Are you satisfied with the city where you live? Have you ever thought about moving to another place? If you have thought about it, then why? What do you dislike: the climate, the ecological situation, or maybe the economic situation? Where is the best place to live in Russia? Let's figure it out.

Where is it better to live in Russia: a rating of cities from the category of "who in Russia live well"

Every year ratings of the most comfortable cities for living are compiled. Many factors are taken into account when ranking. These include: climatic conditions, infrastructure development, the availability of educational and medical institutions, the level of wages and much more.

If we consider the question of where it is better to live in Russia in terms of wages, unemployment, and in general the opportunity to earn good money, then the following cities can be distinguished:

Moscow - the bells are ringing

No other city can compete with Moscow in terms of the number of jobs. In the capital of Russia, the wages are attractive, and the standard of living. Here you can find a job for everyone: from generalists to highly specialized specialists.

Favorable conditions have been created in Moscow for creating your own business. Even with a lot of competition, you can always find your niche in this huge metropolis.

It is not for nothing that such concepts as “Moscow is not rubber”, “come in large numbers here” are heard - this suggests that many people continue to move to Moscow. Some come here for higher education, and then remain permanently.

In addition to Moscow itself, you can also get a good job in the Moscow region. There is also enough work with a good salary for everyone.

The main areas of activity that allow achieving high financial results in Moscow and the Moscow region include: marketing, trade, and the latest technologies. Work in these areas is quite well valued in terms of money.

City on the Neva - St. Petersburg

A worthy competitor to Moscow in terms of the number of jobs is the second multi-millionaire country - St. Petersburg. This is one of the most beautiful cities in Russia, its cultural center. The very concept of "cultural center" should already make you think about the real getting of work for representatives of cultural professions.

A huge number of tourists from all countries flock to St. Petersburg - again, not free, of course, but a niche for the excursion and hotel business.

If you are tormented by the question of where it is better to live in Russia, then, of course, St. Petersburg is perfect for work, study, and recreation. But do not forget about the rainy and gloomy climate of this city.

It should be noted that Moscow and St. Petersburg love ambitious and purposeful people, because despite the huge prospects, it is quite difficult to break into these megacities.

A well of oil and gas - Tyumen

In terms of living standards, Tyumen always occupies the first lines of the rating. This is also evidenced by statistical data from a survey of people living there. People note the quality of education, the climate, and the work of public utilities.

Tyumen is distinguished by a high percentage of vacancies with a salary of over one hundred thousand rubles. The high northern coefficient also contributes.

The main activities in Tyumen are oil and gas production, woodworking industry, production of batteries. That is, such rather “expensive” areas of employment.

Oh, Kamchatka - the cities of the Kamchatka Territory

Despite the high wages, Kamchatka is not suitable for everyone to live. This place is suitable for those who are looking for solitude. The main activity in Kamchatka is the extraction of fuel and energy minerals.

For those who consider Kamchatka as their place permanent residence, information about business opportunities will not be superfluous. First, these are implementation projects the latest technologies fish and seafood processing. Secondly, it is the sphere of tourism.

Yekaterinburg - are you from the Urals?

Yekaterinburg is one of the important scientific and industrial centers of Russia. A variety of industries are concentrated here, from machine-building to light industry. The trade sector is also well developed. So jobs are provided for everyone.

In the metropolis, the service market is also widely developed, which in turn makes it possible for people of completely different professions to find employment. Yekaterinburg is also a major transport hub connecting seven railway lines.

A large number of educational institutions are concentrated in Yekaterinburg, and these are prospects for young people, who, undoubtedly, are thinking about where it is better to live in Russia. It should also be noted that Yekaterinburg has quite attractive housing prices compared to other metropolitan areas.

Of course, these are not all cities that offer us a real opportunity to earn extra money. Statistics is an unpredictable thing, leading either one or another city to the first places in the ranking. In terms of favorable conditions for doing business, such cities as Ufa, Belgorod, Irkutsk, Krasnodar, Kaliningrad, Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Sochi have also occupied and continue to occupy high positions.

