I've been to many and wasn't able to stand more than a couple of weeks there, because I always wanted to get back home. For example I love an ocean and tropical beaches. However, if I stay there more than a week, I'm always getting bored. Moscow is a fantastic city where it's just impossible to be bored. A friend of mine who lives 1500km away from here, have told me the following: "the people in Moscow walk as fast as I run" 
P.S. I don't know a single Russian oligarch who has moved to Czech Republic. Most of them prefer London. Because life in London is very similar to life in Moscow, but London is not controlled by Putin and his mafia. Those people just seek for a similar life but outside of the Russian jurisdiction (in case if they have some conflicts with the local "elite"). |
Its not hard to get a work visa in Russia. Like anything else there it's about paying the right amount of bribe money. See here in the developed world you just need to follow the right steps for a visa and you'll get one.
Moscow is great if you want awful techno, ludicrous sushi fusion restaurants, and gold diggers everywhere. Moscow has two good things going for it. One is the historical architecture and the other is the metro, which is again mostly for the architecture.
When it comes to modern culture (theater, music, comedy, etc.) give me NYC any day of the week.
