Rent prices in Moscow are they falling to normal levels at all?

Depends on what you can normal. For me they are "outrageous" and if they went down 20% they would still be pretty high.

I agree see

certainly they are rediculous  i dunno  people must be just as silly to pay the prices ( why do they do it? ) ah Moscow pretend land ! you can rent an old dump in the small cities for 1/3rd what you people get skun for in Moscow  ( why do people want to live in Moscow ?? )

Nothing special just overpriced to hell  like living in Sydney or New York etc etc  -- i lived 13 weeks Moscow in 2004 --- i hated every day of it, but i had to stay in the dump for contract work .
you had your hand out passing money 24 /7  they all on the ''bite ''/ scam / everythings got $$  attached to it  ! amazes me!!!  ok iam semi retired very well off man - i could easy buy very nice apartment in moscow cash   - but id never do it ! because then your one of them ''predator '' you know !

Big cities = crap  live in amongst the sirens  the cops the crime  the tarts -- everything wrapped in scam !that don't spell honesty =  no thanks  - what? people want to pay for deceit ? how really dead strange !
big cities are for slaves ( human zoo )

Russias  a great place to live  but in my book  the smaller the city  the quieter / the better---  live a lot damn safer  too !  glitzy city - its crap  false - smoke and mirrors  - at the end of the day its all crap cost you $$   for what  purpose?
 
To swim with the slime?  Moscow  if it was gone the smart ones living in bush cities would never miss it ! I met plenty of reality russians in small cities that told me they'd not give me 3 kopeks to live in Moscow  - its not the real Russia they said ! its pre - fab 1/2 westernised - if you took all that out of it  she'd be back to wooden wheeled cabbage carts within a week!

Take out all the jap and korean cars---  have a look what you are left with ?  not much huh --  a parade of lada's  not more ! but the lada's belong,  the rest are intruders !

The western ways of EXCESS its killing Russia, thats a fact !! Russias  adopting a demon that nobody there can afford ! - not for the long term eh!
ps
you know where the westerners are that arrived to live in Russia  5 years back and they were Rich ----they are in the small cities!  and they still have the $$ !! they arrived with  -you know why!!  because big city didnt suck em in  - they live in small cities - they got more money that the local mayor with 5k in pocket  - rich man / small town - rich man he's got the power.

maybe i got it wrong, maybe the people on here go to Russia to work ?? whom would trade in AUD/ USD FOR RUB ( 30% OF OUR DOLLAR SO YOU BUST YOUR GUTS FOR 70% LESS A WAGE THAN YOU WOULD IN WESTERN COUNTRY  YOU'D HAVE TO BE MAD ))) ahh i dont need to work? i got enough $$ last me till iam 95  !so i go to live -- just sit back relax with a lovely, and do absolutely nothing !  thats the life !
