That's what were the price of Old Masters in 1907!

[DSF]

If you start from the price of bread, the price of 1 pound of white bread in Petrograd in 1907 was 4.2 kopecks. So for 100 rubles could buy 2380 loaves. If you currently take a minimum of 400 grams = 13 rubles., Then it means those 100 rubles. equal to 30940 rubles. now. Although I do not know how justified such a comparison. Here's another: daily wage mason 1.39 p. .. 100 rub. a 72-day work of a mason. How now receives a mason?

How now receiving a mason?

A current example, has just visited a relative, a mason. He told me, laying a single brick is equal to the price of bricks or a ruble or two less, as a contract.

Performing some simple calculations according to the DSF, now it should cost 1 547 000 rubles, or 44 607 dollars on today's rate.

The total amount appropriated for the acquisition - 15000 p =4 641 000 rubles. = 133 823 USD

I do not argue. Maybe I am wrong considered. Try to count you, still it is interesting. If for some data today and the Soviet prices vary a thousand times, then taking into account all monetary reforms and the change of currency, the sum must come out the other. We must ask the count of any professional not to speculate on the coffee grounds.

Now imagine that a big and good work of professional artist was estimated in 1972 to 1200-1500 rubles. That was 10 times greater than the average standard of wages, then the sum of one and a half million rubles at the time did not seem to be fantastic?

dedulya37 agrees to 1972goda amount of half a million rubles fantastic, interesting, what now?
if you imagine that you go to the studio to the artist, you see a new picture, still smelling of fresh paint, the artist asks "how-much" and he answers "1mln.dollarov (although our oligarchs that price probably does not ubesh).

Very simple.
Technically - it is necessary to multiply by ten and get a formal sum in euros.

Just imagine that people were poorer then than now, so psychologically we must multiply by another two.
