I’d like to use this chart again.
It shows a big difference in the average life expectancy in Russia (blue) and the U.S.A. (red).
Unfortunately, not in Russia’s favor!
As with the Reitz family in Iowa, I decided to follow life of one Russian family and to compile a chart.
I believe that this information is representative.
Name | Residence | Age | Pension (monthly) | Number of Children | Way of Life |
Maria Petrovna Vasina | Kirov | 4 000 Roubles | Rarely gets of the house because of poor health. Children don’t visit her too often, because they live in another city. |
