Moscow is the city to which the largest flow of internal Russian migration is directed. Nevertheless, one should not think that there is no alternative to Moscow. If you do not like this city or there are not enough career prospects for you, there are many places where you can move from there.
Before moving, you need to seriously consider what you expect from your new place of residence. It can be career prospects that are not available in Moscow, or, on the contrary, a quiet life in a quiet, ecologically clean region. Within Russia, it is quite difficult to find a place comparable in terms of living standards and prospects to Moscow. However, it all depends on what professional field you plan to develop in. For example, for a person who wants to start his own business, moving to one of the Russian resorts can be a good opportunity to develop. Especially promising in this sense is the city of Sochi, which will become the capital of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Despite the long history of tourism development in this region, there is still an insufficient level of service for tourists compared to the leading European and Asian tourist centers. Therefore, the development of the tourism business with a new level of quality can become promising. St. Petersburg can also be considered as a possible direction for moving from Moscow. But at the same time, you need to be prepared for the fact that your income level may decrease - in many areas, people pay more for similar work in Moscow. In addition, the climate of St. Petersburg can become a minus, which seems difficult to many due to the specific geographical location of the city. An alternative to living in Moscow can be the departure from Russia. Countries such as Canada and Australia still pursue active migration policies to attract new potential citizens. If your specialty is on the in-demand list, and you are ready to change the language environment, you have a chance to find your place in another country. There are interesting opportunities for Moscow retirees. If they have their own apartment, they can sell it and move to one of the prosperous regions of Eastern Europe, for example, to Bulgaria. The cost of living there is much lower than in the Russian capital, besides, for the money received from the sale of a Moscow apartment, you can buy your own house there with a plot with an ecologically clean zone and a quiet area. For owners of real estate in Bulgaria, the visa regime has been simplified, which will allow you to live there without unnecessary difficulties, if you do not need a work permit.
