Just move to a super rural area and you'll be fine

Well, good luck to them.

If they are rich, they can live in either St Pete or Moscow somewhat comfortably as long as they are lucky, for example, don't come down with something like Parksinsons disease or Cancer or something which Russia basically "keeps the patient comfortable" but does not treat like America and the West does. And I hope they enjoy 10 channels on TV, no Direct TV (though they can illegally pirate satelite TV from the west - welcome to Russia, in order to live normally you have to break the law to watch the tube!)

If they are not rich maybe they will live in a nice run down unplowed street small town (village) like this one and shop in one of the bodega sized grocery stores with mostly only cured meat and some fish.

Anyway, good luck to them, here is a pretty evenhanded view, not super positive or negative about village life.
