100 years ago, about 94 million people lived in the current borders of the Russian Federation (the Russian Federation) (the whole empire numbered about 174 million people, occupying the third place after the British Empire and China). Now the Russian Federation, having grown to 143.2 million people, is already the 9th largest in the world in terms of population. Here we even grew. But in the territory lost: 3,336,935 sq.km.In 1913, the gross grain harvest in Russia was 92.5 million tons. The Russian empire gave half of the world's rye crop, took the second place in the world in terms of wheat yield. And last year we collected only 71 million tons. If a hundred years ago, Russia was on the first place among grain exporters, now it is only on the fourth, having passed ahead of the USA, Canada and Australia. In 1913, almost a thousand kilometers of railways were built in Russia. Today in our statistics there is no such indicator.The rate of the Nikolayev ruble was tied to the value of a troy ounce of gold. If we compare it with today's gold price, then it turns out that one tsar's ruble equals approximately 1300 of ours. The same Khrushchev as a beginner locksmith on our money would receive 52 thousand rubles. Of course, salaries in 1913, like today, were different - both by profession and by region. The average annual salary of a worker in tsarist Russia in 1913 was 320 rubles. Or 34 700 rubles a month for modern money.

Hello Ms B. Lattimer.

I want to work in your cafe in the evenings because I need to pay for my university studies.

I have to notice that I speak English fluently so we will not have problems with it. I used to work in the KFC couple years ago and I still remember how to communicate well with customers. And if you want to know, «a willingness to work hard» is my everyday motto because we will not be able to achive anything without working hard!

Hope you'll choose me for this position.

Best wishes,
