I have one acquaintance. His name is Sergey. He came to Kyiv about thirty years ago (he is already over 40) from Russia. He finished school and university here, got married...
Although my cousin, who has lived in Moscow since 1982, tells a slightly different story. She says that things are not as bad as they are shown in the movies...
Who knows.

Well, in the villages, things are really not great, there are no jobs, there is no money, everyone drinks. But isn't it the same with you?) But in large cities, you can live, at least everyone strives to come here, including from all over the former USSR.))

Goeden Dag, you need to travel more! Somehow. I've only been to Minsk 5 times. And to Kyiv once, and to Odessa once. I haven't noticed any significant differences from St. Petersburg anywhere..

What about imperial ambitions?

In Russia, it is difficult to support its own cities, the entire Caucasus is subsidized. There is a lot of theft. How can they support new territories then?)
