It is nice and cheap everywhere in eastern europe :) Russians do far prefer real conversations and are very honest, unlike for instance the British, who I find to be very fake and would betray someone in a split second for their own gain. It is very beautiful as well. I recommend if you do move here to go around to all of the different areas, like for instance volvograd, yakutsk or norilsk maybe, they all give a very different experience. Is there anything else in America that is pushing you to move or anything in Russia that is pulling you in? Would love to hear :D

    I don't think the Russians will let anyone rule over them as harshly as some of the soviet leaders did, So yes I agree with your idea :) If you are looking for a proper job, Moscow and St . Petersburg are your main areas to live in as they are where most of the money is made, But areas like volvograd are also very nice. If you do decide to stay here, Take a trip on the Trans-Siberian to wherever you want, All of the areas are wonderful. If you want to get an authentic experience you have to find a typical communist block, Buy a good amount of cheap cigarettes (Low tax on them :) ) and a lot of cheap high proof alcohol and stand near the door and wait to make new friends, very easy way to get invited into someone's house for dinner. And don't forget sunflower seeds!!! Are you fluent in Russian? And could you explain to me what linguistics entails?

      I see. Why do you like the Russian language so much? Sunflower seeds are a typical cheap snack eaten by cracking the shell open and eating the seed itself. Very cheap and common everywhere in Russia and most Russians will not decline having a few of them if offered, it is seen as social thing (kind of) :)

        I have always thought portuguese sounded lithuanian, The language is peculiar :). In the Russian language, there are many many words you can use to convey what you feel while in English it is far more limiting, In Russian for just one feeling there are different words that portray different severity of it, It is very Expressive. What do you plan to work as in Russia?

          Oops, I forgot to respond :P. I would type these out, But I am using an english keyboard and it has no russian stickers :/ . The word lovely has a large range of synonyms and they all portray a different type / feeling of lovely : https://files.catbox.moe/9c44ks.PNG. There are many more examples, that you can find by just typing in an adjective on Google Translate :D.

          Do you like the Cyrillic Alphabet? And what do you think about BLM and LGBT?

          Do you like the Cyrillic Alphabet?

          It's too weird. Then again, I'm an English only American, so all the off-brand stuff is off my menu.

          And what do you think about BLM and LGBT?

          Niggers and faggots should be oppressed to extinction.
