Pavel, a university lecturer with a wife and two children, is looking to buy furniture for their apartment in Moscow. On the day the war started, he saw some prices increase by almost 30%. He bought a refrigerator, rice cooker, washing machine and kettle, and ordered beds and cabinets from Ikea just a day before closing. He doesn’t think prices in Ikea have changed. “They simply don’t have time to raise prices,” joked Pavel sadly.
