Michael Grant asks: I am considering a job transfer that would bring me to Kaluga for as many as 3 years. What would be the approximate cost, per month, of a "high priced flat". Also, would I be able to obtain a driver's license to operate my own car? Thank you for your help
Expert's answer:
I have found the following list of apartments available for rent in Kaluga. This service to translate from Russian. You can drive a car if you have your international driver's license with you. Also you will need to have notarized translation of your license to Russian language.
henk asks: How safe is it to drive by a foreign car in Russia?
Expert's answer:
In general I can say that it is a trip for experienced traveler preferably with the knowledge of Russian language because Russian roads are rather dangerous due to numerous factors. The roads are mainly narrow and of low quality, a lot of drivers do not follow the rules, there is a lot of aggression on the roads too.