It should be noted that it is also necessary to take into account when researching where it is better to live in Russia ranking by regions. For example, in terms of average wages, the top five regions include:

Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, where most of the oil and gas production throughout the country is concentrated;
Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, known for its mining industry;
Khanty - Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, which is not inferior in gas reserves to Yamalo-Nenets;
the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, famous for its fishing and timber industries, as well as the Vasilkovo-Naryan-Mar Gas Pipeline;
Magadan region, the main area of activity of which is the fishing industry and gold mining.

Of course, when deciding to move to these regions for high salaries, do not forget about other equally important factors, such as climatic conditions and assessments of the quality of life in general.

So, you found out where you can earn extra money. But work is not the most important thing in life. There is also a family, children. You also need to think about old age. We will travel around Russia in search of a better life through the prism of family values and environmental conditions. We will look for where it is better for pensioners to live in Russia, as well as where to move with children.

Where is it better to live in Russia for pensioners?

Where can I get money to start my own business? This is the problem faced by 95% of new entrepreneurs! In the article, we have revealed the most relevant ways of obtaining start-up capital for an entrepreneur. We also recommend that you carefully study the results of our experiment in exchange earnings:

When choosing a place of residence for pensioners, factors such as the possibility of earning in retirement should be taken into account, of course, if desired. Also, no less important is the factor of health. It is no secret that older people suffer from various kinds of diseases. Therefore, when looking for a place where it is better for pensioners to live in Russia, it is necessary to take into account the climate and the ecological situation.

Do not forget about the amount of pensions in a particular region, because the majority of pensioners live only at the expense of pensions. You should also take into account the communal infrastructure, the size of the food basket, i.e. all those factors that make up the expenditure part of the pensioner's budget.

Having studied all this, one can come to the sad conclusion that it is better for a pensioner to live abroad, where the size of the pension allows not to survive, but to really live!

But what about Russia? Where is it better to live in Russia: a rating of Russian cities that are comfortable for living in retirement.

Irkutsk

Features: increased pension through subsidies for pensioners living in the Far North, affordable cost of housing and communal services and a food basket.

Tula and Bryansk regions

Features: a fairly high well-being index, which shows the amount of free cash left by pensioners after basic expenses (housing services, a food basket and medicines).

Sarapul, Mineralnye Vody, Taganrog Sochi, Kostroma, Pskov

Feature: environmental friendly environment

Yaroslavl

Feature: one of the lowest rates of utility bills in Russia

Krasnodar region

Of course, everyone decides where it is better to live in Russia, based on their own criteria. For some, the main thing is material well-being, for some it is the development of agriculture, and for a third, a favorable climate is important.

Once again, special attention should be paid to the fact that pensioners are a category of people who suffer various diseases. And not only pensioners, to say the least. Therefore, when choosing a place of residence, do not neglect the fact that it is not always good for hypertension, where it is good for an allergy sufferer or asthmatic. The climate is of great importance here.

Features: favorable climate, well-developed healthcare system.

Where is it better to live in Russia with children?

When answering the question “Where is it better to live with children in Russia”, you need to take into account such factors as the availability of educational institutions, medical care. Pay attention to the level of crime.

Also, when moving, you need to take into account the climatic conditions. It is desirable, if the child is small, that the climate of the two cities - where you live and where you plan to move - does not differ much. And if children have weak immunity, then give preference to coastal regions.

Kazan
Belgorod, Voronezh
Also one of the largest scientific and educational centers, occupying top positions in the ranking.
Rostov-on-Don
Cultural and educational center with a huge number of entertainment facilities for children and youth.
Kaliningrad

Of course, listing places where it is better to live in Russia can take a very long time. Ratings and surveys are conducted annually to identify the best place. And they are compared as big cities– millionaires, and small. If a city is in the top five this year, it does not mean that it will hold this position next year. It is rather difficult to find a place that would suit all indicators: both in terms of doing business, and in terms of favorable conditions for children and elderly parents. Even over such a question as "where is it better to live by the sea in Russia", and then it is worth thinking about. Of course, no one argues about a favorable climate, but is it possible to find a good job everywhere?

