Sure Moscow or St Parkersburg and nice to live if you are a Zed or apolitical and maybe is great if you are an violent abuser since now is almost legal to beat your family if you ensure you do not break their bones. Just ensure your kids do not say soemthing bad about the army or KGB then you might have to pay.
Did you do your mandatory military service or you bribed you way out of it ?
That information is 20 years out of date now, a random small town will be quite livable and often rich in culture and history.
Of course it is not comfortable to live in a country if you oppose the core value of its people. Just go to Ukraine if Zed makes you throw a fit. What holds you.
So all the fuzz about "hell" izz mizzguided.
