Based on Minsk's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
It's very fun and green city in summer and quite dark and cold during winter time. Old town is beautiful and cozy, fast internet, few coworking spots.

Cost of living information is very accurate, even surprised me :D But I can't agree with couple Cons. As mentioned in the older review, pretty much everyone speaks english, only some older folks (40+) doesn't. It's true that LGBT community isn't very popular, but I would not say that it's hostile. Lithuanians indeed are a bit closed in, but that's only till the first drink, then everyone becomes besties. If you struggle with making friends visit "Dzem P

Kiev is a diamond in the rough in Eastern Europe in that regard. Regarding the people, you have super-friendly young people, and more macho-type tough demographic.

Personally I think it's Ukraine's best city and I found the cost of living value ratio to be superb. The co-working space I went to (iHub) had a good mix of locals and foreign digital nomads.

Russian is preferred language even through there is a very strong anti-Russia/anti-Putin sentiment in the city, and rightfully so.
