Uncharted Russia - Krasnodar (now a city of a million)
I've been long willing to contribute to this forum, but now as I am preparing for my next trip to Philippines and reading all the great datasheets by 20Nation, DirectDanger and Scotian I am finally inspired.
I went to Krasnodar South of Russia for 3 weeks summer 2015. I hope information I've collected will be useful to some of you.
This datasheet is mostly relates to spring and summer.
Reasons to visit.
This January Krasnodar has crossed 1million people threshhold and is now one of 16 cities in Russia with 1m+ population.

It is concidered one of the cleanest and most comfortable cities for living in Russia and in 2015 it has again won the award.

It is located in the south of Russia so the summer is long and hot and the winter is less harsh.
Women are beautiful and somewhat darker than in the North of Russia, kind of mix between Russian and Ukrainian gene pool. Krasnodar is also ex cossack territory like Ukraine and I have come to a conclusion that cossack blood is what makes Russian girls so pretty.
Logistics, accomodation ans strategy.
Everything in the city revolves around one street. Ulica Krasnaja. It is a long and wide street which is closed for cars on sunday and saturday (in Summer for sure, I don't know about winter) and there are thousands of people walking it. Street artist performances take place and cossack change of guard ceremony happens there every sunday. It is worth seeing. So a perfect day game spot.
So you would want to live near Krasnaya street and somewhere around shopping mall Gallereja krasnodar. This mall is in the same area as most of nightlife at weekends and is good for day game. As well as the whole street on saturday and sunday.
As in all FSU nightlife is mostly busy at weekends.
I would say there are 2 closely situated nightlife areas in Krasnodar. (They are not exactly separated as there are smaller places in between) Area with conventional dance clubs, and area with bars and bar like Karaoke clubs.
If nightclubs are closed during the working week, some Karaoke places and bars are still open at late evenings throughout the week.
What I used to do was to come to one of the Karaoke places for some food around 9 PM, then eat and wait to see what happens. Some nights there would be a ratio of 10 girls to 1 guy (me), when some girls was celebrating a birthday or having a girls night out. It wasn't always so good but never was a ratio unfavorable.
I some what favoured Karaoke and bar area even through weekends as I am personaly not a big fan of Dance Nightclubs, girls in nightclubs tend to have bigger bitch shields, and everyones seems to act unnaturally.
Getting an appartment is very easy at this website http://www.sutochno.ru, it is very famous throughout russian speaking FSU. It is like a russian version of AirBNB. I've also used it in ukraine. It is cheaper than airbnb and has far more options in less touristy places like Krasnodar.
Don't come to Krasnodar in the middle of the summer as most people flee away to the coastline, come there in late spring or early summer. And then move to Sochi, Anapa or Novorossijsk together with the outflow of people.
Russia is great for travel now with ruble at its historical bottom but I am not sure low oil price a.k.a cheap ruble will last till summer. So you might as well come now in winter.
Transportation.
Taxi is dirt cheap. Use this website

You can also get an app. It is called taxi vezet. Cars will be random and mostly very cheap locally made, but you can go almost everywhere in the city for around 2 euros.
Language
I can not provide any information on that as i speak russian
In my 3 weeks there i have not once encountered an english speaker or heard any foreign speech.
Online game
Did not try any online game when I was there. Did not start using Tinder back then. But you can definately try vk.com as it is the mist populsr social network in that area.
My trategy and overview
I am not chasing nothes and normally if I visit the place I get several mini relationships. Both girls I've been banging washed my dishes as soon as they've entered my apartment and cooked me breakfast in the morning. Without me even asking. Girls from this seem like a good relationship material. Or I've just been lucky.
My strategy is normally meeting from one to three good looking and fun girls in one place and stop gaming. Then spend rest of time with them exploring surrounding area and letting them show me around. This has only one downside as some of them get too attached, since we spend much time together.
This is troubling me a bit. I am no feminist but I try to avoid hurting people. But that is a subject for another thread.
I've also had my best looking girl so far in Krasnodar HB 8.5 in my book. Bare in mind that I am extremely picky and had yet never seen a 10 in my life.
Krasnodar was perfect for me as I like gaming in Karaoke, I sing well and it instantly draws attention and gives me a huge DHV. Sometimes I don't even need to approach. And as you can see on a map there are lots of Karaoke places.
What you should do?
Come to Krasnodar in late spring. Live around Gallery Krasnodar shopping mall. On weekdays run daygame in the mall and go to karaoke and bar area in the evening. On weekend Run daygame on Krasnaja street and go to nightclubs. Find the best looking girl of your life and go with her to Sochi or Anapa when the summer comes.
