At least this sounds as some sort of cool KGB spying movie plot, meanwhile the leaders of the EU just stole 2 trillion dollars and are bragging about it, media worldwide reports it as a "massive success story from europe". So much about the euro-atlantic "values" or whatever bull**** the west is trying to promote for decades.
Here's an example of one place Russia lacks in comparison to what I/we take for granted. I can go to just about any park and there are toilet facilities in some form available somewhere. Along with camping tables and rudimentary cooking facilities. In Russia they rarely have such things even in the cities. While parks are tightly controlled as we know them in Russia they're not either. In Russia there seems to be little regulation or care by the authorities. Litter can get atrocious until one of the community organizations get people together to clean things up. They're good on that, in my neck of the woods it's just the opposite.

Are talking about the EUs Covid-19 fund? It's a politicians slush fund/wet dream.

I've been living in Ukraine for many years, but now fancy a change and am likely to move to Russia once they open their borders.
I have a high income from my location indepedent business.
My biggest motivation is women, and finding a decent woman(and maybe trying a few along the way!).
I'm deciding which city to live in, i'm drawn to Moscow but then I think to myself that it's a work city and it doesn't make sense to move to such a big and stressful city if I don't need to. Moscow will probably have the best nightlife, good networking opportunities, and variety of women.
I love St Petersburg but I found the nightlife awful, and the women are the least attractive I saw in Russia. There's a huge Hipster scene there also which is off-putting.
Or I could try another major city in Russia such as Rostov on Don, Krasnodar, Ekaterinburg, Sochi. I'm likely to be more "exotic" there as a Westerner, and cost of living drops considerably in some of these cities.
Would be grateful for some advice, especially from expats in Russia
Is it normal to buy blackberries from someone on the side of the road that is selling it from back of the trunk?
Oh yes. Honey, mushrooms, fruit. All kinds of stuff. People who live in the wilderness make money doing that. As a kid I did similar but today it's illegal where I used to live. Corruption and taxes.
