I live alone in a one bedroom (mortgage) outside of MKAD. They say 55K (611USD) is enough without bills. No. Undersetimated. I would multiply by 1.3 at least to get a fairer cost. Bars/aclo/cigs will add 20% more. Having a car even more. 1000USD is fair. The best I like among the expenses is low bill cost. I pay 85USD for all the bills, cell phone, "online cinema", and 500 Gbit internet at home.

Moscow ranked 4th in The World's 100 Best Cities ranking, compiled by the consulting company Resonance Consultancy based on tourist attractiveness, good living, working and business conditions, Deputy Mayor Natalya Sergunina said on Tuesday.

London is at the top of the list, Paris is second, and New York City is third on the list. Dubai trails Moscow by one spot and is placed 5th.

"Just like last year, Moscow placed 4th among other big cities for life, work and travel. The rating looks at many aspects. International experts evaluate not only economic opportunities or cultural aspects, but they also analyze how well the city is developing. We once again maintained our leading position, ahead of strong rivals, like Tokyo, Dubai, Singapore, Barcelona and Los Angeles," said Sergunina.

There are 24 areas that experts look into, separated into six main categories - place, people, economic prosperity, leisure, upward mobility. Moscow was recognized as a leader in the Product category due to its well-developed infrastructure, air traffic and the number of attractions. The capital secured the second spot in the Place category for safety and the availability of good quality parks. "This year, Moscow has significantly strengthened its position in the "Economic Prosperity" category, rising from 64th to 25th place. The assessment was made based on a number of economic indicators, including the unemployment rate and GDP per capita. Let me remind you that the registered unemployment rate in Moscow is now 0.51%, which is the lowest since April 2020," said Deputy Mayor for Economic Policy and Property and Land Relations Vladimir Yefimov.

Moscow is dynamically developing as an international technological center, said Head of the City Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development Alexei Fursin. "Due to the Moscow government programs, startups can promote their developments with the support of the city and big business, test them in an urban environment, and then start interacting with partners and customers," he said.

The World's 100 Best Cities rating has been compiled since 2016 by the international consulting company Resonance. It takes into account statistics, feedback from the business community, industry professionals and tourists.

Putin and his cohorts have dug themselves a financial blood bath they cannot get out of. Alot of rubbish her about Russia being so great just propaganda ie lies nothing more than that.In general Russians are abrasive rude and treacherous to say the least.
So where is the Russia economy headed? It's always been on a downward spiral since the Soviet union was conceived.The only thing that has changed is Russia is finally exposed to the world of how poorp Russia really is.

It depends on your priorities in life and your values. If you come to Russia for big money, then you probably will not find it from here. In Russia, the salaries of the population are lower than in the rich countries of Europe. But on the other hand, we also have lower costs.

If you do not like Russian culture and are completely unfamiliar with the Russian language, then I would not advise you to do this. Without knowledge of the Russian language, surviving in this country will not be easy. Not many people in Russia can freely communicate in English.

You can also come across things that seem strange to you. The mentality of Russians differs from the mentality of Western people, however, as well as from the eastern ones too. We seem gloomy and cold to Western people because we don’t have a small talk culture, we don’t smile out of politeness (we never smile at strangers) and we are more straightforward, which can be perceived as rudeness by many.

I really like traveling and learning new things. But I know for sure that I would never begin to live abroad. I would always feel like a stranger there. I like my country, despite all its problems. I think that loving Homeland for normal Russian person’s is almost genetically based.

Our country has a lot of wonderful things: great culture, beautiful nature, rich cuisine of the different peoples who live here, an interesting story, talented people. Yes, the Russians are imperfect, but I still love them. They seem so gloomy, but in fact they are able to help in a difficult moment even to a stranger. We can go on a visit without warning in a month, we have more freedom of speech (less political correctness) and the most important thing is that no one is forcing you on how to raise your children. This is important to me, because family is sacred.

As an Indian who had visited Russia 3 times in 2014-15-16, I used to have a great respect and genuine affection for the Russian culture and people. Also of course, due to the fact that the USSR greatly supported us all throughout with technology in steel, nuclear, hydro, space and military hardware.