How many people, so many opinions. And when making such an important decision as moving to another city, you need to consider both your goals and expectations from the move, as well as the composition of the family. It is always easier for one person to break away, easier to endure, for example, an unfavorable climate in the name of getting a high salary.

Many consider Kaliningrad to be the best both in terms of quality of life and, attention, for doing business. In addition, it is the most European city. Therefore, when considering options where it is better to live with children in Russia, do not disregard this city.

Where is it better to live by the sea in Russia?

Many residents of Russia who want to change their place of residence opt for cities in the middle or southern strip of Russia. This is especially true for residents of northern cities who lack the sea and the sun. Yes, and experts recommend moving to the sea for children who are constantly ill colds. For pensioners, again, the southern climate is most favorable.

So, where is it better to live by the sea in Russia, so that, as they say, "both the wolves are fed and the sheep are safe"? Let's stop at a couple of towns.

In conclusion of our search for a better life in Russia, we should also mention the four cities in which the happiest people live. Maybe this criterion will be decisive in your choice. So, Grozny, Tyumen, Kazan, Surgut were in the top four. And in general, if you analyze the entire article, you can find the intersection of many cities in lists of different significance. The same Krasnodar or Sochi lit up almost everywhere: they are favorable both for doing business and for life in retirement. Everything has already been said about moving with children to these southern sea towns.

Note that there is no smell of Moscow and St. Petersburg here. But you can pay closer attention to Tyumen and Kazan. Tyumen was noted in the TOP of the "richest" cities in Russia, where there is a real opportunity to earn money. And we observed Kazan in the list of favorable places for moving with children.

Conclusion

So, we found out where it is better to live in Russia from the point of view of experts and opinion polls - now the choice is yours. Explore, compare which criteria are paramount for you and which are not. Don't forget to take into account who you're going to live with in the new place, so that their interests are taken into account as well.

In the vast expanses Russian Federation there are many different cities. Some of them provide Russians with Better conditions labor, in others, the infrastructure is developing promisingly, thirdly, it is very comfortable for citizens of the Russian Federation to live in retirement. To figure out which Russian city is best to settle in, a lot of ratings have been compiled. Below we propose to consider some of them.

The standard of living of the population is a combination of several factors. First of all, this, of course, is the amount of wages, the level of provision of educational and medical services, clean ecology, safety of living and developed infrastructure. The highest standard of living is found in large cities, where material support allows Russians to live with dignity. The list of the best cities in Russia according to this criterion includes such settlements as Kazan, Moscow, Krasnodar, Tyumen and St. Petersburg.

It is good to live in the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan for those who want to open their own business or continue to run an already started business. This city is developing at a rapid pace and provides a high standard of living for 1.2 million citizens. Kazan also pleases its residents and guests with excellent roads, developed infrastructure, a variety of universities and scientific institutions, as well as many other attractive features.

More than 12 million people live in the capital of the Russian Federation, and this figure is the highest in the country. For those who live in this city, the highest average salary in Russia, high-quality highways, advanced housing and communal services, the best schools and higher educational institutions, cultural and historical institutes and much more are available.
Nevertheless, there are several nuances that do not allow Moscow to be the city with the highest standard of living in Russia. For example, the unsatisfactory state of the environment, the high cost of buying and renting housing, and frequent traffic jams.

Krasnodar

More than 800 thousand people live in Krasnodar, each of them can enjoy a warm climate and modern infrastructure, as well as receive decent medical services. But low-quality roads and a small number of decent universities do not allow Krasnodar to be the best city in terms of living standards.

The city of Tyumen is one of the largest settlements in Siberia and accommodates almost 700 thousand inhabitants. About 10% of the able-bodied population of this corner of Russia is involved in the oil and gas industry.

The advantages of Tyumen are rightfully considered car roads of decent quality, a developed system of housing and communal services, a high level of educational services and fairly high average salaries.

St. Petersburg

More than 5 million people live in the cultural capital of Russia, and this figure ranks second after Moscow. The advantages of St. Petersburg, which are quite weighty for moving to a permanent place of residence: beautiful architecture and nature, a variety of museums and cultural and historical sights, a large concentration of prestigious universities and research institutes, high-quality housing and communal services and a modern healthcare system.

