Read it in Russian

Russia was placed in the 65^th place in the UN development program’s rating of living standards published Nov 9. Norway has been announced the best country to live in, for the sixth time in the rating’s history.

Russia’s living standard is found in the rating between Libya and Macedonia.

Niger, for second time since the last year, has been found by the rating authors the least favorable place of human residence (177^th), Voice of Russia reported.

Such factors as real income per person, the level of healthcare, education, and average life expectancy are counted as criteria during the rating development.

Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somali are not included in the rating, since sufficient information on the living conditions of local residents are not currently available.
