Russian TYPICAL Supermarket 1000 km from Moscow

For people who ask themselves the question "why so few customers?" I answer: there are a lot of such stores, literally next door. Also now almost everyone orders delivery, it is almost always free and fast. Specifically, this chain of stores delivers half an hour to the door, free from about $5. People like to go to big stores on weekends to buy a lot, and this is a small store near the house, to stop by on the way from work when you need to get groceries that quickly run out (milk, eggs, bread)

No country in the world could exist with such sanctions and in the conditions in which Russia is now growing and even developing.

It is really remarkable that there is so full shelf’s that there has been nobody to shop there and taken some of the goods. I don’t believe this has been done as a completely independent video. This smells so much of planned recording.

Киров хороший город. А во Владивостоке Рассел еще не был?

В Украинском супермаркете картошка стоит 28 грн это почти 70 р морковка 26 грн. буряк 20 грн. Капуста белокачанная 40 грн это 95 р за 1 кг.

Why is there almost nobody in the shop ?

You mast go to the store not beeing hangry with the list what did you want to buy.

Interesting video, products and prices seem similar to those in Belarus where I have been living for 4 years. Production and prices are such now in the Russian world that no one can die of cold or hunger there. And security is always permanent. Here in Belarus a foreigner is expelled after 3 incivilities and any act of willful violence is automatically punished by one year in prison before final judgment. The prison system is recommended for people who are trying to lose weight. In Belarusian grocery stores the staff is friendly, it is a pleasure to shop, I guess it is the same in Russia 🙂

It is empty and all’ the food stay on the shelves!

It Will get fail!

Seaweed is for Vietnam .

Looks good.

There aren't many cars in the parking lot.

looks gorgeous.

Armagnac has nothing to do with Armenia; it's a famous alcohol of wine prduced in the south west of France.

This is a completely empty supermarket, because of skyrocketing inflation!

Albert Hein in the Netherlands.

Спасибо, Рассел. Когда смотрю Вас, начинаю замечать хорошее в привычном, это делает меня счастливее.

In Russia, these are shops for the poor. The simplest.

Do you really think Armagnac has anything to do with Armenia? I think Armagnac is a spirit from the south of France.
Otherwise a very informative video.

Self surives every were now hate it

Yep but not the normal person can afford a cucumber. I know the truth I live there. Load of bollocks

Government working hard to reduce the prices that’s a laugh I think you need to wake up and see the real people. How much can my gran buy on 200 USD per month

Shelves filled only for the video?I dont see any buyers ???

The first thing I noticed is that all the shelves are stocked and organized. It's like a picture from television or a magazine. That is almost impossible to do in any supermarket near me in the US. I'll take a guess that the supermarket chain is so large that it can tolerate stores that are less profitable, and this might be one of them. In my area we had several chain grocery businesses close their smaller stores over the past several years. They just didn't have the profit margin.

Russia at this moment in time has very low unemployment, not only is most of the available workforce employed. they are employed across all age brackets. Makes me think a Russian supermarket chain like this one, may soon behave like their American counterparts, and close less profitable stores.

Forcing supermarkets to have low prices will be a big failure for the supermarkets and for the public. Why ? - because the price of products is tool that operates as a way of determining comparative cost of production of goods. Without the free movement of prices which reflect the real costs over the whole of the economy of products there is chaos and distortion which results in gross misallocation of resources.
What Russia has done is failed to recognise the reality of this.

Russell your comments about prices and shows you understanding of pricing and marketing is appalling !.

Supermarket = No-customer-market 🫢

Are those prices low for locals?

there are no customers even though there is something on offer🤔 that's right, because a normal citizen can't afford it. Even potatoes are too expensive🤣 more wars, even the rich can't afford to go there🤗 reason and democracy have never arrived in Russia and the people are suffering

Its called waze tiles russell.

Be aware of sanctioned aeroplanes and trains....

We have self service checkouts for everything at morrison's & tesco in the UK... and both those stores have the costa coffe machines (I'm not a big costa coffee fan myself)

Well done.

where are customers?

Haiseeko kaalisoppa?

Hyllyt täpötäynnä tätä Potemkinin kulissia varten. Joitakin asiakkaita (näyttelijöitä) pyörii mutta kenelläkään ei ole ostoskärryt täynnä, kuten joulun alla kaikilla Lännessä.

Miksi kukaan ei ole ostanut mitään?

Potemkin

Potemkin in Moscow, no customer in the showroom.

Very interesting; how low can propaganda go.

Я был во многих городах на всей территории России, и Пятерочки с Магнитами заканчивают свое присутствие в Сибири, на сколько я помню. Если ехать дальше на восток, то будут только не сетевые супермаркеты, или супермаркеты локальных сетей, но они так же похожи на небольшие Пятерочки.

I remember time when people go a hundred километр is by the train into the moscow to buy food for week

Bloody deserted more staff than customers inflation obviously

average yearly salary in kirov is 6000usd. Personal and corporate tax rate going up next year to pay for "foreign adventures".

The thing that always amazes me is how neat and tidy and CLEAN everything is in Russia, whether it's out on the street, in the metro, inside shops, or buildings. I've fallen in love with this country and its culture from watching your videos!

I see that some people in the comments were surprised by such a simple thing as a lens next to a price verification device by barcode, you apparently do not fully understand why this is more than normal and expected for such a chain of stores. I would not say that it is a matter of an amazing idea and that this is the work of some bright mind, it is simply the result of constant work with clients and feedback from them, the Pyaterochka chain operates under a franchise - each store is someone's small business, and the owners of the chain strictly check the standards, marketers work on the correct placement of product groups, product placement maps with their shares on the shelves are calculated depending on customer demand in order to use the space of the stores as efficiently as possible, they have their own very effectively built logistics chains throughout the vast country, many local manufacturers of goods are used in each region. On the other side of the business, these stores have done a lot of work, this is what allowed the chain to become so big and have stores on every corner across the country, it is a very well-built company, with a turnover of $24.43 billion USD per year, part of the largest retail conglomerate in the country that owns a couple of other large retail chains, a lens on a string, this is simply a pattern of a reasonable approach to doing business.
