Eternal disputes about Muscovites and non-Muscovites have been going on, probably, since the Grand Duchy of Moscow “crushed” all the surrounding feudal states under itself. But seriously, you can never confuse a native of the capital and a native of some regional center – life attitudes, attitudes and behavior are too different. And it's not about what's better or worse. Just two different realities with their pluses and minuses, which may overlap in some ways, but in most cases exist in parallel. Not even arrogance, but self-confidence. In general, Muscovites quite firmly feel the ground under their feet. They are well aware of their rights and are ready to defend them, sometimes even in a rather harsh form, while a resident of the region would prefer to give up or try to “negotiate”. This applies to communication with officials, law enforcement agencies, administration of institutions, solving various issues in everyday life. For example, a Muscovite with a 90% probability will not tolerate the rudeness of a salesperson in a store and will not put up with poor service in a restaurant. Named the best city in Russia for life: results of a survey of citizens. 
1. Insolence is the second happiness
2. Public transport as salvation
Today, a car in Moscow is more of a problem than a means of transportation. Exhausting traffic jams in the mornings and evenings, the need to pay for parking and the inability to stumble even in the second row in your sleeping area are serious arguments in favor of the metro and buses. The public transport system in the capital is well developed, new routes appear with enviable regularity. It turns out that a Muscovite does not particularly need a car. Many use it only on weekends for trips to the country or for groceries, but now you can travel long distances using carsharing. In the regions, on the contrary, owning a car is convenient and practical, and often an indicator of a certain status of the owner. fs.tonkosti.ru/sized/f550x700/1c/wv/1cwvhvndybvosc0wsoscgkkgo.jpg” media=”(max-width: 549px)”> Platon Matakaev on Unsplash
In Moscow, due to a catastrophic lack of time, people cannot afford to often cook pickles, sometimes there is no strength for ordinary scrambled eggs. They often leave for work at 7 am and return at 9-10 pm. With such a frantic schedule, it is logical to get by with a business lunch at lunch and a snack in a cafe in the evenings, or even grab something on the go in a fast food establishment. It takes a lot of money to do this, and if you add endless coffee to go, you get a completely indecent amount. In the provinces, it is customary to go to restaurants on special occasions, and not just because there is nothing to eat at home. And certainly no one will throw so much money down the drain. There are 4 airports in the capital, from where you can fly to anywhere in the world, and hundreds of competing travel agencies. This is probably why Muscovites travel cheaper than residents of other regions. However, the main factor is income. In Moscow, even with an average salary, it is quite realistic to save up for holidays a couple of times a year at inexpensive resorts, in the provinces people often have other problems and expenses. artplay.ru
Not knowing your neighbor on the landing is about a typical Muscovite or someone who is already firmly entrenched in the Mother See. Here people quickly become individualistic and focus exclusively on their own problems. Due to the huge distances and constant employment, a banal trip to visit must be planned a month in advance, and it is not particularly customary to visit someone in his home. Basically, meetings are scheduled on neutral territory, so that it is convenient for everyone to get there. And they are not allowed to enter their doorstep because they often live with neighbors or relatives in small apartments. Normal housing in Moscow costs a lot of money, and not everyone can afford it. It just so happened that the most restless, active and energetic people tend to the capital. These people just can't go with the flow. Hence the constant rallies, protests, pickets, movements from the series “we are against …” and “until …”. In general, this is good – the authorities do not relax and are constantly looking for a compromise with those who disagree. In the outback, the population is more passive. A separate story with all sorts of creative communities and newfangled teachings. In Moscow, art facilitation and energy practice coaches (who are these people?) earn good money by promoting their crazy ideas to the masses. And in the provinces they don’t even realize that you can attract cash flows into your life with the help of theta-healing. It's for the best, probably. NVO The business environment in Moscow is more aggressive and dynamic. Due to the presence in the capital of representative offices of a number of international organizations, it even approaches the western one in some aspects. For successful work and building a career, you need to constantly be in good shape: develop, learn, build relationships with colleagues, and skillfully calculate moves in office games. Because of this, people are in tension and experience a lot of stress. Of course, this affects the character – a person becomes cynical and tough. In the regions, everything is simpler: the atmosphere in companies is “soulful” and relaxed, issues are resolved slowly, often everything rests on personal connections and tacit agreements.
