That is like working for peanuts. 36 Russian grand is less than 500 dollars per month. In Moscow, It would merely be enough to rent a room in a crib in a shitty, ghetto-like suburban area and to pay off your groceries expenditure. So, with such a salary, you can forget about a fancy lifestyle. On average, Personal assistants are bound to count on a salary of 1200 per month in case If they qualify for the job and this works for people living in large cities like Moscow or St.Petersburg.
Regarding rural areas, I would say that no life exists there, since all provincials one way or another work in the aforementioned large cities. There is an abnormal social and economical disparity between townees and provincial folk.
