This former Soviet industrial town of 23,249 people offers little to entice foreigners. The Kant Air Base is a constant reminder of Russia's lingering influence, and the climate is a frigid continental affair. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with the local government once seeking to shutter the Russian military presence only to relent years later. For those unswayed by Soviet-era nostalgia or seeking a quiet, insular life, Kant holds little appeal.
