Money question

[Ksenia Adamovitch]

Here are some salary tables: http://istmat.info/node/18454 and
http://opoccuu.com/wages.htm
Average monthly salary for 1950 is roughly 600 rubles, so that would make
both of these authors extremely well-paid.
I would actually say extraordinarily so.

Best,
Ksenia
