Russia ranked first in Europe for gas availability.

The average Russian can buy 10 cubic meters of natural gas with their salary. This means Russia ranks first in Europe for gas accessibility.

This is evidenced data Center for Economic Research "RIA Rating".

The study's authors calculated how much gas residents of various European countries could buy with their average monthly salary. They placed Russia first. According to the researchers, our country's rise to the top is explained by a significant increase in citizens' earnings.

The creators of the rating further state:

Kazakhstan took second place with 9,7 thousand cubic meters.

The remaining spots in the top five went to Belarus, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom. In these countries, the average salary can buy more than 4,5 cubic meters of gas.

Moldova occupies the last line of the ranking.

According to researchers, the average price of gas for the Russian population is 9,1 rubles per cubic meter. A simple calculation shows that, according to RIA Rating, Russians earn an average of 91 rubles per month.

If we compare these figures with Rosstat data, they actually appear to be understated. The country's main statistical agency claims that the average salary in our country was 103,6 rubles in January, and 103,9 in February.

It's likely that many Russians, having become familiar with these statistics, are seriously considering moving to Russia.

Yes, in Leningradskaya, first you pay 500000 for the gas supply to the site, then a couple of hundred thousand for the equipment and installation, adjustments and live with gas, but where to get it for this?

In the Saratov region, gas is available almost everywhere

I already wrote here that I threw out my gas stove and bought an electric one. Now I'll have to carry around the cylinders in my old age.

[Alexander_K]

There's no gas in Vladivostok; more accurately, it was connected in 2012, not for the population, but for sale to China. We're promised gas by 2030, but that's not certain. Overall, the level of gasification in Russia is low. Generally, gasoline and lumber are expensive, even though these are natural resources supposedly owned by the people, yet they pay as if they were all imported.

[your vsr 66-67]

More precisely, it was launched in 2012, but not for the population, but for sale to China.

That's how we live!
Everything is better, everything is richer!

[Cool90]

In 2024, Vladivostok GRS-2 began operating, supplying gas to the boiler house of the Okean All-Russian Children's Center, the Fetisov Arena sports complex, suburban heat sources, industrial enterprises, and more than 2 households.

According to information as of March 2025, the Vladivostok gasification program is designed to last until 2036.
vladivostok1.ru
In 2026, they plan to build gas pipelines on nine streets in Vladivostok and connect homes to gas:
vladivostok1.ru
Fortovaya;
Raevskaya; Lesnaya; Przhevalsky; Dezhnev; Laptev; Kurilskaya;
Bureinskaya; Rodnikovy Lane.
vladivostok1.ru
Work is also underway to design gas pipelines in the Nadezhdinsky District so that the villages of Prokhladnoye, Novy, Zima Yuzhnaya, and Shmidtovka will receive gas by 2027.

The level of gasification in Russia has reached 75% on average - if this is low
What can you say about the gasification level of gas-producing Norway, which is about 0,2%.
In Germany, the gasification rate is 47%, in France – 38%, in Spain – 32%.
At the same time, in Finland and Sweden, with a climate similar to Russia, it is 3%, 1%

Natural resources belong to those who extract them, having previously paid for their development

[Alexander_K]

Twelve years have passed from 2012 to 2024! All of the above-mentioned facilities are located in the suburbs, and they usually also list a partially gasified power plant within the city limits. The claim of 2,000 households is a lame joke. In reality, only a few houses have been connected to the grid to meet the schedule. And this was only since 2012, when the city was connected to the gas grid. I don't even want to talk about promises and plans; only incorrigible optimists believe them now, to put it mildly. Similarly, with percentages, statistics are so easily manipulated that they can be adjusted to fit any number. The ownership of natural resources is a debatable assertion.

[Cool90]

Statistics can be adjusted. For example, I was sure that the entire Saratov region was gasified, but it turns out that only 75% is.

Well, these are just your words, the words of who knows who, I don't believe you.

[Zyablicev43]

Why didn't they know? Everyone knew... 262 rubles per cubic meter of butane-propane. There's a giant pipeline nearby to China, but we can't get anything from there; they bring petroleum gas from the refinery in tankers. That's the Far East, baby...

And you won’t feel it; to feel it, you just have to drive (fly) over the Krasnoyarsk region and understand that ALL of Europe is not much bigger than the Krasnoyarsk region, but the population of the EU is 200 times larger.
Therefore, if we tried to supply gas to all the populated areas of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, there wouldn't be enough pipes on Earth.

Our mentality is to be constantly dissatisfied with everything. For our people to be happy, we must constantly lower prices; otherwise, even stagnation won't do us any good. I agree that officials steal like crazy, and knowing all this, people, even those living relatively well, feel like paupers. However, put any dissatisfied official in a position of power, and there's a 99% chance they'll steal as well.

