Life Under Sanctions in Provincial Russia

Provincial Russia is notorious for low income, bad roads, excessive drinking, gopniks and many more stereotypes. Potentially economic sanctions against Russia could make life of people even worse, with only 250$ of monthly state pension and increasing prices, how can the majority of Russian population survive?
This time I tried to show Russia from a probably unknown for you angle, spending 3 days in provincial city of Engels to share life I saw with my own eyes.
