Previously, the Russian played for the southerners in the 2018/19 and 2019/20 seasons. «The rich live well in America. Housing in the same Rockford, which no one knows about, was relatively cheap. For renting a normal apartment overlooking the stadium, I paid 1350 dollars a month. For comparison: renting a car cost me $ 1,150. That surprised me. In principle, I could sleep in the car. If you take the whole (state) of Illinois, then it is expensive there, especially with taxes.
