Are you satisfied with the city in which you live? Have you ever thought about moving to another location? If you wondered 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: rating of cities from the category "who lives well in Russia"
Each year, ratings of the cities most comfortable for living are compiled. When compiling the ratings, many factors are taken into account. 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 the level 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, salaries are attractive and the standard of living is also attractive. Here you can find work 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”, “have come in large numbers here” are heard by everyone - this suggests that many people continue to move to Moscow. Some come here for higher education, and then they remain permanently.
In addition to Moscow itself, you can get a good job in the Moscow region. There will also be enough work here 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, the latest technologies. Work in these areas is fairly well estimated in monetary terms.
City on the Neva - Saint Petersburg
A worthy competitor to Moscow in terms of the number of jobs is the country's second multimillionaire - St. Petersburg. This is one of the most beautiful cities in Russia, its cultural center. The very concept of "cultural center" should already make people think about getting a job in a real way 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 leisure. 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 through in these megalopolises.
Well of oil and gas - Tyumen
In terms of living standards, Tyumen always occupies the first lines of the rating. This is evidenced by the statistical data on the survey of people living there. People note the quality of education, the climate, and the work of the communal services.
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 areas of activity in Tyumen are oil and gas production, woodworking industry, battery production. Ie, these are quite "expensive" areas of employment.
Eh, Kamchatka - the cities of the Kamchatka Territory
Despite the high wages, Kamchatka is not suitable for everyone. This place is suitable for those who are looking for privacy. The main activity in Kamchatka is the extraction of fuel and energy minerals.
For those who consider Kamchatka as their place of permanent residence, information about business opportunities will not be superfluous. Firstly, these are projects to introduce the latest technologies for processing fish and seafood. Secondly, it is the field of tourism. 
Yekaterinburg - are you from the Urals?
Yekaterinburg is one of the important scientific and industrial centers of Russia. Various industries are concentrated here, from machine-building to light. The trade area is also well developed. So jobs are provided for everyone.
The market for services is also widely developed in the megalopolis, which in turn makes it possible for people of completely different professions to find jobs. 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 is distinguished by rather attractive housing prices in comparison with other megacities.
Of course, these are not all cities that offer us a real opportunity to earn extra money. Statistics are unpredictable things, leading to one or another city to the first places in the rating. In terms of favorable conditions for doing business, such cities as Ufa, Belgorod, Irkutsk, Krasnodar, Kaliningrad, Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, and Sochi also 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 the rating by region. So, for example, in terms of the average wage level, the top five leaders include such regions as:
- Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, where most of the oil and gas production is concentrated throughout the country;
- Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, known for its mining industry;
- Khanty - Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, which is not inferior in terms of gas reserves to the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug;
- Nenets Autonomous Okrug, famous for its fishing and forestry industries, as well as the Vasilkovo-Naryan-Mar Gas Pipeline;
- Magadan region, the main sphere 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 and children. You also need to think about old age. We travel across 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 for pensioners to live in Russia?
Where to get money to start your own business? This is the problem that 95% of aspiring entrepreneurs face! In the article, we have revealed the most relevant ways to get 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 retirees, factors such as the ability to earn retirement, of course, if desired, should be taken into account. Also, health factor is no less important. It is no secret that older people suffer from various kinds of diseases. Therefore, when looking for a place where it is better to live for pensioners in Russia, it is necessary to take into account the climate and environmental situation. 
Do not forget about the size of the pension in a particular region, because the bulk of pensioners live only on the pension. You should also take into account the communal infrastructure, the size of the grocery basket, i.e. all those factors that make up the expenditure side 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 retirement.
- Irkutsk
Features: an increased pension due to subsidies for pensioners living in the Far North, affordable housing and communal services and a grocery basket.
- Tula and Bryansk regions
Features: a fairly high index of well-being, which shows the amount of free money remaining with pensioners after the main costs (housing and communal services, a grocery basket and medicines).
- Sarapul, Mineralnye vody, Taganrog Sochi, Kostroma, Pskov
Feature: environmentally friendly environment 
- Yaroslavl
Feature: one of the lowest rates for utility bills in Russia
- Krasnodar region
Of course, everyone decides for himself where it is better to live in Russia, based on his own criteria. For some, the main thing is material well-being, for someone - the development of agriculture, and for the third, a favorable climate is important.
