rice (0.9 kg) 25..45 roubles
milk (1 l) 20..25 roubles
white bread (0.8 kg) ~15 roubles
frozen chicken (1 kg) ~75..90 roubles

prices on vegetables depends on season:
summer/autumn:
cucumber (1 kg): 20..30 r
tomatoes (1 kg): 65..80 r
apples (1 kg): ~80 r
red pepper (1 kg): 120..140 r

winter/spring: you can double all prices

This is what we have in the center of Moscow. You will find lower prices further from the center in Auchan, Kopeika or Perekrestok supermarkets or small shops.

Theoretically Russians should know one of foreign languages - English, German, or French. They learn it in school. Practically they forget this language right after they graduate from school because there is no practice. Therefore most Russians don't understand English.

Yes they are friendly.

Hi, I'm Russian and I can meet you and help you for the first time of your being in Moscow. Living cost in St. Petersburg is a little bit lower.

Piter is cheaper than Moscow to live in.
Friendly, Hmm, if a total stranger who speaks a foreign language starts to speak with a New Yorker, will they always stop?

Generally Moscovites are friendly, but they are busy, but they do try to help. Outside of the main center, they are more laid back and friendly.

Moscow is the most expensive city in Europe and in the rest of the world, for the second year running, with a score of 134.4 (compared with 123.9 in 2006). Embarassed
