Ivan: Philosophy Student

This university student was eating some street food with two mates. I asked him if he cared about the ruble volatility. He said the ruble volatility didn’t interest him as he doesn’t have a source of income. His parents are state workers and he doesn’t think it interests them either. He heard that the ruble drop could lead to higher inflation next year, which is a bit worrisome. He said he is majoring in philosophy because he is interested in such questions as what is man and understanding the world around him.
