I live in Moscow, Russia. Some people in Europe still think that there are bears in the streets and people do nothing except drinking vodka. These are banal stereotypes but some people are quite right that Russia differs a lot from developed countries.Although I was told at school that Russia is developed country, I would say that it's country of the second world. Still, life here is a bit better than in Africa, at least I hope so because I've never been there to judge like this.
Life in big cities like Moscow and St Petersburg is not so bad. But if you came even to fringes of Moscow suburb, you would see that it's so depressing to live there. It usually takes its inhabitants 2-3 hours to get to work as many of them work in Moscow because it's nearly impossible to find a good job in suburb. I'm talking about towns near Moscow, so you can imagine what's happening in small Russian towns which are 200 km and more from here.