However, with the events of the last 10 years, I have begun to notice a stark difference in attitudes of the Russians. Especially during my time in the Los Angeles & Miami, there are 2 distinct sets of Russians. One is of course the oligarchs and their families/friends who are buying up properties in the West especially US and UK, and converting them into Airbnbs or hostels. A lot of them clearly have a "only Russian" policy. Apart from this, the second segment seems to be villagers east of the Urals, from Siberia who have never even been to Moscow and SPB, claiming refugee/asylum status, to escape from the draft. They are openly hostile to even the host country citizens, let alone other immigrants such as Asians, Latinos etc. They have flooded Mexico and even started Russian only areas and businesses, similar to Goa in India.

It's clear that they are on a su*cidal path, as evidenced by Putin's phrase from last year - "What use is such a world, where Russia does not exist?" Even the infamous Blue Whale game targeting teenagers for self deletion was originated in Russia. They have become a deeply self loathing, pessimistic, and scorched earth kind of culture just in 10 years, and it's only going to get worse. Forget the Ukrainians, now they are even beginning to despise the other republics and ethnicities of each other. To say nothing of their discontempt and anger towards the Kazakhs, Uzbeks etc.

I am no NATO supporter and I loathe the US imperialism and intervention as much as anyone from the South, but I am sad to say, what I considered a once great culture, is in ruins and shambles. The Russkies are on a path to insignifance within a brainwashed echo chamber.

Woody Harrelson on Sep 29, 2023:
Of course, Woody Harrelson is usually a sucker, and no one takes him seriously.. Of course, he's a sucker and has achieved nothing in life, unlike the wanker from below who writes sh#t!

Woody Harrelson: Hollywood actor defended the Russians without ever saying "Russia".
The actor from the USA Woody Harrelson subtly recalled the numerous wars and aggressions of the USA, answering the question about the condemnation of Russia because of its.

In the West in general, and in the United States in particular, a wave of resistance to lies in the media and Russophobia is growing, instilled at the behest of the Biden administration and those governments that unleashed the war in Ukraine and the genocide of Russians by the neo-Nazis of the Kiev regime.

Increasingly, citizens who have their own point of view are ridiculing the policy of the United States, which provoked the beginning of its own Russia and mobilized its satellites for sanctions, but they themselves do not stop at anything in their policy.

So, the famous actor Woody Harrelson had to answer a question about his attitude to the war. He replied like this:

I am one of those who find war disgusting. It's terrible when a superpower attacks countries with all its might, without provocation. For example, how... Iraq? Oh, sorry... Afghanistan? Oh, no... Vietnam? Oh, yes, Ukraine...
After these words of Woody Harrelson, even journalists accustomed to hypocrisy laughed when they heard in his words a hint at the main aggressor of the planet - the United States.

What are all such funny ukrainian bots..
Elon Musk: Ukraine has lost many for the sake of an insignificant result of the counteroffensive. The Armed Forces of Ukraine lost many people and at the same time achieved negligible results in the counteroffensive. This opinion was expressed by American entrepreneur Elon Musk.

He commented on the publication of businessman David Sachs on the social network X (formerly Twitter) about the failed counteroffensive of Ukrainian fighters.

"So many deaths for such an insignificant result," Musk wrote.

The businessman was criticized for refusing to turn on the Starlink satellite communication in the area of the Crimean Peninsula on the day of the attack of Ukrainian drones on the ships of the Russian Navy. Musk explained this by the sanctions that the United States of America imposed against Russia. The restrictions included Crimea, so it was impossible to turn on communication over its territory.

Information about the shutdown of the Starlink service by Musk on the territory of Crimea was reported on September 7 by CNN with reference to an excerpt from Walter Isaacson's book about the billionaire. It is clarified that Ukrainian naval drones with explosives lost contact when approaching the Russian fleet and washed ashore.

Really no need to add anything to how Russia is doing overall. Russians wanted to be closed off from the rest of the world and they've definitely accomplished that. Russians are frozen mobially from most countries globally The very few allowing Russians to visit and stay are ruining their reputations so that's short lived.

Far too much death and destruction to Ukraine barbaric murders it's no secret. Children molested by Russian soldiers then murdered by the thousands unforgivable acts the world knows about.

