Geography
The world's largest country by area, spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia across eleven time zones, with enormously varied terrain and climate from Arctic tundra to temperate plains and steppe.
Economy and Key Industries
Energy exports (oil and gas), manufacturing, and construction are major employers, with significant regional variation in wages and demand between Moscow/St. Petersburg and the rest of the country.
Foreign Worker Population
Russia has historically drawn a substantial labor-migration workforce, particularly from Central Asia and the wider CIS region, into construction and manufacturing.
Lifestyle for Foreign Workers
Climate varies enormously by region — cold winters are the norm nearly everywhere, with genuinely extreme cold in Siberia. Cost of living is considerably lower outside Moscow and St. Petersburg.
