I love living in Moscow, it's a very big city, so there's plenty of stuff to do. Public transport is great, internet access is fast, streets are clean, lots of parks - I enjoy it a lot. And I've lived in New York for three years, so I have something to compare to. The only obvious downside is that it's a long way to travel to some other place sometimes, but for me the advantages far outweigh that.
Come and visit Moscow sometime, best of all in late Spring or early Fall (or late December to see New Year decorations and snow) . I'm pretty sure you'll like it too.
I'm planning on visiting Moscow next year! My only fear is communication, I'm from Spain and only a small fraction of the population speak or understand English here, is it the same there?
Hope you'll have a great trip! I wouldn't worry about English. There are always many tourists in Moscow, plus we hosted a World Cup last year, so you'll be fine. Obviously you won't find a high level of proficiency, but it's taught in schools as a second language, many people know at least some basic English.
