Thread: I need help with plans for emigration to the Russian Federation.

That does NOT add up with my understanding of average incomes in Russia...

Maybe your understanding of average income in Russia is out of touch with reality. Hint: study the tax system.

On the subject: I know loads of retired Britons who have made Egypt their home. So why not retire and come to Russia, what's wrong with that?

That is a very attractive idea. But by the time I retire Russia might be as expensive as the rest of Europe.
I hear it's not very cheap at the moment although perhaps cheaper than Scandinavia or the UK.

It's pretty cheap unless you want to live in Moscow, St. Petersburg or any other large city.
You can go to some rural area and live there. For pennies. (bring those pennies with you though).

And everything you'd like to buy for them as well, lol