[bk316]

Our mentality is to always be dissatisfied with everything.

It is present.
But that's not all, there are many factors that cause such noise.
Sometimes the grumbling is fair, sometimes not.

Demanding that gas be supplied to every winter hut AT THE STATE'S EXPENSE is nonsense.
Demanding reasonable government prices for gas supply is right.

The gas situation is generally clear; the local kingpins have firmly established themselves in the last mile and are making a living from it. Where Gazprom subsidiaries are connecting, there are no problems.

But in the Krasnoyarsk region and Moldova there is plenty of firewood.

[Cool90]

We in the Saratov region feel this; in my opinion, gas is everywhere, but the official level of gasification is 75%.

[LASVEGAS]

The Turkmens are lucky they're not in Europe and didn't make the list, as they can't buy any gas at all due to the lack of a price for gas for the population.

[Uncle Sam_2]

The top five leaders were Belarus, Luxembourg and Great Britain.

But the small-shaven ones are unnecessary in this list! IMHO, it is necessary to suppliers raise their prices...

In Turkmenistan, for the first time in 20 years, the tariff for natural gas for the population has been increased.

Anna Kurbanova
01 February 2014, 14: 07
ASHGABAT, February 1. /ITAR-TASS Correspondent Anna Kurbanova/. Effective February 1, the price of natural gas consumed in excess of the limits provided free to the population since 1993 has increased tenfold to 20 manat (approximately $8) per 1000 cubic meters, including value-added tax. Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov issued the corresponding decree "to ensure the rational use of natural gas by the population and streamline payments for natural gas," the document states.

Utility benefits—free gas, electricity, and water—were introduced in 1993 by Turkmenistan's first president, Saparmurat Niyazov (1991-2006), initially for 10 years, then extended until 2030. In his second year in office, in 2008, the current president introduced coupons for free gasoline—120 liters per month for every car owner.

Turkmenistan is a very specific country - far removed from the rest of Central Asia.
I served my military service there, and then I crossed paths with them a lot at work.

I was looking at the railway from Kushka to Ashgabat on Google. Where there was desert along the railway in 1988, now it’s practically nothing but rooftops of private houses.

[Boris Sergeev]

Incidentally, desert occupies almost 95% of Turkmenistan. Its natural resources include gas and cotton, which are sufficient to provide free utilities to the population. Meanwhile, in the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Economic Development (what does "development" have to do with this?!) has predicted another increase in utility costs, exceeding Nabiullina's "inflation rate."

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

I wouldn't even discuss Turkmenistan, it's not nearly as rosy and wonderful there.

[Boris Sergeev]

No one is presenting Turkmenistan as a paragon, but utilities, including gas, were free there for a long time. If one of the poorest republics of the Soviet Union could provide this, then why can't Russia, with its oil, gas, gold, timber, metals, and potash fertilizers? Apparently, it has to do with how revenues from the sale of natural resources are distributed.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Quote: Boris Sergeev

If one of the poorest republics of the Soviet Union could provide this

Firstly, it's an extremely incorrect comparison: the population is 7.7 million against 146 million in the Russian Federation.
Secondly, the overall population there is in such conditions that you wouldn't even want free gas

[Boris Sergeev]

Have you tried comparing the resource base in this case? Look at the map to see where the Karakum Desert is.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Well, then compare, as you put it, the resource base
And I don’t need to look at the map, I’m from the Kazakh SSR, and I had to visit Turkmenistan for work after the collapse

There was elderberry in the garden, and the conversation was about the "sweet" life in Turkmenistan.

[Boris Sergeev]

On the question of where Russian resources go:

V. Simchera:

According to Russia's recorded foreign trade turnover, in some years, more than $300 billion went unpaid in our imports and more than $500 billion in exports. Due to these criminal acts, the country's budget annually lost over $100 billion—an amount that was (and still is) several times greater than ALL other budget underpayments from all sources and causes combined. The total "cost of the issue" over the 10 years we observed exceeded $3 trillion. This is a world record.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Quote: Boris Sergeev

Apparently, the issue is how the revenues from the sale of natural resources are distributed.

Well, yes, only one can steal there.

[Boris Sergeev]

Ha-ha-ha! Very funny. I happened to be there a few times in the 2000s. Here's a photo from Ashgabat: the mortgage in these buildings is 1%, and for those with 10 years of government service (including teachers), 50% of the apartment's cost is covered by the state.

Name at least one Russian oligarch who suggests something similar.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

You weren't the only one who had to be there.
So don't confuse tourism with emigration.

