never was there. Never plan to go there either.
Young people are trying to get out of there.
Joshua Ramirez
It's a Nordic white utopia
Jason Bell
Actually Northern Russia is filled with gypsy looking people, specially Murmansk region.

So what makes Stalker cozy and Norilsk depressing?
Brayden Myers
Nature taking over the surroundings.
Forests and plants.
Rains that you sit out in some half collapsed building with your fellows and playing guitar
Ryder Davis
Stalker is industrial, Norilsk is sterile commieblocks. Industrial Siberian towns all have that Stalker vibe, some even have Silent Hill vibes because the designer loves Russia and used Russia industrial places for inspiration.

I spent 3 months in Syktyvkar working for Mondi and teaching English. I was so close to flying up to Vorkuta. This was right before their mine explosion in 2016.
Kayden Turner
I'd still rather live in Australias worst Noonga reserve than Norilsk.

It's slowly being abandoned because of those conditions and economical reasons. Soviets pointlessly tried to colonize the Far North, and in 90's it turned out that most of those colonized regions are not profitable, so they are dying now. And that's okay. There are much less people living in northern Canada and Alaska than in Russian Far North.

Trapping yourself in the commieblocks?

However regions around Salekhard are Novyy Urengoy booming because of oil and gas. I would work there if I could get a job there.

It's true, that's why i said "most of those", not "all of them"

Looks comfy. Norwegians wouldn't survive in Finland
Sebastian Cruz
Nothing alcohol can't fix.
Josiah Campbell
There are lots of immigrants from Azerbaijan
Adam Cox

Sounds comfy as fuck. The pollution I can do without though
Blake Lee
Bring it on

Norilsk is actually not that bad, especially if you like snow. The only thing that truly ruin it are fucked up ecology and nature.
So better to live near Chernobyl, it is warmer, cozier, healthier and comfier.
