What do people like (and dislike) about Moscow?

"Expats and digital nomads living in Moscow, often like the city's rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant cultural scene. They appreciate the efficient and affordable public transportation system, which includes the metro, buses, and trams. Moscow offers a wide variety of restaurants, cafes, and bars, catering to diverse tastes and budgets. The city also has numerous parks and green spaces, providing opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation. On the other hand, expats and digital nomads may dislike the harsh winters and cold weather that Moscow experiences. The language barrier can be a significant challenge, as not everyone speaks English, and learning Russian can be difficult. The cost of living in Moscow can be high, particularly for housing and some goods and services. Traffic congestion is a common issue, and air pollution can be a concern. Additionally, some expats may find it challenging to navigate the bureaucracy and complex visa regulations in Russia. Finally, cultural differences and the political climate may be off-putting for some individuals," said another expat in Moscow, Russia.
