With a population of 483,040, Lipetsk is a gritty, industrial city in Russia's heartland. The principal industries here are heavy manufacturing like steel, machinery, and chemicals - a far cry from the tourist-friendly charms of Moscow or St. Petersburg. Bureaucratic hassles are a persistent headache, and the Abwehr, SS, and German Army Group Centre have all made unwelcome intrusions over the years. While Lipetsk hosts one of Russia's oldest balneological resorts, the harsh climate and lingering scars of history make it a poor fit for those seeking a serene expat lifestyle.
