What are the prices in Russia?

Pretty cheap at the moment senpai, you will get a lot of ruble for your capitalist pig currency and while there is inflation, prices haven't fully adjusted to the new rate.

What part of Canada are you from? Moscow to Novgorod is north of the tree line, so it would be like most of Canada outside the prairies.

It depends what type of living standards and culture shock you want. Moscow is kind of normal by western standards. Kazan to Volgograd gives a better feel of the country.

Moscow is pretty expensive, almost like regular western levels. Other than St. Petersburg, everything would be a lot cheaper. If you want western standards, you're paying western prices. If you're willing to go local, things get really cheap. Average Russian lives off of $400 a month.

I have been going there since the 90's. I rent apartments right in Red Square area. Cheaper and you can buy and prepare your own food in the kitchens. Most 5 star hotels would be 3 stars to westerners. Domo and Sheremet Airports do have trains that can take you to Moscow and the Metro subway.

Why Nizhny Novgorod? I'm curious because I actually went there for a weekend when I was staying in Moscow. We just wanted to go somewhere and there were no trains to St. Petersburg.

I wouldn't really recommend it. It was cool to see the less western side of Russia I guess, but there was not too much to do there (that we found).