First of all, the level of competition in the local labor market was determined, an indicator of this is the total number of applicants for each job. In addition, the index of unemployed citizens of working age and those who seek to leave the city in order to find a job was taken into account. Based on these calculations, the most attractive cities in Russia for migrants looking for decent work were determined.

Kazan deserved the right to be considered a city with the prospect of further development due to the development of large chemical and aviation enterprises, as well as due to the high volume of new housing construction.

Krasnoyarsk

This region is considered the largest center of economy, education and sports in the entire central and eastern districts of Siberia. An important note is that this particular city several times became the owner of the title of "The most comfortable city in Russia." The leading sectors of the economy here are as follows: mechanical engineering and, of course, non-ferrous metallurgy. The listed pluses annually bring more and more migrants to Krasnoyarsk.

Krasnodar

Huge potential in economic terms has been associated with Krasnodar in recent years. This city in the south of Russia has repeatedly been at the top of the rating of the most developed cities for doing business in the Russian Federation.

These advantages provide Novosibirsk with an annual increase in the number of inhabitants, thanks to migrants from other cities of the Russian Federation and neighboring CIS countries.

Localities that have all of the above factors at a high level are listed below:

Kazan;
Belgorod;
Rostov-on-Don;
Kaliningrad;
Voronezh.

Cities with the most favorable environment

Before moving, you should also think about the environmental situation in the new place of permanent residence. federal agency state statistics calculates the indicators of the most environmentally friendly cities based on a comparison of the number of enterprises harmful to the environment, the availability of compensation for environmental damage and the amount of polluting emissions into the atmosphere. The cleanest cities in Russia are listed below:

Sarapul (Republic of Udmurtia);
Chapaevsk (Samara region);
Essentuki and Mineralnye Vody (Stavropol Territory);
Derbent and Kaspiysk (Republic of Dagestan);
Nazran (Republic of Ingushetia);
Novoshakhtinsk (Rostov region).

The most prestigious settlements of the Russian Federation

As it would be logical to assume, the most prestigious city in the vast expanses of Russia is the capital Moscow. Many residents of the Russian Federation strive to get to this city in order to fulfill their dreams and unleash their potential. Nevertheless, there are other settlements that are currently developing very quickly and can compete with the capital in terms of prestige:

St. Petersburg;
Tyumen;
Kazan;
Krasnodar;
Novosibirsk.

Choosing a city for a permanent place of residence should not only be based on a variety of ratings and tops. After all, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. It is very important to have your own idea of which city is better to live in and how you can achieve the most comfortable living, because some factors are fundamental for someone, and for another, the same factors are secondary and insignificant.

City ranking

When deciding to move to Russia for permanent residence, foreigners often face a choice: which region or city to prefer. Numerous ratings, compiled on the basis of sociological surveys conducted by various specialized agencies, offer their own versions of building a scale for the attractiveness of Russian cities. After analyzing the rating studies of the most authoritative sociological centers, one can get a certain idea of which cities and regions of the Russian Federation today are most favorable for living. As a rule, when compiling such ratings, factors such as the average wage, climatic conditions, the quality and availability of education and medical care, the crime rate, the attitude of local residents towards migrants, etc. are taken into account.

Moscow is traditionally one of the best cities to live in Russia

Despite certain differences in the lists of cities and regions most suitable for living in Russia in 2017, given by various agencies, there are a number of cities that are present in almost all ratings. Today it is Tyumen, Krasnodar, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Naberezhnye Chelny, Tomsk, Grozny. Of course, it is impossible to choose an ideal city or region, because somewhere it is better with employment, somewhere with climatic conditions, etc., but according to a combination of factors, these cities, according to the majority of respondents, are today the most attractive for residence.

