.Soviet union never cared about any environmentalism: remember Chernobyl so Russia is devastated environmentally.
Russia with its ruble is a joke

Katostrofy in Japan several times was more Chernobyl.

Not that it matters but here's a nice article concerning avarage salary and expenses in awfully wealthy Russia.
http://www.itar-tass.com/en/c39/266542.html

Meanwhile, according to the statistics service Rosstat, in September the average monthly salary of Russians amounted to 23.6 thousand rubles, and incomes per capita, to 20.1 thousand. According to sociologists, more than half of Russia's population (53%) have enough money only for food, clothing and utilities. Then one has to choose: leisure and entertainment or something more or less substantial. For both people will have to save for a long time. Really expensive purchases, which include housing in the first place, are affordable to less than 1% of Russians.

ITAR-TASS : Average wage in Russia barely enough to survive

Meanwhile, according to the statistics service Rosstat, in September the average monthly salary of Russians amounted to 23.6 thousand rubles, and incomes per capita, to 20.1 thousand.

This is how most people I know live. Nothing has changed since the Soviet era--there is very little discretionary income. One friend is in academia, and she's able to save annually for a round-trip air ticket from Khabarovsk to her home republic of Buryatia, to visit relatives. That's her big treat for the year. Another friend was able to buy her own home (Kamchatka has a lot of cottages on one side of town), but I think this is probably because she regularly participated in research projects with Americans that were funded by grants, so she had an outside income source in addition to her Academy of Sciences salary. I have friends who have no health insurance, because they work for non-profit organizations. They're dependent on charity if they get seriously ill; if they're lucky, someone in authority will give them some cash to pay for an x-ray, or whatever they need.

Wait, before any of you will say another word - look at the date of the article.
It's all anti-Putin pre-election propaganda.
There.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,What do you think affordable housing? 1 percent? 1 percent of that, out of a population of Russia? You know how many businessmen in Russia? How many millionaires? How much housing is available in the U.S. or Europe? so there is no need tsyfry ridiculous. People are different everywhere and income as well, and they depend on many factors. As well as accommodation, in some cities, it is very cheap or expensive the contrary. as elsewhere.
