The standard Russian Academy of Sciences salary for things like
the Institute of Agricultural Biotechnology is < $100 /month.
Usually people get several positions where they only work part
of the day to make ends meet. A "good" middle-class job in
a Russian company you would probably make $200-$500/month.
Working for a Western company: $500-1000 a month. A few
people get highly paid. I've heard of really good programmers
pulling down 50-75% of their Western counterparts but those
are exceptional cases. I'd suspect that most of your rocket
factory workers are making $100-$200/month.
