The vast majority of people moving to Russia are labor migrants, refugees, and students from former Soviet republics like Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan.
15% of the Russian population is Muslim.
While a $4.50 cup of coffee in the US costs about 250 RUB in Russia, the PPP on everyday items indicates that a US consumer needs to spend $1.50 to make a purchase in Russia that costs an American only $1.00 at home.
Glad you got out, and hopefully your family does too, eventually.
That's great they have a thing that's good. Esoecially if they live in Moscow where the utilities are dependable. Sucks that in many other parts of the country the Soviet Era infrastructure .akes for spotty heating in the winter, sometimes. That would suck if it were expensive on top of that. The ~60% of citizens that receive some form of welfare definately benefit from cheap utilities.
Also, just fyi when someone tells you something about their experience, that is secondhand information.
