I visited 5 cities while in Russia, Moscow, Saransk, Saint Petersburg, Samara and Kazan and I can tell you I had a great experience everywhere; people was very friendly and helpful, the food is amazing, Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Kazan are very beautiful cities with European and middle eastern influence and yet very americanized; you can find a lot of american chains everywhere, american vehicles, american music etc. On topic, I really hope Innv gives you everything you are waiting for, it's a great company so I see no reason for your strategy to fail.
