Moving to Russia | Emigrating to Russia
Moving to Russia: The largest country in the world is experiencing a massive economic boom lately, making the Russian Federation more attractive to many international companies. Of course, this also ensures that more and more expats from all over the world are moving to Russia. There are many new and exciting opportunities here, which further fuel the fire of the dream of emigrating to Russia among many potential immigrants.
People who want to make a move to Russia for business reasons should especially consider the two big cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg as a destination. These two metropolises offer the best opportunities, especially in terms of economic aspects and job opportunities. There are many international companies operating in Russia, a large number of which are German-speaking companies.
Russia also offers exceptionally good conditions for those expats who want to start their own business. This in many cases can be a very good idea, since the Russian market offers enormous growth potential, financially strong consumers and is relatively easy to find an educated workforce. Establishing your own production is also a promising option, whereby the advantages mentioned above also ensure that the chances of success are particularly positive.

Prices
Life in Russia is generally a little more expensive than in Central Europe, but prices are not comparable to those in Switzerland. In particular, people who value Western living standards will quickly notice in Russia that the cost of living is relatively high, with only a few items, such as gasoline, being cheaper than in Europe. However, it should also be noted that the differences between the major cities of Russia, such as Moscow and St. Petersburg, and rural areas are particularly large, which means that you can find a significantly lower cost of living in rural areas.
In general, having enough money in Russia is extremely important if you want to lead a prosperous, happy and fulfilling life, as living well in Russia means being financially well off. However, the opposite is true if you do not have any noteworthy financial resources. Therefore, you should consider this aspect carefully before moving to Russia and only make the move if you are sure that you do not have to worry about any financial issues.
Climate
The Russian Federation unites four different climatic zones in one country, which covers about 11.4% of the Earth’s surface and spans two continents, Europe and Asia. Due to the very large area of the country, the temperatures vary greatly depending on the area.
Russia is generally considered to be rather cold and can incredibly reach -50 degrees Celsius in some areas during the winter. The coldest temperature ever measured in eastern Siberia was about -71 degrees Celsius. However, areas along the Caspian Sea reach temperatures of around 25 degrees Celsius in the summer, so the destination should be carefully considered before moving from Switzerland to Russia.

Main Expat Destinations
In general, most expats can be found in the two cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, as they offer the most efficient infrastructure for people from the Western world. Moscow, for example, even has its own district in which exclusively German-speaking people live.
Health Service
With regard to health care, it is definitely necessary to take out private health insurance as the state health care system is unreasonable, especially for expats.