It is worth once again paying special attention to the fact that pensioners are a category of people who suffer from various diseases. And not only retirees, what can I say. Therefore, when choosing a place of residence, do not neglect the fact that hypertension is not always good, where allergies or asthmatics are good. Here the climate is of great importance.
Features: favorable climate, well-developed healthcare system.
Where is the best place to live in Russia with children?
When answering the question "Where is it better to live with children in Russia", one should take into account such factors as the availability of educational institutions and medical care. Pay attention to the crime rate.
Also, when moving, you need to take into account the climatic conditions. It is advisable, if the child is small, that the climate of the two cities - in which you live and in which you plan to move - is not very different. And if children have weak immunity, then give preference to the coastal regions.
- Kazan
- Belgorod, Voronezh
Also, one of the largest research 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 young people.
- Kaliningrad
Of course, you can still list the places where it is better to live in Russia for a very long time. To identify the best place, ratings and polls are conducted annually. Moreover, both large cities with a population of one million and small ones are compared. If a city entered the top five this year, it does not mean that it will hold this position next year. It is difficult enough to find a place that would suit all indicators: both for doing business and for favorable conditions for children and elderly parents. Even such a question as “where is it better to live by the sea in Russia” is worth pondering. Of course, no one argues about a favorable climate, but is there an opportunity 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, and the composition of the family. It is always easier for one to get off the ground, it is easier to endure, for example, an unfavorable climate in the name of receiving a high salary.
Many consider Kaliningrad to be the best in terms of quality of life and attention to doing business. Moreover, it is the most European city. Therefore, when considering options for where it is better to live with children in Russia, do not disregard this city.
Where is the best place to live by the sea in Russia?
Many residents of Russia who want to change their place of residence opt for cities in central or southern Russia. This is especially true for residents of northern cities who lack the sea and sun. And experts recommend moving to the sea for children who are constantly sick with colds. Again, the southern climate is the most favorable for pensioners.
So, where is it better to live by the sea in Russia, so that, as the saying goes, "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 very criterion will be decisive in your choice. So, Grozny, Tyumen, Kazan, Surgut are 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 importance. The same Krasnodar or Sochi were lit up almost everywhere: they are favorable both for doing business and for living 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. But you can pay more 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 have 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 very important. Don't forget to take into account who you are going to live with in the new place, so that their interests are also taken into account. 
And whatever city you choose to live in: your hometown or one of the five leaders in terms of quality of life, be sure to consider your preferences. Some people like large cities, with many "factories and ships", while others prefer a more peaceful life in the outback. Good luck with your choice!
Russia is not only a huge and hospitable country, but also a place where absolutely everyone can find an ideal home for themselves. Where is the best place to live in Russia? Our country is the largest in the world in terms of territory, so there is a lot to choose from. In fact, each person values his own in everyday life, so it is basically impossible to name a perfect place of residence. Although experts still found a way to determine which region of our country would be most comfortable for a person who values such factors as: the level of medical care, purchasing power, business development and average income. Thanks to this simple approach, the experts managed to identify the best cities in our country.
10th place. Tyumen
The tenth place in the hundred leaders is occupied by the city of Tyumen. As you know, Siberia is the very region where the citizens of our country did not want to live before because of the harsh and unpredictable climate. But over the years, the latter has changed significantly - now in these parts it is rare to find a cold and prolonged winter. Today, the city of Tyumen is considered not only the most beautiful place where it is better to live in Russia, but also the oil and gas capital of our country. Only 400 km separates it from Kazakhstan, while practically all transit trade between Siberia and China passes through the city. It is here that the largest amount of oil in our country is extracted and produced. And that is why in Tyumen things are so good with wages and so difficult with the environmental situation. It is worth noting that the previously small settlement is growing at a tremendous rate, today the population of Tyumen is about 680 thousand inhabitants, most of whom are Russians, despite the fact that the city is considered multinational.
