Vitaly Shmalenyuk: "Greetings to Rosstat"

“I’ll post my data on real FMCG inflation. At the end of January 2015, I photographed prices in Auchan for about 150 food products and 50 household goods (household chemicals, etc.). I did not intend to become a national statistician, I collected for certain personal purposes, therefore did not fix prices for perishable products.

After a year of the devaluation rally, the statistics came in handy; yesterday I came to Auchan again and found the same products. The assortment has changed significantly; as a result, we were able to compare prices for 21 household goods and 84 food products.”