Tyumen

Tyumen has been the invariable leader of most ratings over the past years: among those who give primacy to this city in western Siberia in 2017 are the Department of Sociology of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Rosstat, and other authoritative agencies, institutions and organizations. Why is Tyumen ahead of competitors, including Moscow and St. Petersburg?

the basis of the well-being of the inhabitants of Tyumen is the enterprises of the oil refining complex

First of all, local residents consider Tyumen the best city to live in: polls show that it is Tyumen people who are satisfied with life in hometown more than other Russians. Tyumen today is the center of a large industrial region, the economy of which is based on oil refining enterprises. One of the highest living standards in the country is achieved here due to the competent and socially oriented management of the region. The average salary in the region is about 50,500 rubles, budget expenditures per capita are 30,000 rubles a year. Over the past three years, 23 new industrial enterprises have opened in Tyumen: the city lives and develops.

In addition to the quality of roads, affordable housing, well-established infrastructure, Tyumen is today considered a leader among Russian cities in terms of the quality of medical care and the level of staff in hospitals and clinics. Medical institutions cities are equipped with the most modern equipment, doctors successfully put into practice latest methods treatments that are in no way inferior to the best Western analogues. Clinics in Tyumen actively attract patients from other regions: despite the fact that treatment from other cities is more expensive, such expenses are always justified. The 8th All-Russian Congress of Cardiology is scheduled for May 2017 in Tyumen.

Tyumen among Russian cities is one of the leaders in the quality of medical care

Among other advantages of living in Tyumen: affordable housing, high construction rates, a high degree of security, increased attention of the authorities to the improvement of the urban environment - parks, squares, playgrounds, etc. It should be said that the improvement traditions were to some extent laid the former governor of the region, Sergei Sobyanin, who now has the opportunity to realize his potential as a city planner as mayor of Moscow.

Krasnodar

Among the most attractive Russian cities for moving in recent years, the capital of the Kuban, Krasnodar, is increasingly becoming. The industrial potential of Krasnodar is based on the enterprises of instrument making, metalworking, oil refining, and agriculture. The city manages to successfully combine the image of the industrial center of the south of Russia and one of the greenest and most comfortable regional centers of the country. Krasnodar is a major transport hub with a modern infrastructure that is not inferior to Moscow and St. Petersburg. The presence of a large number of industrial and agricultural enterprises determines one of the lowest unemployment rates in Russia, that is, foreigners and non-residents who come here for permanent residence are very likely to be able to find a job.

Today, Krasnodar is considered to be a major educational center: there are many public and private higher and secondary vocational educational institutions located on the territory of the city. Over the past five years, the city has become the winner of ratings that determine the best city for doing business, the quality of the urban environment, and the most attractive city for investment in Russia. The average salary in the Krasnodar Territory exceeds 35 thousand rubles a month.

Krasnodar is home to many public and private institutions of higher education

One of the main advantages of Krasnodar is its climatic conditions, which are defined by experts as mild continental. Winter is quite short and warm compared to other regions, summer is long, sometimes hot and dry. On the territory of the Krasnodar Territory there are such resort towns as Sochi, Anapa, Gelendzhik, Tuapse.

The state of the environment in the city cannot be called a strong point of Krasnodar: rather high air pollution is explained by the highest number of cars per 1000 people in the country (437, in Moscow - 417). The proximity of the Caucasian republics is considered by some to be a threat to security in the region, but there have been no terrorist attacks on the territory of the region during the post-Soviet period (and even more so during the Soviet era).

Kazan

Kazan is traditionally in the group of leaders among the most comfortable Russian cities. If, when making an opinion about the city, based on the feedback of local residents, then we can conclude that the well-being of the city consists of:

well-established transport infrastructure, lack of traffic jams, the presence of a modern metro and well-organized air traffic;
the presence of numerous sites and facilities designed to organize the largest international cultural, political, sports events, one of which was the Summer Universiade in 2013;
high potential for the development of the tourism business, due to the presence of a large number of monuments, including cultural and historical complexes that are the heritage of UNESCO.

