          And this is true even if home is in the taiga in Siberia, down along the Volga or beyond
          the Ural mountains. Russians in the major metropolitan areas and the larger cities live in
          high-rise apartment buildings, whereas those in the rural areas tend to live in
          single-family homes. A drive through <span xml:lang="ru" class="bold"><strong><span

          glimpses of those homes which are usually wooden, single-story and often brightly painted
          and decorated. Quite a contrast to the concrete monsters in the major urban areas!</p>
        <p>Housing, whether in terms of quality or quantity, has always been a problem in Russia and
          continues to be so today. The recent move toward privatization has made it possible for
          some Russians to buy their apartments from the government; others must continue to live in
          government-owned and subsidized housing. For the foreign buyer, while supply might exceed
          demand, real estate prices in Moscow and St. Petersburg proper rival those in cities such
          as New York, London and Tokyo. But many Russians still find themselves in situations where
          multiple families have individual rooms in a <span xml:lang="ru" class="bold"
