Novomoskovsk, Ukraine

Capital City

With a population of just 76,200, Novomoskovsk is a sleepy provincial backwater, far from the bright lights of Kyiv. The harsh winter climate and bureaucratic headaches are persistent challenges for those looking to call this place home. Though the historic Holy Trinity Cathedral is a local point of pride, the city's remote location 27 kilometers from the regional capital of Dnipro makes it an unappealing option for all but the most committed Ukrainians seeking an affordable cost of living.
