5. Have food prices in the US increased by 30% in the last two weeks?

That seems at least somewhat different from what's happening here.

6. Not that quickly but yes in the last year. nt

8. Well, there is quite a difference then.

A two-week inflation rate of 30% seems catastrophic. A rise like that over the course of a year, while also a major problem, not nearly so.

If the Russian rate continues we might be looking at Weimar levels of hyper-inflation.

9. I wonder how many rubles the average Russian makes

10. According to the Google I just did on this question

the average Russian worker makes 104,000 rubles per month.
