What do you mean? In Russia? Not really, it isn't that bad. But if you look at the statistics, there are a lot of economical problems. For example, there are more than 15% of population that have income lower than so-called Living wage.
Anyway, I do not want to reduce the topic of this game to politics, and to show the failures of specific countries or people.