The residents of Kazan demonstrated their concern for the environment by taking part in the all-Russian environmental campaign "Marathon of Good Deeds" in March 2017, and taking second place in it after St. Petersburg. Education in Kazan can be obtained by enrolling in one of the many universities that train specialists in various fields. Despite the fact that in the 80-90s of the last century Kazan was known for its juvenile delinquency, today law enforcement agencies from year to year report a steady decrease in the level of crime in the city.

in 2013 Kazan became the venue for the Summer Universiade

I visited Kazan in 2008. The people are nice, the cultural level is high. And the scientific library of Kazan University is definitely the best in the Russian Federation in terms of a set of criteria! I have something to compare with (even with the Moscow "Leninka", even with the Kirov "Gerzenka", etc.)

Moscow

It is hard to imagine a story about the most attractive Russian cities for living that does not mention Moscow. The capital is rightly considered by many to be the most comfortable city for living in the country, and there is every reason for this. The standard of living of Muscovites, the average wage, transport, infrastructure, education, medicine: comparing these factors with indicators in other regions, many come to the conclusion that today's Moscow is a state within a state. Passing through itself gigantic financial flows, the capital firmly holds the palm in most economic indicators and is unlikely to yield to anyone in the near future.

Moscow is the country's largest financial center

It should be remembered that despite all the advantages of living in the capital, Moscow remains the most "expensive" city in Russia and one of the most "expensive" in the world. If the level of education and medical care is one of the best in the country, then Muscovites cannot yet feel completely safe in their hometown: the large influx of migrants from Central Asia and the Caucasus is taking its toll. The desire of a huge number of labor migrants from neighboring countries to settle down in Moscow is quite understandable: wages are much higher than in their homeland, it is much easier to get a job than in any European country, plus everyone speaks understandable Russian. The pace and volume of housing, road and industrial construction in Moscow today make it possible to count on employment for a large number of both qualified specialists and general workers.

For residents of the Russian outback, the salaries of Muscovites may seem exorbitant: in 2017, the average salary in Moscow was about 67 thousand rubles a month. However, the cost of renting a “odnushka” starts from 20 thousand rubles a month, a minimum of 10 thousand is spent on groceries, public transport- 2-3 thousand per month, etc. And, of course, there are no problems with leisure activities in the capital: almost every day in Moscow there are many sports and cultural events.

St. Petersburg

The second capital of Russia is somewhat inferior to Moscow in terms of most economic indicators, but St. Petersburg has no equal in terms of the number of architectural and historical sights. One of the most beautiful Russian (and not only Russian) cities has long become a Mecca for thousands of tourists from all over the world, but coming here for a week for sightseeing and staying here for permanent residence is far from the same thing.

St. Petersburg has no equal in terms of the number of architectural sights

The first thing that can alert a foreigner (or Russian) who is looking for a new place to live and has fixed his eyes on St. Petersburg is the climate. The summer here is quite short and cool, it often rains, the winter is cold and windy, the autumn is dank - in a word, the weather conditions are not for everyone (Pushkin, here, liked the St. Petersburg autumn, for example). In June, in the city on the Neva, you can observe such an unusual phenomenon as white nights.

The average salary in St. Petersburg at the beginning of 2017 was about 47 thousand rubles per month. The cost of housing starts from 15 thousand rubles for one-room apartment in the sleeping area. There are certain differences in living conditions in different parts of the city. For example, the Vyborgsky district, which is considered by many to be the most convenient for living, is considered to be one of the most prestigious, comfortable and well-equipped areas of the city. The traffic interchanges that exist today make it possible to minimize the number of traffic jams in the area, the life of pedestrians is facilitated by six metro stations located in the area. The infrastructure is not satisfactory: a large number of banks, restaurants, shops, entertainment venues allow residents of the area to feel quite comfortable.

Further in the list of the best for living are Moskovsky, Petrodvortsovy, Kurortny, Primorsky, Pushkinsky, Petrogradsky, Vasileostrovsky districts of St. Petersburg. Environmental problems in the city are typical for megacities: air pollution is caused by activities industrial enterprises and lots of transport. The fight against harmful emissions is carried out with the help of green spaces, in each of the districts of the city there are parks and squares that have a positive effect on the ecological situation. The level of crime in St. Petersburg, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is steadily decreasing, but the terrorist attack on April 3, 2017 in the metro station near the Tekhnologicheskiy Institut station again forced us to talk about the existing problems with ensuring the safety of city residents. In view of their innate politeness and intelligence, in general, St. Petersburg residents treat visitors quite kindly.