9th place. Obninsk
Where is it better to live and work in Russia? This question is of interest to many citizens of our country today, but not those who live in Obninsk. Of course, this city today occupies only 9th position in the top hundred cities of the Russian Federation, but at the same time it has amazing qualities. The Kaluga region has always differed from other regions and regions of our country, and the city of Obninsk became famous for being recognized as the first "science city" of Russia in 2000. It was here that the very first nuclear power plant in the world was built, which began its work back in 1954. It is not for nothing that this city in the Russian Federation is considered the most "smart", because there are more than 10 scientific centers on its territory. At the moment, about 107.3 thousand people live in Obninsk, annually this number increases by 1000 new citizens. But the most important thing is that most of the population is highly educated people. If we talk about the climate, then mostly cold and snowy winters with humid and warm summers prevail here.
8th place. Ekaterinburg
Yekaterinburg will appeal to those people who prefer to live constantly on the move and in a large city. There is no need to talk about tranquility in Yekaterinburg, life in this village is in full swing. It is worth saying that this city is divided into several large districts, which seem to be delimited by an invisible line. Moreover, each of these regions will differ significantly from its neighbor. It is not surprising that it was Yekaterinburg that was included in the list of cities where it is better to live in Russia, because back in 1967 it received the title of a millionaire city, and since 2000 its population has been steadily growing. Despite the fact that it is predominantly inhabited by women (according to statistics, there are more of them than men, by 9%), the city still remains a large industrial center, as it was originally founded. About 200 of the largest enterprises employ a huge number of workers every day. It should be noted that the average salary in Yekaterinburg is about 30,000 rubles, which is 22% more than the average salary in our country. The climate in this city is temperate, but sharp temperature drops are common.
7th place. Podolsk
The southern direction of Moscow is where the city of Podolsk is located, which today proudly occupies the 7th step in the list of leaders. Where is it better to live and work in Russia? Of course, in Podolsk, because it is in this city that one of the highest wages in our country is paid. And given the fact that it is here that the railway and the highway run in the direction of Crimea, it can be assumed that in the future the city will develop even faster. The climate in the village is temperate and distinguished by its mildness. By the way, an interesting fact: it is here that the hour meridian passes, therefore, having moved from the western part of the city to the eastern one, you can be an hour earlier or later. Today, about 240 thousand people live here, although the number is almost constantly increasing. Geographically, this city is divided into 14 districts, so it is quite easy to navigate here even for a guest. The infrastructure of Podolsk is rich, but even if something is missing, this deficiency can be easily compensated for by the proximity of Moscow. There are no problems in this city in order to find a job, despite the fact that it is filled with new residents every day. And the salary, given that the city is located near the capital of Russia, is quite high.
6th place. Khimki
Where pensioners live well in Russia is in Khimki. And the point is not at all that there are high pension payments or there are certain benefits for this category of the population. Elderly people will like the fact that it is mainly inhabited by a population that is used to working and knows such a word as responsibility. Historically, the citizens of the city worked mainly in factories and were used to observing all the necessary rules so that the work of each worker was appreciated. The name of the city itself comes from the Khimka River, which flows nearby. Despite the fact that Khimki is located on the north-western exit from Moscow, it is quite comfortable to live here. The infrastructure is well established, the cost of utilities is low, the yards and alleys are well-groomed and clean, the city has a huge number of kindergartens and schools. In general, as noted above, this settlement will appeal to pensioners who value a calm and measured life in a large city. Although there are disadvantages, for example, traffic jams, which have become almost an integral part of the life of Khimki residents.
5th place. Irkutsk
An hour's drive from Lake Baikal is the beautiful city of Irkutsk, which in 2014 ranked fifth in the ranking of those places where it is better to live in Russia. This city is considered not only densely populated, but also multinational. About 613 thousand people live on its territory, and among them: Russians, Ukrainians, Germans, Belarusians, Buryats, Poles and others. The Irkutsk people are a secretive and strict people, as real Siberians are considered to be, but perhaps it is thanks to this that the city has flourished so much over the past few decades. Salaries in Irkutsk are not high, but this does not prevent citizens from working productively every day. And a huge number of factories and enterprises provide the residents of Irkutsk with an infinite number of jobs. Visually, it is divided into two parts by the Angara River, which flows through the entire city. A distinctive feature of the settlement from other large cities of our country is that in Irkutsk, private sectors are located even in the central part, which has long become a rarity. The climate here is rather harsh, so snowy winters and torrential rains in spring and autumn are common, which damage the infrastructure.
