Irkutsk 🇷🇺 is a unique Siberian city near Lake Baikal, offering affordable living and a strong local vibe. For digital nomads, it has decent cafes, coworking spots, and reliable urban infrastructure, though winter is very cold ❄️ and English is limited. Great if you want culture, nature, and a budget-friendly base.
