Well it's not warm and not tax-free, but US dollars will go a long way in Russia.

I was there this Summer and the best apartment in Kazan will set you back about $250 US/month. If you smoke, about $0.50/pack. Drinks? Forget about it.

Corruption? Rampant.
Streets? Reinforce your shocks.
Hot water? Learn to enjoy cold showers.
Customer service? Unheard of.

But ...

Women? Awesome.
Night life? Very good, but don't expect much in terms of decor.
Traveling? You are closer by air to anywhere in Europe with direct flights from the major cities.

Oh, did I mention the women?