4th place. Domodedovo
It is not surprising that the experts had to work hard to determine the most comfortable cities in Russia, where it is better to live today. The city of Domodedovo began to be considered one of the best settlements in our country not so long ago. It is located south of Moscow and is practically surrounded by important highways. Winters are mild here and summers are humid, which makes living in this area as comfortable as possible. Salaries fluctuate around 36 thousand rubles, which, even taking into account the proximity of the region to the capital, is quite good. It is important to note that the ecological situation in the region is quite stable, and the city's population is constantly growing. At the moment, about 108 thousand people live in Domodedovo, mostly able-bodied citizens (about 67%). The infrastructure in the city is complex, but at the same time it looks clean and well-groomed. As in other cities of our country, here you can often get stuck in a traffic jam, and recently the situation with parking spaces has become more complicated. But the rest of the city is ideal for people who like comfort.
3rd place. Belgorod
Belgorod, which is famous for its standard of living throughout the country, is included in the top three. It is the residents of Belgorod who know where it is better to live in retirement in Russia, because there is simply no place for elderly people, except perhaps in the south, but the local climate, unfortunately, is not suitable for everyone. Belgorod is considered the cleanest region of our country, everything is planted with trees and even drinking water is supplied from underground sources. The population today does not exceed 380 thousand people, although in the past few years the mortality rate has been higher in this region than the birth rate. Mostly the city is filled with Russians, but you can often find people of a different nationality. As far as work is concerned, a huge number of enterprises and factories are located here, and the region itself is famous for the richness of its reserves in the bowels. The average salary is about 29 thousand rubles.
2nd place. Krasnodar
Where is it good to live in Russia? Reviews have shown that one of the most attractive regions of our country is Krasnodar. However, this is absolutely not surprising, because the capital of the Kuban is famous for its fertility and generosity. The climate here is temperate, although sometimes there are sharp temperature drops. For example, the summer in this region is getting hotter. The population of the city is a little more than 800 thousand people, but if we take into account guest workers, then Krasnodar could have long been renamed into a city with a million inhabitants. Although he may receive this status in the next few years, given the fact that the birth rate almost constantly exceeds the death rate. Located on the Kuban River, the settlement is divided into four administrative districts. It is worth noting that there are practically no large factories here, but there are no disruptions to jobs in the city due to the huge number of private businesses and small manufacturing companies. The average salary is about 31 thousand rubles. Where is the best place to live in the south of Russia? Of course, in Krasnodar!
1st place. Kaliningrad
Many Russians love the coastal cities of Russia. Where is the best place to live if you choose a place from the list of settlements located in this zone? In the first place in Russia today is the city of Kaliningrad, which is conveniently located almost in the very heart of Europe. Despite the fact that this settlement is located quite far from Russia, today many consider it the most successful and profitable region. Lives in Kaliningrad about 450 thousand people, with a very different nationality. The history of this city is complex and florid, but that is why here and today you can meet a variety of people. Despite the proximity to European countries, salaries here are low, on average about 25 thousand rubles. Basically, the city earns from shipbuilding and oil production, and there are also a lot of private companies that provide residents of Kaliningrad with work.
Crimea
Well, the last question that should be considered outside the rating is "where is it better to live on the Black Sea coast of Russia." Due to recent circumstances, not a single Crimean city has yet been included in the list of the best settlements in our country. But we can safely say today that this is not for long, because Crimea is a wonderful region that boasts amazing cities. Most likely, in the next few years, specialists will be able to appreciate the beauty of the Crimean coast and present at least one settlement of this region with the proud status of the best city in our country!

The frantic rhythm of the metropolis, eternal traffic jams, crowding in public transport ... I'm tired, I really want to go to a quiet and calm village where birds sing and grass rustles. This is the dream of a person who is tired of the bustle of the city. Another, a resident of a quiet village, aspires to a large and bustling city full of prospects and opportunities. How can you explain such a zeal for the move?
