Russian businesses adjust to negative shocks mostly by lowering salaries, rather than firing employees. As a result, Russians have adjusted their consumption patterns to reflect more volatile wages, mostly seen as a temporary condition. Unemployment, on the other hand, is perceived as a much more permanent state, and directly affects Russian consumers’ choices.

If you really believe that idiotic TV ads tell you something about other countries’ mentality I fell sorry for Lithuania…

We in Lithuania got our independence from Russia twenty years ago, so we are still in some sort of position to understand Russian mentality. The first thing that came to my mind when I read this article was a commercial for Russian vodka showing two guys engaged in trap shooting and using family china for the targets. The advert finishes with the words which roughly translate as “One’s mind just can not understand Russia”. Enough said;))?
