Soviet Worker’s Burden Under Price Rise and Wages Freeze
A United States study portrays a Soviet laborer barely affording essentials as prices soar 180 percent while wages rise 25 percent. With monthly earnings about 500 rubles for the worker and 400 rubles for his wife, a three child family struggles to buy food, clothing, and fuel. The report notes inflation, rationed meat, bread costs, and limited living standards, with hope for only more food from harvest and no wage gains due to the five year plan.
