Moscow is the most expensive city in Europe and in the world with a score of 134.4. The appreciation of the ruble against the US dollar and the high residential prices increased the cost of living for expatriates in the city.

Great little article, we just came back from Bulgaria for our works Christmas party (we are a Bulgaria property Agent based in central London) were we stayed a few days in Sofia and wow. Its is very good value indeed, 23 of us went out to a traditional Bulgaria Restaurant for a meal, we had so many courses I cant remember the exact number but they just kept bringing us the food, its was all excellent and we all drank wine, larger and Rakia (a 60% proof spirit) that Bulgarians have with they traditional salad dish called Shopska, it was amazing and very relaxed and hospitable.
The meal went on for about 5 hours where we ate and drank as much as we wanted; the bill only came to around £280, so yes, and superb value.
The same can be said for the property prices you can purchase a very good quality new build apartment for a fraction of the cost of that in the UK and especially London.
I total agree with the article and I would expect that most people who have visited Bulgaria would agree with me.
