The CPI grew by 2.7% in September. It was 6.5% in Russia for August 2013. I think 6.5 is higher than 2.7.:)

Is Russia part of Europe?
Yes.

Is Russia part of Europe?
For Eurovision and football purposes yes.
Actually it is part of both Europe and Asia. So I suppose it can align itself with whichever continent has the most booming economy, in which case I suppose it classes itself as Asian at the moment.0 -

Comparing inflation to different countries is all a bit pointless.
They have different components to their calculations due to the items in that countries basket.
... I believe Vodka and bribes are both large part of the basket and they have both gone up drastically, to the point that everyone there is talking about 'bubbles'. [Or is it boom. I've forgotten].0 -
Hmm - nice choice of stats - I prefer year to date growth against a European comparison....

This is like comparing Apple PC's to bananas. Pointless to anyone but the most ardent fanatical HPC goon blindly attempting to manipulate stars to for their own narrow vile agenda.0
