In part this has to do with price levels which in some countries are 
artifical and government controlled/subsidized. Just one example: 
Roughly 15 years ago the price for a good bottle of Whiskey in the US or 
Western Europe was $15. Someone who came back from a business trip to 
Russia offered Vodka from there. It was excellent and he said that it 
was considered a very good brand over there. Asked what he had paid for 
the bottle: "About 50 cents". That blew me away.
