- <p>For the most part, you'll be shopping in Moscow and St. Petersburg in stores which
- operate the same way they do in the US. However, there may be times when you'll stop
- in at a Russian store which still uses an older, and at times frustrating,
- multi-step system of purchasing and payment:</p>
- <div class="orderedlist">
- <ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
- <li class="listitem"><p>Decide what it is you wish to purchase. Ask the
- price.</p></li>
- <li class="listitem"><p>The salesperson will give you а <span class="bold"
- ><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em
- xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
- >чек</em></span></strong></span> and ask you to pay at the <span
- class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em
- xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
- >ка́сса</em></span></strong></span>. While you are doing that,
- he/she will be wrapping up your purchase.</p></li>
- <li class="listitem"><p>After paying, you will return to the salesperson with
- either a receipt showing payment, or your original <span class="bold"
- ><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em
- xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
- >чек</em></span></strong></span> stamped, which you'll hand over
- in exchange for your purchase.</p></li>
- </ol>
- </div>
- <p>Russian law now stipulates that there is one currency for the entire country and that
- is the <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em
- xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
- >рубль</em></span></strong></span> which is divided into 100 <span class="bold"
- ><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru"
- class="foreignphrase">копе́йка</em></span></strong></span>. Because
- of inflation however, <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru"
- class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
- >копе́йки</em></span></strong></span> have disappeared. In spite of
- this law, you will still be able to make purchases in many stores (especially those
- which are foreign-owned) using <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru"
- class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">СКВ
- свобо́дно конверти́руемая валю́та</em></span></strong></span> freely
- convertible currency (dollars, marks, francs and pounds sterling). Major credit
- cards are readily accepted in many locations in Moscow and St. Petersburg, more
- rarely in other large cities, and almost never in the smaller ones.</p>
- <p>Think big when you think of prices in Russia! When writing these large numbers,
- Russians use а <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
- ><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
- >то́чка</em></span></strong></span> period to indicate the decimal point rather
- than а <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em
- xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"
- >запята́я</em></span></strong></span> comma.</p>
- <p>For example:</p>
- <p>12.000 <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru"
- class="foreignphrase">руб.</em></span>= 12,000 rubles</p>
- <p>7,5<span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">
- руб.</em></span> = 7.50 rubles (7 rubles and 50 kopecks)</p>