[Boris Sergeev]

To the point, my dear, to the point! Personally, no one there offered me a 1% mortgage – they gave it to those who lived there.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

In fact, real unemployment is about 30 percent

[Boris Sergeev]

How do you know? No one will give you such statistics there. Perhaps only "personal impressions."

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Talk to the Turkmen who left there

[Uncle Sam_2]

According to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, Article 9, paragraph 2:
“Land and other natural resources may be in private, state, municipal and other forms of ownership.”

And here is the Federal Law “On Subsoil” (Articles 1-2):
"Subsoil resources within the Russian Federation, including underground space and the minerals, energy, and other resources contained therein, are state property. Matters of ownership, use, and disposal of subsoil resources are under the joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and the constituent entities of the Russian Federation."

Article 5 of the Law "On Subsoil" states that citizens who own, use, or lease land plots are granted the right to extract common minerals on their assigned land plots to a depth of up to 5 meters and to drill wells to obtain groundwater to the first aquifer.

This is how things are with the subsoil in the new Russia - the law doesn't say a word about the subsoil belonging to the people...

[your1970]

Quote: Boris Sergeev

Apparently, the issue is how the revenues from the sale of natural resources are distributed.

Turkmenbashi introduced the "Hero of Turkmenistan" order and introduced a monthly salary of $15,000 for Heroes.
After which he awarded his mother with the order - "For giving birth to him - the Father of all Turkmens."
And then, due to the fact that my mother died 34 years before this, as the heir I received the Hero’s entire allowance for 34 years.
A small thing, but nice...
Nabiullina is a small thing compared to Turkmenistan, I don’t know about him now, but under Turkmenbashi, those who barked were simply taken out into the desert.
For good....

[Boris Sergeev]

Turkmenbashi made utilities, including gas, free for the population. His other "artful acts" don't diminish this achievement.

If you think Nabiullina and Co. are a "petty trifle" compared to Niyazov, then check out V. Simchera's question to the president, which Putin didn't answer.

First question

According to Russia's recorded foreign trade turnover, in some years, over $300 billion in imports and over $500 billion in exports were "under the table." Due to these criminal acts, the country's budget was losing over $100 billion annually—an amount that was (and still is) several times greater than ALL other budget underpayments from all sources and causes combined. The total "cost of the issue" over the 10 years we observed exceeded $3 trillion. This is a world record, which—with all the bureaucratic caveats and mitigations, of course—was confirmed by the State Duma, the Accounts Chamber, the Russian Academy of Sciences, and other bodies. Why haven't effective measures been taken to stop this "theft of the millennium"? And will they be taken at all?

[alexbor]

Apparently, it has to do with how the revenues from the sale of natural resources are distributed.

We have a larger rural population, and the increase in gasification indicates an improvement in the standard of living. After all, gas is more convenient than wood and coal.

the cost of 10 kW/h of electricity will be 37,9 rubles
That is, the cost of obtaining the SAME THING using a gas boiler will cost you 7,675 times less than using electricity.
I hope you won't write any more nonsense about gas being more expensive than electricity.
Now about the rating
it is extremely incorrect for many reasons
First, you CANNOT single out just one item, except for buying gas, you buy food, clothes, various services
Secondly, I don't know what they take into account when calculating the average salary in Europe, but here it's definitely extremely inaccurate.
Thirdly, when calculating the average salary, it is necessary to take into account what percentage of the population falls into this zone
fourth, you need to consider the AVAILABILITY of receiving the service
fifth, you need to take into account the VOLUME of gas consumption, since the climatic conditions are completely different
Based on all these parameters, it is safe to say that the rating is absolutely not indicative.

p/s/ and still, how old are you and what do you do for a living?

[Cool90]

The rating given in the article is correct, and gas in Russia is the most affordable
It's colder in Russia than in Europe, but gas is still more affordable in Russia.

In Norway, as you say, it's cheaper to heat with electricity, but electricity costs 25 rubles. How much does gas cost there then, if even with such expensive electricity it's cheaper?

As of 2022, almost a quarter of Norway's housing stock was heated with wood.
m.big-radio.ru
According to expert Lars Mitting, published in the book "Norwegian Wood", in oil-rich Norway, 25% of the energy used to heat homes comes from wood.

Quote: Kull90

The cost of electricity in Norway reached 25,46 rubles.

Do you even understand anything about economics?

[Cool90]

So judging by your comments, you clearly don't understand economics.

and everything in the article is correct from a mathematical point of view

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

According to RIA Rating, Russians earn an average of 91 thousand rubles per month.

This is the average of the series: one eats meat, nine two eat cabbage, and on average they eat cabbage rolls.
In our region, people over 40 thousand commute 30-60 km to work, depending on your luck.

