Russias taxes;
As of 2016 tax in Russia is payable at the rate of 13% for an individual on most income. (non-residents 30%). Russian residents pay 9% on dividend income. (Deduction at source).
Probably the oligarchs do not pay anything though.

The median household income is $23,000 but Russians have free healthcare and education, and most Russians own their homes outright so have no rent or mortgage to pay, which accounts for 3050% of expenditures for many Americans. In addition, many Russians have organic gardens which produce a share of their food supply. The mortgage debt burden of the average Russian is $415.