Residents of St. Petersburg are friendly to visitors

Yekaterinburg

Before the onset of a series of crises in 2009, Yekaterinburg regularly occupied one of the first places in the lists of the best Russian cities for living. Having lost some positions today, the city is still confidently holding in the top ten, according to most rating agencies. Being one of the largest industrial centers of the Urals, Yekaterinburg, among other things, is also one of the leaders in terms of population, yielding in this indicator only to the two capitals and Novosibirsk.

Among the advantages of living in Yekaterinburg are a fairly high chance of finding a job, an average salary of about 41 thousand rubles, a modern urban infrastructure, a large number of universities with a high level of education, and high-quality medicine. The city has its own history: founded in 1723 by decree of Peter the Great, Yekaterinburg immediately became the capital of the mining region, which it remains to this day. The estates of Russian merchants and industrialists, built in the 18th and 19th centuries, have been preserved in the city and are today architectural monuments.

One of the most painful topics in Yekaterinburg is ecology. A large number of industrial enterprises on the territory of the city and the region has an extremely Negative influence on the state of the environment. The fight against harmful emissions into the atmosphere and pollution of water bodies is invariably one of the primary tasks facing the authorities of the city and region.

one of the main problems of Yekaterinburg is the state of the environment

After the outbreak of the armed conflict in the south-east of Ukraine, many of the residents of Donbass moved to Yekaterinburg for permanent residence, where they successfully coped with the problem of finding a job. A certain similarity helps Donetsk residents quickly adapt to a new place and find a job in a short time industrial productions in the Donbass and Yekaterinburg, as well as the friendly attitude of local residents towards internally displaced persons.

Small towns of Russia

Of course, Russia is not only megacities and large regional centers. Most of the country's population lives in the so-called small towns, towns, villages. There is no doubt that living in a small town today can be no less comfortable than in the capital, and for good health(both physically and mentally) the provincial way of life is much more suitable than the hustle and bustle of a city with a million inhabitants. The environmental situation in small towns, as a rule, is much better than in large industrial centers. One of the latest studies conducted by the Federal State Statistics Service showed that the most environmentally friendly cities in Russia today include such settlements as:

Mineralnye Vody (Stavropol Territory);
Velikiye Luki (Pskov region);
Gorno-Altaisk (Altai Territory);
Belorechensk (Krasnodar Territory);
Glazov (Udmurtia).

Kislovodsk is one of the most environmentally friendly cities in Russia

As well as larger cities such as:

Derbent (Dagestan);
Essentuki (Stavropol Territory);
Kislovodsk (Stavropol Territory);
Arzamas (Nizhny Novgorod region);
Nefteyugansk (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug) and others.

Surgut

If we talk about small Russian cities located in Siberia and the Far East, one cannot fail to mention Surgut, which the locals unambiguously consider the best city to live in, if not in all of Russia, then in Siberia for sure. Founded in 1594 by decree of Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich, the city was originally inhabited by Cossacks and archers. The modern history of Surgut dates back to 1957, when large oil and gas fields were discovered near the city. Since then, the population of the city has been growing rapidly and currently stands at about 350,000 people.

Despite the fact that the climate in Surgut is equated to the conditions of the Far North, the nature of these places is surprisingly beautiful and rich: the city itself is located on the banks of the Ob River, the forests surrounding Surgut are overflowing with various mushrooms and berries. The environmental problems of Surgut are typical for oil-producing cities: the development of subsoil invariably leads to irreversible processes in earth's crust, emergency oil leaks periodically occur, resulting in contaminated environment. If oil gets into the river, it is immediately reflected in the number of fish, in addition, the water smells like oil for some time. Air pollution is associated with the activity of two hydroelectric power plants and a large number of cars. It should be said that the city authorities and the management of enterprises spare no expense to maintain the ecosystem in a state acceptable for life: new safe methods of mining are being developed, new environmental requirements for vehicles are being introduced.

