Five basics stand between this country and zero
This older research pack has not yet received a direct five-part Money Gate audit. Its historical Reach/Friction evidence is compressed to a maximum transitional 4/20 so we do not invent free-access points that were never researched.
9% weightHuman Time & Burden Return
+44.5
Whether productivity, infrastructure and institutions return usable lifetime to people and families.
TBFC target: Necessary contribution should not require people to sell most of their waking life merely to retain access to food, shelter, care and ordinary family life.
Access-gate research question: How much paid work or income-producing activity is required before an ordinary household can keep access to basic life, and what usable family time remains afterward?
Abundance Gap: +15.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
Labour-market pressure is comparatively low: Rosstat reported ILO-method unemployment near historic lows in 2026, while the World Bank shows 2.1% unemployment for 2025. Rosstat reported Q3 2025 poverty at 6.5%. These are strengths, but household access still depends heavily on wages, transfers and prices; inflation was 8.7% in 2025.

8% weightHousing, Shelter & Housing Reach
+39.0
Whether adequate shelter physically exists and actually reaches people without excessive cost, exclusion or vacancy mismatch.
TBFC target: Adequate family shelter should remain reachable without lifetime dependence on rent, mortgage debt or ability to pay.
Access-gate research question: What share of ordinary shelter access depends on rent, mortgage debt, purchase price or other recurring payment, and what dependable non-market routes exist at national scale?
Abundance Gap: +25.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
Russia completed 108.1 million m² of housing and about 1.342 million dwellings in 2025. Rosstat also publishes national and regional housing-condition and housing-stock series through 2025. Large construction capacity is clear, but price, mortgage and regional service gaps mean output is not equivalent to universal affordable reach.

9% weightFood, Nourishment & Free Food Abundance
+50.3
Physical food and nutrient capacity, nourishment reach, waste/loss, public edible landscapes and free food access.
TBFC target: Nutritious food should exist in multiplying abundance and remain reachable even when a household has no money to spend.
Access-gate research question: Can people obtain adequate nutritious food when they cannot pay, and are free/public/productive-food routes large enough to be ordinary rather than exceptional?
Abundance Gap: +20.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
Russia has very large grain, oilseed, livestock and fisheries capacity. FAO reporting from Altai Krai alone cited 6.6 Mt of grain/legumes and 3.4 Mt of oilseeds in 2025. This is strong physical capacity rather than a national nutrition-access measure; household food access remains price- and logistics-mediated.

6% weightWater & Sanitation Abundance
+42.3
Safe water, sanitation, reliability, capture, reuse, storage and living-landscape water capacity.
TBFC target: Safe water and sanitation should be dependable life infrastructure, not conditional on household purchasing power.
Access-gate research question: Can households retain safe water and sanitation when income falls, and which payment, disconnection or infrastructure barriers interrupt access?
Abundance Gap: +25.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
Water resources are physically abundant, but safely managed household services are incomplete. World Bank/JMP reports safely managed sanitation at 58% of the population in 2024 and publishes a 2000–2024 safely managed drinking-water series. Rosstat housing-condition tables provide current 2025 amenity data, supporting a conservative score rather than an assumption of universal service.

5% weightEnergy & Household Capability
+61.0
Whether usable, reliable energy reaches households and removes burdens across water, food, health, cooling, cooking and movement.
TBFC target: Essential household energy should support cooking, cooling, water, food preservation and care without money becoming the switch that turns basic capability on or off.
Access-gate research question: Can households retain essential energy for cooking, cooling, water and food preservation when they cannot pay, and how often does price or disconnection reduce capability?
Abundance Gap: +5.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
Electricity access is effectively universal: World Bank reports 100% population access in 2024. Russia also has very large gas, nuclear, hydro and thermal generation systems. The score still discounts household tariff dependence, remote-settlement reliability and the fossil intensity of the system.
World Bank — Russian Federation data · Government of Russia — energy sector
7% weightHealth & Care Reach
+44.0
Whether prevention, primary care, medicine, maternity care, dentistry and specialist capability reach people when needed.
TBFC target: Prevention, maternity, dentistry, medicine and necessary treatment should be reachable because care is needed, not because payment can be produced.
Access-gate research question: Can necessary care be obtained because it is needed, or do price, insurance, employment, debt or other financial tests materially delay or prevent access?
Abundance Gap: +15.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
Russia has a nationwide public health system and large clinical infrastructure. Rosstat publishes Health Care in Russia 2025 and current health-system statistics; World Bank reports life expectancy of 73.44 years in 2024. The live pass did not secure a clean current national UHC financial-protection measure, so reach and friction are scored conservatively.

