Living in Russia: A large country with a wide range of opportunities
Russia, the largest country in the world, attracts visitors with breathtaking landscapes, from dense forests to snow-capped mountains. But what about the quality of life and opportunities for emigrants?

 

Population and area:

  • With 144 million inhabitants, Russia is the ninth most populous country, but at the same time seems sparsely populated.
  • The reason: The huge area stretches across 9 time zones.
  • Most people live in the west of the country.
  • About 8% of the population are migrants, many with Russian roots.

 

Lifestyle and nature:

  • Nature lovers appreciate the vastness of Russia.
  • For emigrants, however, it is an insider tip, as obtaining a residence permit is complicated.
  • Most emigrants live in Moscow, the economic center.
  • Tax-wise attractive: Income tax is only 13%.

 

Cost of living:

  • In general, life is cheap.
  • Moscow is cheaper than other world cities, but expensive compared to wages.
  • The costs vary greatly depending on lifestyle.
  • If you live simply, you can get by cheaply.
  • Luxury, on the other hand, has its price.

 

Health care system:

  • Basic care is free according to the constitution.
  • Funded by employer contributions (5.1%) and the state for non-working people.
  • Quality of the public system is poor due to a lack of investment.
  • Slightly better in metropolitan areas, but not optimal.
  • Private health insurance is recommended, especially in Moscow and St. Petersburg.


Climate and regions:

Russia extends over three climate zones: subtropical in the south, temperate in the center and polar in the north.
The west and east are densely populated, the center less populated.
The choice of where to live is up to the emigrants: metropolis or rural area?

 

Conclusion:

Russia offers a wide range of opportunities, but requires thorough research and a willingness to adapt.
Find out as much as you can before emigrating and choose the region that suits you best.

Living in Russia: 4 fascinating destinations for expats

Moscow, the capital of Russia, is a magnet for expats looking for a dynamic environment with excellent job opportunities. As the country’s most important economic center, Moscow offers a diverse range of companies and institutions that require qualified specialists. The salaries are significantly higher than in other Russian cities and the career opportunities are excellent.

But Moscow is more than just a business center. The city is vibrant with a cultural offering that is second to none. World-class museums, theaters, opera houses and countless restaurants and cafes provide entertainment at the highest level.

The economic situation in Kazan is stable and the job market offers interesting prospects in various industries, especially in the petrochemical industry and mechanical engineering.
