Barmagl0t week - Russian blog at italki

My name's Pavel and I started a new column about Russia written by ordinary marketer from Moscow. I hope it will help you to understand Russia and I hope you will help me to improve my English. Please, correct my mistakes!

On September, 22nd sales of the iPhone 4 started in Russia. In Canada you can buy the 32Gb version for 657 Euro, but the price in Russia is 878 Euro. By the way, the average salary in Russia is 715 Euro. Despite of Maslow's hierarchy of needs some students and workers save money on food and entertainment just to buy the IPhone 4.

Two weeks ago I bought "Avoska". It's a traditional Russian string bag. It was popular in USSR when you didn't have secrets from other people and it was necessary to show what you bought to everyone. Now it starts again as eco-bag. Actually, there isn't any ecological activity in Russia - the country is big and we can litter, but it's better to start to recycle and use eco-friendly products. By the way - Avoska is a handmade by the Russian Society of Blind People. It is an another Russian tradition - all low-tech goods in USSR were made by blind people. And now only they have expertise in string bag production.

Wow!  I didn't know those things.  Thanks.  My brother is blind.  I hope this helped you.