Everything is extremely simple, unfulfilled dreams that, as it seems to a disgruntled person, are pulling to the bottom. So people ask themselves the question of where to find their paradise, in which it will be soulful and comfortable, independent and promising, fun and drive. Numerology of cities can help in solving this issue: free online calculation. How to be successful in your chosen residence? - and this question will also be answered.
In order to make a numerological calculation, you need to give the letters a numerical value as follows:
We consider: 1 + 7 + 7 + 1 = 16 = 1 + 6 = 7. This number will be the number of the city.
Calculate the number of the city and find out what it means.
Enter the name of the city:
Unit city. It is hard for weak people to live in this city, as it will crush them, eventually leading to big problems, both material and moral. A weak-willed person will not be able to get out of here without the help of people of strong spirit, it is they who rule in this place, it is they who succeed, it is they who are lucky. Although there are failures and strong personalities, from time to time they are drawn to leave here, disconnect from problems, get away from the pressure of this city. However, they always return, because they cannot live differently - they need struggle, movement and a sense of satisfaction in achieving the goal set in this place - the dictator.
City of two. This city is filled with romance and love; kind and sympathetic people live here. You can come here alone and find your soul mate in a short time. It is good for communicative people here - work, constant communication, meetings and dates, but loners will feel like they are in a cage, surrounded by a bunch of caretakers who also crawl into the soul, pulling out even the innermost. But the energy of the city is so favorable that they are given a chance, and often more than one, to leave it. The city will easily let go of the determined people and suck in those who are afraid of action and decision. This settlement is full of surprises, pleasant for someone, not very much for someone - everything will depend only on the person himself.
City of three. Family people will be comfortable in this city. There will be a place here for children, adults and the elderly, as a favorable environment conducive to the birth and living of people who are optimistic, for whom the family is above all. If a person's goal is to earn money to provide for his kind, then the city will help in this in any way, for others it will be difficult here both in work and in relations with others. Therefore, the second group of people should not waste time on this city and move in search of their ideal place.
City of four. City-passivity, city-monotony. If a person is used to living quietly, calmly, measuredly, then he will be comfortable here, but active individuals will be cramped - this place will crush them with its boredom and cyclicality. It will not be comfortable here either, and for those who want to introduce some kind of innovation into the rhythm of this city, he will throw it out hard and painfully.
City-five. This is a place of contrasts, where it will be good for a thinker and a creator, a lazy person and a workaholic, a lonely person or a member of a large and friendly family. Here everything is possible for everyone, the city will accept and warm, but only for a short time, since it does not like to be lingered in it for a long time. He pushes those who try to take root by any means, and not always good ones. Therefore, in this place you should not start your own business, it still will not burn out.
City of Six. In this city, it is comfortable for working people who are not used to sitting idly by, since the field of activity is highly developed in it, so everyone will find work. Creative and business personalities will not be able to get along in this place, since they will not see prospects for the development of their business and creative ideas. The latter need to either make adjustments to their activities, or look for a new habitat.
City of seven. This city, with visible brightness and movability, is a loner, and therefore tolerates people like him, who know how to be happy on their own. Lonely people will find something to their liking here, which, moreover, will bring considerable income and, accordingly, a decent life. It will be difficult for a sociable and family man to survive in such conditions. Here is the place of conservatives and philosophers.
City-eight. If you are not used to sitting still, then in this city you will always find something to your liking - a lot of entertainment prepares a place of fun for you. It will be good for active individuals who know what they want from life, as well as for married couples and businessmen. It is the latter who will be able to make the city a paradise on earth, where everyone wants to come, and remain few, since, with all his hospitality, it is hard for new residents. Here you need to wipe yourself off and show your best side.
City-nine. In this city it is easy to get lost from the proposed perspectives and hard to find yourself, as it has some kind of mysticism and magic. There are always a lot of people here, but at the same time, everyone feels lonely and abandoned. Alas, this place of residence can be called temporary - realized and strive for more, otherwise you will remain in the same place with the same result, even if you go out of your way.
