Cheers for that mate. Is Ukrainian and Russian quality of life that bad, compared to EU countries then? Even in St.P?
Could you clarify the getting beaten up situation too please? As thinking about Lviv for a month visit quite soon. In Estonia, would it be seen as bad to be speaking Russian as a Brit as opposed to Estonian? Like you chose the 'cultural imperialist' language as opposed to the local one?
That's the thing, quality of girls is only one factor in choosing a city to live in for me. My Latvian friend (who is Soviet/Russian technically) says St Petersburg even gets him drooling at the quality of the women haha, but he never mentioned the severe drop in living standards you imply. Roosh seems to be able to handle living in the most industrial shithole type of places, I don't think I'd be able to.
That said, a family friend just came back from a business trip to Novosibirsk and said it was absolutely beautiful and that they'd go back in a heartbeat. So, mixed messages basically!
