Living in Russia is truly much more comfortable than living in the U.S. Most people can't understand that. I agree with him and I've lived in Omsk for 16 years.
My gall bladder operation, 2 emergency rides in the ambulance cost $164 dollars. I stayed in the hospital for 1 week. That cost included all medicines, all care, and follow-up care. The operation was skillfully done.
Wonderful video. Just too bad my wife and I have health issues, especially my wife. And, our finances are very poor. Sounds like a great place, surprisingly.
God bless Russia
you will not be Russian you are just a migrant from the
in Russia we are Russian owners of this land of our ancestors ava in Russia,
I've traveled to Russia 10 times, over the last 20 years, for 2-3 weeks each time. I too, have NEVER been mistreated by anyone I have ever met. Russians are naturally curious about foreigners,….especially in the earlier years of my travels there. I've learned a LOT of the Russian language, but am no where near fluent yet. I have spent most of my time in St. Petersburg, Moscow and Yekaterinburg (in the Ural mountains). I have taken excursions to Kazan, and the cities of the "Golden Ring" near Moscow. – Russia is a wonderful country to visit, once you get over the initial culture shock.
I wish I could live in Russia but unfortunately I don’t speak the language
I'm also American in a very similar situation. I want to live permanently in Russia too. I'm lucky because I already speak Russian. So I'm planning to go as a master's student and see what I can do with my life. God bless Russia, and may God protect the Russian people.
Salute to everyone who are thinking of moving to Russia. As a Russian I can tell you everything you are wondering, just text down below this comment! All "+" and "-" of living here. By the way I'm not from Moscow but from famous (in Russia) big city in the Ural region.
