I hear that this is misleading, and that the cost of living in Moscow is much worse than it appears. In fact, there was recently a CNN report on this. Despite Russia's embrace of capitalism, some items still can't be found without going to the black market, and this is difficult to track and include in the above statistics. From reports I have read, foreigners who live in Moscow discover this rather quickly.
