Earlier it was reported that the cities of the North Caucasus and southern Russia were at the bottom of the ranking in terms of the ratio of wages to the cost of a fixed set of goods and services. Low purchasing power is noted in Nalchik, Grozny, Taganrog, Vladikavkaz, Elista, Stavropol, Cherkessk, Makhachkala, and Maykop.
