RUSSIA-ECONOMY-CONSUMER
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY GERMAIN MOYON
A man looks at speakers in a mall in central Moscow on December 15, 2014. Russians are feeling the pinch from the slumping ruble, but one somewhat paradoxical result has been to unleash a spending spree as consumers snap up electronics, furniture and cars before prices soar. In general, Russians' spending power has gone down with the ruble -- which this week hit a record low against the dollar and has lost more than half of its value against the euro due to falling oil prices and Western sanctions over Ukraine. In addition, inflation is forecast to soon climb above 11 percent. AFP PHOTO/KIRILL KUDRYAVTSEV
