I just got this post from a gentleman offering me a job in Stavropol (at ~$350/month):
RUSSIAN CAPITAL NAMED MOST EXPENSIVE, MOST DANGEROUS CITY IN EUROPE.
Moscow was named the most expensive city in Europe and the
second-most expensive in the world after Tokyo in a study conducted
by Mercer Human Resource Consulting, nns.ru reported on 16 June.
Geneva came in second and London placed third among European cities.
The study was based on 200 indicators, including the cost of real
estate, transportation, food, and clothing. According to another
Mercer study in March, Moscow was named the most dangerous capital in
Europe, nns.ru also reported. In that study, Moscow was found to be
an even more dangerous place than Harare, Zimbabwe, despite that
country's ongoing civil unrest. VY
