That is about early 90? Probably you are right, actually I have no idea about Moscow. At our home I remember small cities, villages, who was more into local market, went through it a bit more easy than big cities with their big, specialized factories, who lost their market. At least at beginning.
That is from the experience of my partner who left a city with a population of about 250,000 as a trained nurse and headed for Moscow leaving her son behind with her parents while she established herself.
