Thank you. Didn't post this here to be personally attacked for something unrelated to my question. In fact, maybe I'll move to one of the countries mentioned just to **** him off.

Food?
Don't know now; the last time I was there everything was fine, but now I've heard the quality ( and selection) are going down somewhat.
I don't think that in Moscow there are problems with the amount or quality of food. And even in any other big cities in Russia.

Apartments near our city's main park are like 1000+ a month...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_Park_(St._Louis)

God, I wish I could live there so bad.

It looks like they need to rent it out URGENTLY ( may be that's why it's so low.)
But overall VDNKH is not close enough to the center of Moscow ( in my book,) so I guess it's possible to find something within 40,000-50,000 rub range for rent there...

half my income, so probably not a good financial decision, right?

I see a lot of reports I don't like lately.

Like excessive presence of palm oil ( particularly in dairy products.)

Half of your income - no, not a good idea, but let me see what the rent runs in other districts..

No problem, I did a quick search in one particular district ( I picked it "hypothetically speaking," since it stacks well against VDNKH in terms of distance from the center of the city,) and it's basically not too different from VDNKH in terms of rent pricing.
But I do see that at this location you can find 1-room apartments ( and that's NOT 1 bedroom minding you as in the US, it's just one room ( but that's not the equivalent of the studio either.) So you can find 1-room apartment ( at least in that district) for 30,000 rub a month.

I am sure you can find something like this at VDNKH then too.
I'll be talking to Moscow tomorrow, so if I won't forget, I'll ask them what rents REALLY are and where ( what parts of the city) just to get a better idea.

Then I might give you a better estimate.

But let's ask Zimogor here what the rent runs in his neck of woods ( wherever he is) in comparison to Moscow.

Unfortunately here you are right... recently, palm oil has been used too much as an additive to various products and not only in dairy products.. "merciless hand of the market," damn it... And it is desirable don't take cheap sausage... there at all the entire Mendeleev's table..
But in general, I think, the quality of local products in Russia is much higher than in the West.

Zimogooooor))))
What's the rent like in your city/town (and how big is the city/town you live in)?
And while we are at that, where is it located?


( Yes, just in case if you wonder - I DO want to know where the keys from your apartment where you keep your money ARE as well ©...)
