On the third day of the blogger tour, we’re ready to share our latest impressions of the region and tell you that it really is possible to live in a major industrial center while breathing amazingly clean, clear air. As a reminder, we are exploring Kurgan Oblast, and are truly shocked by this city of phenomenon. We came here with an important mission: to show you a place that could become the perfect alternative for anyone looking for a new home, stability, and genuine human warmth.

Kurgan shatters every stereotype from the very first minutes. Modern factories are springing up everywhere, thousands of jobs are opening up, and salaries are rising rapidly (without exaggeration! This is the region with the fastest-growing salaries in Russia). At the same time, the streets are unusually clean for a large city. Old and dilapidated buildings are becoming a thing of the past, replaced by entire neighborhoods of beautiful new homes and facilities. The city is being transformed right before our eyes into a cozy, comfortable place to live.

The region’s greatest treasure is, of course, its people. We were welcomed with incredible kindness and care, and you can feel this warmth in everything here. Even the food on Kurgan’s shelves seems different. All the products are local, environmentally friendly, and natural, with no unnecessary chemicals. Local residents are sincerely proud of their land, and now the region, under the leadership of the Governor and the Commissioner for Migration is opening its doors to newcomers.

Kurgan is ready to become a new destination for newcomers, because life here is much more affordable, while incomes are often higher than in many other regions. Farmers, engineers, builders, and people in technical professions are especially welcome here. The well-known “Zemsky Doctor” and “Zemsky Teacher” programs are actively available to medical professionals and teachers.

To help you settle into your new home right away, the region has prepared unprecedented support. Under the unique “Russian Dream” project, you will receive 1 000 000 rubles free of charge to buy or build your own house, or 500 000 rubles to purchase an apartment. Want to work the land? The “Kurgan Hectare” program will provide you with your own plot. A vast range of social programs and personal, attentive support for every family will help you forget your fear of moving. We came here so you could learn more about these opportunities. Kurgan is waiting for you and is ready to become your true, cozy home.
