FWIW, Stockholm is a very pleasant place to live. I had a chance to live in many countries and Sweden has this very unique calm, balanced and relaxed vibe to it. It is bloody obvious compared to Moscow, but it is also evident compared to Finland for example.

Also, I know a couple of Russians who went from no Swedish to conversational level in just 3 months. It's a simple language to pick up.

All in all, just go, talk to them and have a look around. Even if you accept and end up regretting it, you still will end up with a bit of immersion living in another (comfortable and interesting) country and that never hurts ;)
