Norge is social protected and pretty prospering country.
Unfortunately you are a bit misinformed or a victim of stereotypes.
I may not say for entire Russia, but frankly speaking an average Moscow resident (native, not newcomer) has a comparable life livel with an average Norwegian.
Unfortunately incredible high real estate prices (I own apartments near the city center preced over $1 mill - sounds horrible I know but it is true) dont let many people to have their own houses in suburbs. Food is extremely expensive in Moscow too. That shitty facts let Moscow take 1st place in the world as the most expensive city to live.

That is why I was a bit confused when I saw a lot of whining posts from US games about high PS3 price. In Moscow PS3 initially cost $910, then dropped to $740 for a 60GB SKU. The cheapest price I saw now is $660 for 40Gb SKU. It is appoximetely $100 higher then in the UK.
The same shit is about X360 too