If in pre-crisis times the city simply did not have enough workers to fill all the available vacancies, today the unemployment rate has slightly increased, and, nevertheless, as of 2016, there were 345 registered unemployed people, i.e. in this respect, Surgut continues to be one of the most prosperous cities in the region. As a rule, specialists who came here at different times from other regions of the country work in the production, local residents - Khanty and Mansi - are mostly engaged in reindeer breeding, picking berries and mushrooms.

Housing construction is actively carried out in the city, any officially employed resident of Surgut has the opportunity to apply for a mortgage at 5% per annum. The average salary in Surgut, as in the entire Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug, is one of the highest in the country and is about 61,000 rubles a month. Up to 7-8 thousand rubles a month are spent on housing and communal services.

And my city - the oil capital of Russia (also the Far North) - took 4th place in the list of the most environmentally friendly cities in Russia. And the standard of living, and roads, and medicine in our country are not worse, and sometimes even better than in Moscow.

Serpukhov

Serpukhov near Moscow is a typical Central Russian city with its own specific features and rich history. Founded in the 14th century on the banks of the Oka, the city served as an outpost protecting the approaches to Moscow. The ancient buildings preserved in Serpukhov are harmoniously combined with modern buildings and structures. Climatic conditions are moderately continental, i.e. winters are snowy and quite cold, summers are warm, allowing you to sunbathe and swim in the reservoirs. Some damage to the ecological situation of the city is caused by chemical industry enterprises, which, on the other hand, provide employment for a large part of local residents and a certain percentage of labor migrants.

Mineral water

The population of the administrative center in the Stavropol Territory with the health-improving name Mineralnye Vody was 75,300 people in 2017. Despite the name, there are no mineral springs in the city itself: most of them are located in nearby Kislovodsk, Zheleznogorsk, Essentuki, Pyatigorsk, Lermontov. The city is known for having the most major airport in the south of Russia, which, in turn, became known after 1991, when Shamil Basayev hijacked a plane from here with 178 hostages on board. In terms of wages, Mineralnye Vody cannot compete with the industrial centers of the north of the country; the city will appeal to those migrants who prefer to live in favorable climatic conditions with a clean environment, in a measured, unhurried rhythm.

The most "dirty" cities and regions

The outsiders of environmental ratings in 2017 are the Sverdlovsk, Orenburg, Kurgan, Irkutsk, Moscow, Leningrad, Chelyabinsk, Tver regions, as well as the Jewish Autonomous Region and the Republic of Buryatia. As of the beginning of 2017, Krasnoyarsk was declared the most "dirty" city: the city's air is polluted by emissions from one of the world's largest aluminum smelters, as well as dozens of other large industrial enterprises. Among the leaders of the environmental anti-rating is Norilsk, where 100% of harmful emissions come from the Norilsk Nickel plant. Norilsk, in addition, is recognized by international experts as one of the most environmentally unfavorable cities in the world: the situation is worse only in the large industrial centers of China and India.

Most unsafe cities

According to law enforcement agencies, the most criminally dangerous city in Russia today is Volgograd. Next in the list of cities with the most unfavorable criminogenic situation are Shakhty (of the Rostov region), Astrakhan, Omsk, Novokuznetsk, Chita, Saratov, Nizhny Tagil, Balashikha, Perm.

Where is the highest unemployment in Russia?

According to information provided by employment services, the highest unemployment rate is observed today in Ingushetia, Chechnya and the Republic of Tyva.

the highest unemployment rate today is in Ingushetia

Russia today receives thousands of migrants every day, in addition, many Russians periodically change their place of residence. Moving to a new place for the purpose of settling and long-term residence is a rather important step that can affect the future life and fate of a person, especially if the head of the family brings relatives and friends with him to another city. The geography of the country and the level of economic development of different regions allow any migrant to choose the most suitable conditions. Many of the foreigners arriving in Russia today are internally displaced persons fleeing the war. They are, first of all. residents of the southeastern regions of Ukraine. The overwhelming majority of Russians treat such migrants with sympathy and understanding and, to the extent possible, try to help them settle down in a new place.
