DA!!! I was born in Ukraine and lived during the Perestroika and i question the sanity of people who would rather stay in Russia and other Ex-commie countries. Most are still cleaning up the mess to this day..

Yes. You can always go back later on.

Nobody can make up your mind for you. Immigration is a major life change, and you have to be fully, enthusiastically committed to it if you want to find happiness in another country. That said, you can take the Green Card, move to the US and if you don't like it, you can go back later (although, I have to say you have to give it at least 5 years). Bottom line, I'd say don't throw away this green card.

If was to choose Russia or USA I'd choose USA. However you may feel most comfortable among Russian people, especially if your English is not fluent, and probably it isn't. Then you may skim through Russian ancestry map to find the most Russian populated cities in the US ->Moderator cut: link removed

BTW I know that Saint Petersburg, FL has many Russian residents, actually it was even founded by a Russian guy. I saw many Russian books in Gulfport library (suburbs of St Pete).

Agree, if you win a green card by all means take it. If you can find a place in for example Brighton Beach, New York, you can stay in a Russian cultural area if you want, and venture out only as much as you want.

As to the question if it's better to live in the US or Russia, depends on what you want to do career wise, your specialty, and your personal preferences.

Actually I can't think of one thing that would speak for Russia over USA. All eastern Slavic people who I met in the US said that US was a heaven comparing to Russia/Ukraine/Belarus.

On average it is. This is even evident in the Russian-speaking immigration forums USA.

Thank you all for your opinion, was very interested to hear.
