With a population of just 67,290, Kalush is a small industrial city in western Ukraine that offers little beyond chemical plants and concrete factories. The Carpathian foothills provide a scenic backdrop, but the region's harsh winters and persistent bureaucratic headaches make this an unappealing destination for most expats. The city's Jewish community was all but wiped out during World War II, and today Kalush has an ethnically mixed population that includes Ukrainians, Poles, and a shrinking minority of Jews. Unless you have a specific need to be in this part of Ukraine, there are far more vibrant and livable cities to consider.
