I'm seriously contemplating moving to Russia, any ideas where I should move to and how expensive it is to live there? I am unsure what all steps I need to a Visa (or whatever is needed). Also what city would be best to move to (most jobs, more English speaking people and such).

Aren't they opening their doors to immigrants? Also I dunno I find Russian women sexy.

But no reason in particular I could just as easy move to any other country but I dunno I'm just playing with the idea nothing concrete. Also I can't move to Canada I have a felony so I'm pretty much not allowed there.

Well nothing IS concrete I do plan moving out of this country, and Russia is my first choice. I just figured since most people here are from EU they would have a better understanding of how Russia is. I guess I should have said I am seriously contemplating moving out of the country instead of Russia. I apologize for giving you mixed feelings.

DO NOT move to Moscow. It is seriously overpriced if you want to live in the city. It's built like a spiderweb, with the center being the Kremlin and clogged with BMW's and Bentley's. Expect to pay 20 bucks for a beer and stay in $500 a night hotels. You can move a few kilometers out of the city but you'll be living with people who still use donkeys as a means of conveyance.

Suicide rate issue is mostly associated with familial issues due to the absurdly high alcohol abuse there iirc...

Ouch, that is a lot of money. Uh well I guess I can always look for some other place to move. Seems like the economy is pretty unstable and such from what I read and seen here. But it will be difficult moving somewhere with a felony -.-.

Have you ever been out of the country, spoken other languages. It can be very frustrating when simple things don't work how your used to.

Go visit for a month or two before making the move.

Well when I was 13 I was messing around with a girl from school (she was 12, and by messing around i mean only 2nd base shit). Apparently it's illegal and because she was under 13 (look up the Michigan Law) I got fucked by the government. The prosecuter was an ass hole and though i was scum and treated me as such. I got probation and got put on that lovely list. I started registering 2 months after I turned 15. It's fucked up I know. I'm 24 now and can't find a good job because of it. I'm not ashamed of it because I was only a kid but still...people think i'm some child molester when they see me on there.

That is fucking retarded. Seriously...statutory rape (and similar) laws are pretty damn fucked up wherever you are. I think in my state, if you're 2 years or less older than the person in question, assuming they're over the age of like 10, they call it a wash, but if an 18-year-old gets with a 14-year-old, he'd get a statutory rape charge (which I think, for a certain year difference range, is only a misdemeanor).

Hell, if both parties are over the age of 10, nothing is inserted into any orifices, and consent is provided, I personally think all that stuff should be called a wash.

Edit: fail skim is fail on my part sorry.

I'm from Ypsilanti, it sucked there too. I actually don't live in Michigan anymore though, I moved when I was 19 than I moved again to go to college in Arizona and now I'm living in Kentucky. I cant find any where that I like here in the states.

*edit* I've been in Down Detroit only once, and it was during an Aliya and Jay-Zee concert. No police there at all to control the traffic so there were people driving all over the place to get around everyone. It was crazy.

IIyx is right.
Russia is the place where people not common with the foreigners.
Have problems with immigration from southern countries, so sometimes you can see national arguments.
Also language. I don't think that many Russians can speak English free. Also see many foreigners who talk English without warring that someone could understand them. Oh... How much dirty talks I heard.
Big country with big problems. Like we say: "think twice before doing it"

Yeah, also about apartment problem in Moscow prices really high. Could be like 500k $ for 3-room (+bath, loo, kitchen).
Huh... I hope that after finical crisis companies and people will lose money and prices will go down.

I actually agree. Sweden sounds like the place for you. Lots of hot chicks and people speak pretty good English over there. The language isn't too hard to grasp, and the people are real friendly over there.

It's pretty cold, but nothing too bad and since you were willing to move to Russia, it should be even warmer in Sweden.

Don't move to Finland as it's colder than Sweden and the language is real difficult for foreigners to learn. I usually never admit Sweden is better at anything than Sweden, but this time I will have to as it's clearly the better choice for a person like yourself.

They let tons of immigrants in, so you being a white American shouldn't have too much of a problem even if you have a felony :D
