"Before retiring in Russia, expats should familiarize themselves with the local language and culture. It is also important to research the cost of living in the area they plan to retire in, as well as the availability of healthcare and other services. Additionally, expats should make sure to obtain the necessary visas and permits to live and work in Russia.
