I lived in a nice neighborhood like that in Upstate New York for 4 years. I could not bear the lack of social interaction and complete isolation from the world. I grew up in a large city, and that is where I like to live. I mean it is good as a summer retreat, but living like that the whole year is not for me.

take couple weeks vacation, go to moscow, check everything you need, then decide-what do you want. maybe this vacation will be enough for you))).
also-dont forget old joke-dont mix vacation with emigration)))

I want to compare if my experiences were common or just my first imressions. I needed to hear from some one who is living there right now who is from the West. I dont know why some one would respond to my thread if he left 10 years ago.

because nothing change(exept moscow) there in 10 years.
i spend at least a hour every week on phone with my friends and i believe that i do know something about life in russia. i also point you to forum, where you can find many russian traders (from moscow too) and talk to them about your ideas)))

---my experiences were common or just my first imressions. ---
your expirience can't be common, just because all people are different. for guy from china-it's a paradise, for guy from dubai-it's dirty village..))))))))

You picked your own handle, you keep it.

You bet wrong. I was two blocks away from World Trade Center when the planes hit. Then I watched it with my own eyes collapse and kill 3000 people.
