Later, in that same article Yuri states that his friend, a famous neurosurgeon in today's Russia received a monthly salary of 150 rubles. Or, one third of the average bus driver's salary. I'm not sure if he is referencing a western bus driver or a direct comparison to a soviet bus driver, either way, the pay is amazing low.
