Obviously Cambodia, for its glorious Communist legacy, duh.
Do expand on that bit, I'm intrigued.Yes, you are. You have that thing with national pride that makes your nation and identity deeply dependent on Russia. It is as if Russia and Russians suddenly cease to exist, Estonia and Yeekim will disappear the same microsecond as if they never existed.
This comparison doesn't take cost of living into account.
Estonian average HDI index is slightly higher than average Russian (0.882 vs 0.824), but if you analyze different Russian regions, then Moscow and St. Petersburg seem to have higher living standards than Estonian average. Didn't find data for Tallinn unfortunately so can't compare them. But let's consider St. Petersburg comparable since it's close and have almost four times bigger population

HDI in different Russian regions varies from best (Moscow, comparable to average Netherlands level) to worst (Tuva, comparable to Ukraine)
Good condo in Moscow, 60-100 square meters. Or small apartment in one of Moscow City skyscrapers, ~40 square meters.

Cheers. What about St Petersburg or other cities that aren't the main 2?
Very approximately, realty prices in St. Petersburg, Sochi and Vladivostok are about half of Moscow's.
Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Kazan - 1/3
Krasnoyarsk, Samara - 1/4
So, average salary in Moscow is about 20% lower than in Tallinn and consumer prices are 10% lower. Rent prices are much higher though.
Funny that crime index in Russia (according to this site) is lower than in Australia, France and Sweden and just a bit higher than in Canada.

Guess harder about the reason.
It is something about living your life, not the politics or wages.
You are obsessed with Russia. What else is to tell here? It is like paranoia or OSD, but on the collective level. Estonia is not the only one, so don't worry much. Except that Estonia has little else to do as a political entity. Just go on with your verbal charms against Putin, your evil deity, and your minimal wages will be fine.

American type pizza with Baltika 7 isn't to bad.
My Russian holiday plan more or less is probably going somewhere like Ufa and being drunk for a month.

Do this. And make a vlog.
Also, this reminds me of a famous limerick:
Spoiler :
It's not fair. Russian coming to NZ can get a visa for a year I can only get a month in Russia or jump through hoops and maybe get 90 days.
I know some of the Russian cities outside At Petersburg and Moscow can be a little run down in places but that's fine.
They're kinda show case cities, then you have real Russia. It's like Auckland here then you have the rest of the country.
Not planning on going to Norilisk, Asbestos city, or Chelymbinsk.

The author may be overestimating the performance of Medvedev's government as a factor in the resignation (it wasn't that bad IMO), but I agree with the general idea of the article. West's first reaction was almost a knee-jerk - "Putin is a dictator therefore he must be doing something dictator-esque even if we don't understand what it is exactly". In fact he is most likely preparing the country for power transition and wants his achievements to be secured after 2024. And yes, getting rid of unpopular figures such as Medinsky and Medvedev himself, was also likely important thing.
That's a TL;DR of the article and probably also true:

Alpha-capitalists rearrange their face guys. Putin legitimates it with his face. Bourgeois state continue to function as usual.

This is starting to be worrying, especially with EU also embracing Nationalism once again
When did the State history books start revising Stalin regime ?

This dose sound alarming.
Especially since it is more or less true. (Non aggression pact)

From today's news - Russia plans to raise 2 sunken Soviet nuclear submarines of Northern Fleet.
First one is K-27, another K-278 "Komsomolets". The plans are related to the upcoming research of gas and oil fields in Kara and Barents seas.
Komsomolets as reported earlier has been leaking radiation. But there's nothing to worry about, everything is under control.

This is a Cossack song from 19-th century. Lyrics is about a Cossack who is staying on a mountain and praying for people, truth, freedom and other things.@red_elk can You tell me something about this dance with sabers ? (Origin, backstory, what lyrics say) ?
It is utterly amazing !!!
In refrain it says "Don't be afraid of me, I won't hurt you", supposedly it's directed to Chechens or Dagestanis who were fighting against Russia in Caucasus war.
The saber dance don't have much background, it's a modern thing. From what I read Cossacks didn't practice anything like this as it's useless in real combat.
