Hey Mokus, what kind of opportunitys do you have there for what we would call homesteading?
Just going off into open land and building a home or farm to live on.
My impression of Russia is that there is still vast open woodlands and forests that could be settled.

really don`t understand your question, if you want modern house with all with modern comforts you`ll need to build house in downtown, if you want russian vast expanses and comfort you`ll need to find something interesting, a friend of mine find it here http://wikimapia.org/#lang=ru&lat=49.650543&lon=40.617721&z=16 hills, flax meadows, good outstanding homestead (with magistral gas, electricity, good road) nice hunting nearby. In september we go http://wikimapia.org/#lang=ru&lat=64.407266&lon=35.019801&z=16&m=b live for some weeks in fishmens hut in real wilderness with anything only camp led lamps - real fishing for salmon, hunting for goose and seal, but I prefer south downtown of Moscow nearby Gerard Depardieu house :crossfingers:

I meant "off grid" type living. Just build yourself whatever you want to live in.
How is ownership of the land determined in undeveloped areas, do you have to buy it or is it something you can claim as your own if you live there long enough?

I was just curious to know how easy it might be for Russian people like us to go off grid and start anew. Away from cities and all.
