An activist in cycling and part-time blogger Ilya Varlamov, known for his joint trips with Putin and a subtle sense of style, set out to answer the eternal question: "Who is good in Russia?" To do this, he took data on the city budget and divided by the number of residents, hoping that the resulting figure (in thousands of rubles per person) will show which city is richer and which is poorer.
The city of Makhachkala turned out to be the poorest, there per citizen there are no more than 10 thousand "budget" rubles. And which city turned out to be the richest, you will learn from Top 10 Russian cities sorted by budget per person.