Putin put the death of Russia economy into something that'll take decades to correct if ever most likely never. It doesn't matter how you cut it Russia economy is gutted. Putin wanted Russia to be invincible but the opposite happened in all ways. So now Russia is a hermit kingdom just like north korea is if you want to call that a kingdom. Russians are highly recommended to not leave Russia unless they want to be beaten and burned alive by countries globally.

After living in a beach side subburb in Sydney,my family and I moved to Moscow. Australia is a small island faw away from all the excitement. Russia is exciting, close to Europe and Asia. Sydney is $3000 (160,000 rubles amonth) rent and cost of living is very high, to buy a house is $1 million (40-60 million rubles). The majority of the population in Australia watch TV and netflix and live in a bubble without awareness of rhe world because the country is highly controlled by Hollywood, Facebook and Google. Their is no manufacturing, home grown technology like Yandex of VK, or space program. My children are better off living in Russia with a good future exposed to civilizations.

Putin the Kremlin and others in high level positions in Russia including Russian citizens have gone back beyond the Soviet union era into atleast 20 to 30 years of nothingness.Look at the costs of things here.Whether costs are under inflated or over inflated it's unaffordable.This is just a small taste of what's to come for all Russian citizens on a major downside.

Russia economy hasent been stable over the past 20 years.As a result of Putin his brother and oligarchs he helped get rich at the total expence of working Russian citizens which were stolen from repeatedly even to this day.The economic downturn from Putin's grave mistake invading Ukraine is just the beginning of the end of what little of Russia economy is left which has been Zero for years now.Russia will reach out to the IMF for a bailout but Putin burned his bridges with the IMF which is funded by countries globally that's why the IMF is called INTERNATIONAL MONITARY FUND Russia never did contribute much into the IMF just another nail added to Russia coffin is how it really is.

Those are the facts!

Very old news by the state department way before Russia ever invaded Ukraine actually about 5 years before Russia ever invaded Ukraine. Russians aren't welcome in the u s anymore especially hiding knowledge of genocide that's happened in Ukraine by Russian soldiers. All of this time Russian citizens acted like the Kremlin was keeping them in the dark about what atrocities Russia soldiers were committing as in murdering civilians raping women and children. However Russian citizens knew from the beginning what was going on since Russian citizens always have access to Facebook Twitter and every other social media platforms still do so Russian citizens are just as guilty as putin and his henchmen knowing. Nice try Russian troll but it's not working.The u s government even keept out balet,dancers no entry not even for a brief visit banned for life as I know the facts. Everyone else globally knows Russian citizens knew too due to Russian citizens commenting on all social media platforms. Cut your propaganda Russian troll its not working. Russian citizens are just as guilty of war crimes knowing all along. When Russian citizens were trying to enter u s when Ukrainians were entering and Russian citizens were stopped from entering pretty good sign Russian citizens are banned for life from entering u s.

Nothing really matters anymore with any countries. People need to just get over themselves and live their lives. Friend of mine works for u s customs told me Russians are banned for life from entering. But that includes Belarus and many other countries too. People need to stay in their own countries and forget about moving to countries that are opposite from what their cultures are which includes u s citizens moving to other countries too.The u s is closing the door on the world and locking it which is a good thing.

I'm not American but I agree with what Biden told xi about defending Taiwan. Nobody has the precision like the u s has. China may have more equipment in some areas but they build junk. Many of their subs and boats have sunk planes crash due to poor design and structure. The u s military wants war with China believe it. Talk is cheap and China talks alot of trash but never backs it up with action. The u s has been in 198 wars China just one Vietnam but China lost badly against Vietnam. Pelosi visited Taiwan xi didn't make a movie because xi knows the u s wants him to fire that first shot please do. The world knows how lethal the u s military is i saw it in my country in the middle east experienced it too. China needs a visual lesson and they'll certainly get it from the u s military. The u s has destroyed countries and taken them. It doesn't matter what some washed up mayor from Cleveland says.
He just wants to sell his book. But never forget nothing is breathing when the grim reaper comes,calling,the u s military. Death awaits those who cross the line.