[Cool90]

This is how it was calculated in other countries too, so the rating is correct.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Before writing this, study the level of financial stratification in society in different countries.

[Cool90]

The average salary is calculated the same in all countries. Before writing, study how the average salary is calculated.

According to the Federal Reserve, as of the first quarter of 2024, the richest 1% of households in the United States owned 30,5% of the country's wealth, while the bottom 50% owned only 2,5%.

According to European Central Bank (ECB) data for the first quarter of 2025, Europe faces significant wealth inequality. The wealthiest 5% of households account for 44,5% of total wealth, while half the population owns only 5% of all assets.

the share of the 10% most affluent population of the Russian Federation in 2025 was 30,8% of the total volume of cash income - 0,5 percentage points more than in 2024;
the share of the 10% of the least well-off population is 2%

It turns out that in Europe and the US the stratification is greater

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Quote: Kull90

The average salary is calculated the same in all countries. Before writing, study how the average salary is calculated.

The issue isn't about the average salary, but about stratification. The average salary is considered the same everywhere. I know this as well as you, because I graduated from a physics and mathematics school.

Take another look at the country stratification statistics
Such ratings are stupid in themselves, for the simple reason that you can't compare just one position; there are still a lot of variables that also influence each other.

Quote: Kull90

It turns out that in Europe and the US the stratification is greater

It's absolutely impossible. Study the topic and also the distribution of countries by Gini coefficient.

[Cool90]

It turns out that 1% of the US owns 30%
5% in Europe owns 44%
10% in Russia owns 30%

This means that the stratification in the US and Europe is higher.

[andranick]

The average Russian can buy 10 cubic meters of natural gas with their salary. This means Russia ranks first in Europe for gas accessibility.
This is evidenced by data from the RIA Rating Center for Economic Research.

That's it, you don't need to read the rest of the news...

[Cool90]

Why not read it? It's all true.

[alanery]

A house in a village got a free gas line, Leningrad Region, Volosovsky District. We received a subsidy for the connection to the property. Everything is great! But the gas company won't approve the boiler room. The window is too small! It should be a full-length window without double-glazing, to heat the street. That's how we ended our relationship with the gas company. The gas pipe is still sticking out of the ground next to the house. That's the extent of gasification, Russian style... :-)

[Skobaristan]

Standards and building codes are all nonsense. And really, why all this? But... No.

[alanery]

I don't have the money to rebuild the house. That's why...

Safety standards haven't changed since the 1990s—I worked as a gasification technician back then. Ceiling height, room size, exhaust hood, window, outward-opening door—the basics...

[alanery]

In another area of ​​Leningrad Oblast (I won't reveal anything), a friend's boiler room has no window at all. We got approval for it without any problems. There's no door either, because the new wooden house is settling.

Being proud of the availability and cheapness of gas in Russia is like a Frenchman saying that their oysters are ten times cheaper than ours (and this, by the way, is true...)

Is this really sarcasm...!?

To consume these 10,000 cubic meters of gas, you need to connect it to your house. But that would be prohibitively expensive, even though the gas line to your house is free.

Gas arrived in our area, in the south of the Voronezh region, in the 2000s; I don't remember the exact date. For laying a pipeline along the street— the residents themselves paidI remember it wasn't cheap at all. Maybe they even give free rides to the fence now, I don't know, but in the beginning, it was a paid service, at least for us.

In 2024, free up to the plot line. And then the project into the house. About 400-500K.

[alex007i]

The average Russian can buy 10 cubic meters of natural gas with their salary...

Is this true!?

And the commission is 150 rubles per receipt.
at Sberbank, if you pay in cash!?
While with a commission-free application, which (the application) is not
works from the word at all, in view of the fact that,
what 2G.
А mythical technical maintenance, 200 rubles per month!?

National treasure.
You've lost your coast, you shameless skinners!

[Cool90]

That's about right, actually

[noWAR]

So where is Belarus then? In -1st place?

[oleg_627]

Holy shit. It's the richest country in the world in terms of gas and barely outpaces European countries that don't even have gas. And if you look at Siberia, there, too, we don't have gas; they burn coal. They're just pulling the wool over people's eyes again.

[Cool90]

There is gas in Norway, but gasification is 0,2%

[Andrey Petrov]

This is the most stupid news. Compare it to Europe, which doesn't have its own gas, while Russia does. It should be like Turkmenistan. Free.

[Severok]

For some reason, I find it funny. It's like with economic growth in industry: industrial production is "growing," yet the auto industry has switched to a four-day workweek, domestic civil aviation aircraft have been built in incredible quantities, so much so that the Yakut authorities are negotiating with China about purchasing an An-24 equivalent... and so on and so forth.
