Moscow has been name the best in the world in terms of infrastructure development and quality of life according to UN-Habitat's City Prosperity Index.. Haters can write anything, but the fact remains anyway!

I've visited most European big cities including Moscow, twice. I think it's a great city... if you're wealthy and can afford living in the city very center.