Russiais already started to crash worse than the soviet union and it'll only get much worse. Within 2 years or less Russia will be flat out broke there's no avoiding it. Closed off from the global economy already even China backed away.By February 2023 Russian oil and natural gas will completely stop being purchased in the EU and the process is already moving forward rapidly.Drunks and drug addiction fills Russia as a whole. A failing country unfolding before the world's eyes to see. The crash will be 3 or 4 times worse than the collapse of the soviet union ever was. When that happens the world can sit back and watch Russians starve to death remembering how Russia tried to starve Asia,Middle East and Africa.

China has even banned Russians from entering just recently.No countries want Russians in them now.The grim reaper is looking at Russia seriously meaning death . It's too late for the Kremlin to protest against Putin Putin now because the damage is already done.Even so the Kremlin is rebelling against Putin.

The richest place in the world doesn't need anyone's money petroleum or even tourism.Currently Tanzania Africa is building a natural gas pipeline to Europe. The only ones who will be freezing is Russia. Never underestimate the power and skills and resources of the United States.Putin will flee from Russia with his family to Syria very soon.

There is literally zero evidence for anything you are saying. You come up with the most ridiculous claims and just repeat them. Then you create a fake 2nd person that joins your side (the fake guy from Georgia) to lend more credence to the anti-Russia sentiment you are trying to create.

The origin of the claims for Russian soldiers raping was Lyudmila Denisova, Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights. None of the claims were corroborated by anyone independently. What happened to her by the way? She was fired! By a vote of no confidence from Ukraine's parliament on May 31st: https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/russia-ukraine-latest-news-2022-05-31/card/ukraine-s-parliament-dismisses-human-rights-chief-1kQWT7i0GHXyeqh6spRe

But trolls like you will just keep repeating these claims, hoping no-one bothers to actually do any digging to see where they came from since articles citing her lies are still all over the web.

And so it goes with every preposterous, horrific sounding claim about Russia - if its not debunked within 48 hours it typically unravels on its own within a few weeks and disappears from the propaganda narrative to avoid scrutiny.

The same propaganda machine that told us Ukraine was winning, the Ghost of Kiev is real, the brave soldiers on Snake Island told the Russian battleship to F- yourself (they surrendered without a fight), Bucha was a massacre (Russian soldiers were already gone), Russia has been bombing Donbas for over 8 years (lol, yea we're suppose to believe they launch Tochka-U missiles from Ukraine's direction at Russian speaking people Ukraine hates).

Now they're telling you that Russia is blocking grain and starving the world, when in reality its the Ukrainian forces essentially under western US NATO command that are placing mines, which detach and float off into the sea, and making safe passage for grain shipments impossible. Now there are reports of Ukrainian forces setting grain fields on fire.

The reality is that the west is the one that could care less about the Ukrainian people and uses them as a pawn. They would be much better off if they rose up and kicked out Zelensky, replaced him with an anti-NATO Ukrainian who actually obeyed the Minsk accords.

There's over 65 countries looking at what Putin ordered. Do you really think the west is in control of other countries feelings about what happened and ongoing? You must be a pro Putin supporter or just deranged.What about all of the people Russian soldiers killed in Georgia when they took northern Georgia during the 2008 Olympics?

The same propaganda machine that proclaimed vaccines stop transmission to admit that it didn’t, Covid came from Chinese people and eating bats to admit that it didn’t, that Ukraine was winning all along and now it’s not, there are Nazis in Ukraine (pre 2022) but now there aren’t because they have a Jewish president (2022).

I'm now in Russia, so lemme tell you who really support Putin and the war. You can devide Russian people in 2 generations. The older one (30-75 years old) they ussually watch TV, so you can expect a big part of them are brainwashed. I would say 90%, including my father, grandmather, aunts and uncles. I managed to cut off the TV antena a few years ago for my mother and installed YouTube. When the war started I from time to time showed her the reality, videos, pictures, youtube videos and she firmly against the war now. So guys the situations is not desperate!
What about the younger generations (to 30). You can subdevide to 2 categories. 1 is modern and open-minded, and 2nd are naive divs from contryside who are used to watch TV. It's hard to pinpoint the scale but I would say the open-minded category highly preveils in the cities, conutryside doesn't really bring any political value. So about 80% (based on how it feels like) are good and anti war. So good are 10% in older generation and 80% in younger. What's the root cause of everything that's going on right now? TV.

