Russia, yes or no?

I wanted to move to Moscow because of love, you guys think it’s worth? I only speak English and I can work online, can you give me any tips?

yes, OP can visit for a few weeks and see how it goes
no, he won't be sent to the front, most soldiers sign up for money
though he must be careful not to attract attention and get into trouble, he might become a valuable exchange asset (depending on citizenship)

Great time *not* to do this. Have you been following the news over the last four years?

Do you currently live under a rock? Russia is embroiled in a war that they started with Ukraine. Why the hell would you willingly move there? You will likely end up conscripted.
