Almost 17 millions of of Russian citizens live in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Most of other live in other large cities with over a million population like Ekatirinburg, Novosibirsk, Kazan, Samara, Oms, Ufa, Nizhny Novgorod etc. The most of Russian territory is unpopulated, and almost all the people live in big cities. It's not like a "storey America" because of the shitty cold climate here. Course Moscow is not the average Russia, like NYC is not the average USA, however there is almost no people left in the villages.
As about my salary. I'm working in the internet since 1996 (in 1997 I've got my first contract as a senior developer in the US company) so it (the salary) does not depend on the place of my living. I can live anywhere but I really love Moscow. I was born in other city and came to Moscow when I was able to earn enough money to live here.
