics, amounted to only 6.1%. For example, in 2011, housing and communal services much more expensive: the supply of natural gas - by 17.2 %, the thermal energy - by 12.5%. Significantly more expensive and food: sugar - 25%, bread - by 22% , milk - 19%. However, this price increase will not affect on low inflation. In Russia, there is a paradox - prices are rising, and inflation is reduced.
To summarize, it should again be noted that inflation - is a complex and contradictory phenomenon that has serious negative consequences. To deal with it is necessary to conduct an effective State anti-inflationary policy.