6% weightEducation & Human Capability
+59.0
Foundational learning plus practical, technical and enduring civilization capability retained by people.
TBFC target: Foundational learning and useful capability should be reachable as part of civilization life rather than purchased according to family income.
Access-gate research question: Which essential learning and capability routes are genuinely reachable regardless of family income, and where do fees, debt or paid enrichment create decisive access gaps?
Abundance Gap: +10.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
Russia has a large established public education system from preschool through higher education. Rosstat maintains current 2025–2026 national education releases, while UNESCO-derived World Bank attainment series extend through 2024. Strong system capacity is credited, but the score is restrained because current learning-outcome and household-cost evidence is less complete.

4% weightMobility & Reachability
+38.3
Local, regional and national movement that connects people to family, services, work, learning and public life without consuming excessive time.
TBFC target: Ordinary local and regional movement should be available for family, care, learning and civic life without travel becoming a paywall.
Access-gate research question: Can ordinary people reach family, care, learning and public life without high recurring fares, vehicle costs, debt or fuel dependence?
Abundance Gap: +25.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
The federal government reports 220.8 km of federal roads built or reconstructed and 4,628 km repaired or resurfaced in 2025; 72.9% of Rosavtodor federal roads were in standard condition. Russia has extensive rail, road and air capacity, but vast distances and the remaining non-standard network create substantial reach friction.

8% weightFamily Formation, Continuity & Child Stability
Fertility agenda · target 5.0
Family continuity is measured partly by whether children are actually multiplying. New and re-reviewed profiles use total fertility as 40% of Family Formation: 2.1 births per woman is the replacement floor and earns positive but limited credit; the authored target is 5.0.
Read A Civilization Built for Mothers and Fathers
+42.8
Conditions that let people form stable families, raise children, share parental time and continue family life without punishing material barriers.
TBFC target: People should be able to form, continue and multiply family life. Trott Bailey Family Civilization uses 5.0 children per woman as the fertility target; 2.1 is the replacement floor, not the aspiration, while housing, care, food and time should not be withheld behind financial thresholds.
Access-gate research question: How strongly do housing, childcare, health, food and work-income requirements delay or destabilize family formation and continuity, and is total fertility moving above replacement toward the 5.0-children-per-woman civilization target?
Abundance Gap: +10.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
Q3 2025 official poverty was 6.5%, with social transfers among the drivers. Russia has broad child and family transfer programmes, but everyday provisioning remains tied to earnings, benefits eligibility, housing costs and regional service availability. Family-support capacity is therefore meaningful but not free of monetary gates.

5% weightLand Access & Spatial Freedom
+37.8
Whether land and settlement choice reach ordinary people rather than opportunity being functionally trapped inside expensive commercial centres.
TBFC target: Suitable productive land and settlement opportunity should not be functionally reserved for those able to outbid everyone else.
Access-gate research question: Can ordinary families gain secure use of suitable productive ground without first accumulating enough money to purchase, finance or outbid others?
Abundance Gap: +50.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
Russia has immense land resources and household land-use traditions, but national territory does not equal serviced land access. Rosstat 2024 household microdata include ownership/use of land plots and show substantial participation among sampled households, while explicitly warning that raw observation shares are not population estimates. The score therefore credits capacity but keeps reach conservative.

