I just asked my Russian friend how much do they pay for heating. He said he has no idea about his own place but has a bill for a small 31m2 rental he has and it was 1290 rub per month (charged year round). Average UK house is 1582 sq ft i.e. 4.74x bigger so would be 6226 rub or 86.93 GBP per month or 1043 per year. Meaning, the Brits are now paying only 1.86x as much (1940 GBP annually) and are about to pay about 3.3x as much (3500 GBP), meaning heating currently takes a smaller part of their incomes (UK nominal GDP per capita is over 3x Russian) and are about to pay about as much. Is it really that much to be concerned with? I haven't heard about anyone complaining on their heating bill in Russia.
