Shepetivs'ka, Khmel'nyts'kyy

High score (8-10)

Shepetivka is a railroad junction city of about 35,000 in the north of Khmelnytskyi Oblast — it's the setting of Ostrovsky's Soviet novel 'How Steel Was Tempered' and locals know this and reference it with a degree of civic pride that's unusual for a town this size. The rail connection gives the city more throughput than its population suggests, and a branch university keeps some younger residents in town. Social life is modest but functional; women here tend to be practically minded, and a foreign man with a stable income and a clear reason for being in the area can build genuine connections if he puts in the time. Not a destination in itself, but workable if the north of the oblast is where you need to be.
