No exactly, from what I remember about "studios" in US, they use the concept of "open space," where everything ends up in "one room," *kitchen* including.
In Russia, in one-room apartment, everything will be still separated by walls, kitchen including.
This is just an example of small 1-room apartment ( it will be easier for you to envision it.)
From what I'm reading in the comments (the guy translated them in the description), Moscow is not for me.
They made it sound like Moscow is very impersonal because of the hustle and bustle, and that the smaller cities (Novosibirsk? Yekaterinburg? Novgorod?) are all way more personal and there are more connections between people...Does that make sense?
Yes.
That's why I've said that you will be surrounded by better people overall in other Russian cities than in Moscow. There is a bigger chance for that.

Then Moscow will remain a place I visit, sadly. I hope I can spend a good amount of time exploring the VDNKh (it's correct to say THE VDNKh, right?). I know there are a ton of other things to explore, but that's what I'm most excited about. ;P
Back to town searching...People have recommended Kazan and Penza specifically, along with other cities...Looking up a list of top places to live in Russia, I get Sochi, Nizhny, Yekaterinburg, Tyumen, Krasnodar , then St. Petersburg but those are out of the question, it seems
If I move to less populated areas, will I be more likely to get a TRP if I decide to stay?
It is amazing that's only 60,000p/month. As an American (don't people hate that saying ), an apartment that nice would probably cost 3000 dollars a month in the city. I get that cost of living is way lower there...it's just culture shock to me...
[quote=ZimogorOur town by the standards of Russia is small..

Rent in our town around from 5000rub to 25000rub.
Flat 105 sq.m (3 rooms) - 25000rub per month. https://www.avito.ru/biysk/kvartiry/...et._1542741232[/quote]

Maybe in New York or SFO.. keep in mind this is a shoebox studio, multiply by 11 to get a rough square meters to square feet conversion, so this thing is only about 330 s.f., which is TINY. $930 for something that small is more expensive then a lot of American cities.

I live in St. Louis...nowhere near as expensive. I paid 600 dollars a month in a tiny college town for an apartment smaller than that (it was 99m2)

You need to look at the number of factors, University programs including.
Sorry, I need to sign off for the day and to report to my superiors in spying department)))