We also also dont think that ukrainians in this current special operation could down 140+ of our war planes and 7 navy boats and we dont think that our army is running from Kyiv because they were almost surrounded there by Ukrainians! We know for sure that our conscripts are not being thrown to war and are not captured by their side. All such videos released by Ukrainians are fake. We trust Putin and know that we are fighting NATO in Ukraineand that it is simply a bloodless special operation! Long live peaceful and Nazi- free Russia!!

Anonymous BOT who wrote the message on Apr 23, 2019. You said that you have lived all your life in Russia in the town of Kasimov? Let's start with the fact that if you are Russian, you should know that in our country the KGB has not existed for more than 30 years. Further, the nonsense that you are talking about beatings, capturing your sons and so on is such that I cannot take it seriously. Life which you describe literally as if you are talking about the serfs of the 14th century. Harvesting firewood to heat your food and not die in winter, fishing to prepare supplies for the winter ... You probably also live in the forest? Do you have a fishing license and permit? Do you have a license to cut wood? We have environmental protection and nature, you will be slapped with such a fine for this that you really start to starve. Then you say that in Kasimov there is no electricity and gas for more than 10 years, no one at all ... This is a lie, you have never been to Kasimov, apparently. Kasimov is a beautiful historical town in the Ryazan region, there are many churches, there is a Kremlin (who does not know, almost every historical city in Russia has a Kremlin. The Kremlin is the Russian name for the central fortress / castle in the city). Here everyone has electricity and gas, there are banks, restaurants, factories, car services, hospitals, and so on. Do you think all this works on firewood?

I am a Lithuanian, I came to Moscow 5 years ago from Vilnius, life in Lithuania was not the sweetest because of corruption and police arbitrariness, and the average salary was 450eur. In Moscow, I receive (like many of my friends here) 78,800 rubles per month. The city is beautiful, very clean, a lot of police and very safe, in general, living here is not expensive but not cheap either. The people are friendly. Very good public transport, but there are a lot of traffic jams in the city, so I advise you to take the metro. I have been to many cities of the “golden ring”, and many others in the central part of Russia, everywhere is very beautiful, clean and comfortable, but the difference in prices compared to Moscow is colossal and not in favor of Moscow. In general, the article is very informative and realistic. I would like to draw the attention of decent people to the Russophobic and deceitful comments of bots that spread misinformation. It's not true, don't believe them, these people have never been to Russia, you can see it, all they know about the country is propaganda and lies.

Russia is already a statistic but Putin is raising the bar towards a nonexistent statistic.Putin and the Kremlin prides itself on deception of having weapons of mass destruction that doesn't exist.

Ask any honest Russian how they're progress is going towards even visiting the. U S. and they'll say no visitors from Russia allowed.

Putin like the Kremlin is a non-productive entity and its been that way since day one. Unfortunately Russian citizens endure the fallout and yes I'm one of those Russians on the receiving end just like many more millions are.

Putin has made it impossible for citizens to live even decently but he turns a blind eye like the Kremlin does daily.

Putin likes his photo ops with Russian women in groups though but the only reason women attend is for exposure to the world and nothing more.

Price fluctuations are too unstable to actually predict on a daily basis.So to the ones giving costs of things according to their renditions I say F U because unlike others I live here in Moscow.

The locals are very respectful of their city. In this regard, you will practically not see garbage on the street.

In the city center, as it is not strange, mostly newcomers or young people live - the closer to the center, the more difficult it is to deliver a child to school or kindergarten.

Labor migrants in Moscow are mainly from Central Asia. They work in taxi, construction and retail. They all speak Russian and are very kind, although they are prone to deceit.

The police are loyal to foreigners, no one will intentionally offend you. Most likely, any police officer will think 10 times before contacting a foreigner. Of course, if it is not connected with a gross violation of public order - in this case, they will not stand on ceremony.

Medical care in Moscow is free of charge. This means that your life will be saved without any conditions. Without five-star comfort, but quite qualified and modern methods. But, of course, no one will treat your chronic diseases for free or do a massage.

Education for children is free and is at a fairly high level. At least the schools are comfortable and safe, and the teachers are sufficiently qualified. Children at school are not aggressive - there are no fights and other violence in schools. Most likely, everyone will want to be friends with a foreigner. This, unfortunately, does not apply to children from Asia, because of the contemptuous attitude towards migrant workers.
