I personally don't know if I would want to move. I like where I am and I am a red-blooded American, but if America no longer existed, I would consider moving to Russia. But I've heard that it's tough to learn Russian and there is xenophobia in most cities besides Moscow. I'm sure that the good outweighs the bad, since at least Russia isn't actively trying to abort every child in existence and ban God.
I've been studying Russian for the last 60 days. It's not easy but not nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. Try the app Duolingo. It's actually fun.
It comes easy that way - can vouch for the app. Advice from Canadians on the ground is to at least learn some polite phrases and the letters - politeness will get you everywhere - the hardest letters are what we Anglo-speakers call dipthongs - the combination of sounds.
Also, there are some good Russians on Youtube that can help with watching movies or whatever, so you can hear it spoken. I learn a lot from just watching that stuff, and hearing words I know, and slowly gaining vocab. I liked the first season of 'Silver Spoon'; and the movie 'Silver Skates' but also some of the darker military history movies, and Romantic seventies stuff featuring commie-blocks.
But really, my aim is to be able to hear what they are saying, not to move there. I am here.

I am very sorry, but multiple professional linguists discredit Duolingo as real learning for native speak. It is very weak in grammar and is designed as a product to keep you coming back