6% weightPeace of Mind, Happiness, Beauty & Delight
+52.3
Peace of mind, social support, everyday safety, public beauty, recreation, nature, culture and delight reachable without constant payment.
TBFC target: Beauty, nature, recreation, rest and public delight should belong to ordinary life rather than appearing mainly after payment.
Access-gate research question: How much everyday rest, nature, recreation, culture and public beauty is freely reachable, rather than principally accessed through paid venues, travel or private property?
Abundance Gap: +30.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
Russia has exceptional nature and recreation capacity. The Ministry of Natural Resources reports roughly 76 million hectares of federal protected areas, including 107 reserves and 70 national parks. Distance, access rules, cost and uneven local safety limit everyday reach, so landscape abundance is scored separately from universal enjoyment.
Ministry of Natural Resources — protected areas · World Bank — Russian Federation data
6% weightLiving Ground, Biodiversity & Resilience
+46.0
Whether soil, forests, wetlands, habitat, pollinators, species and water-holding landscapes are strengthening rather than being consumed.
TBFC target: Regenerating soil, water, habitat and food-bearing landscapes should be maintained as shared life-supporting capacity rather than only where a transaction makes them profitable.
Access-gate research question: Are regenerative land, water and habitat functions maintained as life-supporting infrastructure even when no direct commercial return is available?
Abundance Gap: +30.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
Forest covers about 49.8% of land area according to World Bank 2023 data, and Russia contains very large protected and forest territories. Federal forest monitoring reported illegal logging volume down 29% over the first 11 months of 2025. These are strong ecological capacities, but extraction, fire and pollution pressures remain material.

5% weightJustice, Safety & Institutional Friction
+31.5
Physical safety, usable justice, legal identity, reliable public administration and low needless institutional burden.
TBFC target: Usable justice, legal identity, safety and ordinary administration should remain accessible regardless of wealth.
Access-gate research question: Do fees, legal costs, bail, fines, documentation costs or ability to hire expertise materially change access to justice, safety or public administration?
Abundance Gap: +25.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
Rosstat maintains current SDG 16 indicators on homicide victims, trafficking and justice-related measures. World Bank’s latest comparable homicide series reports 6.765 intentional homicides per 100,000 people in 2021, which is useful but dated. Because a clean current national court-delay/legal-aid series was not secured, institutional reach is scored cautiously.

4% weightDurability, Repair & Material Return
+24.8
Whether useful materials, infrastructure and goods are maintained, repairable, recovered and cycled instead of repeatedly becoming waste.
TBFC target: Repair, maintenance and useful material circulation should protect capability instead of forcing repeated repurchase as the default route to continued use.
Access-gate research question: Do repair and maintenance remain practically accessible, or do pricing, proprietary restrictions and replacement incentives turn continued use into repeated purchasing?
Abundance Gap: +45.0
Live-reviewed Russia evidence. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; the national monetary gate is applied only once at the overall-score stage. No Adoption uplift is applied.
Verified evidence
Rosprirodnadzor reports 7.84 billion tonnes of production and consumption waste in 2025, with 1.87 billion tonnes utilized and 1.89 billion tonnes buried; municipal waste generation was 46.4 million tonnes. This shows large formal handling and utilization capacity alongside very high material throughput and burial.

The end state: life beyond monetary gatekeeping
Trott Bailey Family Civilization treats money as an exchange tool rather than a prerequisite for access to life. The long-run abundance target is that food, water, shelter, care, education, mobility, land access and ordinary public life remain reachable even when a person cannot pay.
This target is an authored civilization standard. The diagnostic evidence score can now draw from all 16 weighted categories. The five-part Money Gate remains a separate domestic threshold asking whether food, housing/land, healthcare, transportation and water/energy are genuinely reachable without payment before any civilization can cross zero.
