<p>It literary translates to:</p>

<p>就  那   样  吧 =
<em>"And that like !"</em> or <em>"Thus that like !"</em></p>

<p>where 吧 is a kind of "!" sign.</p>

<p>So in human language it should be something like this: "And like that!" or "Aaaand it's like that. Do it!" or "Thus (it should) be like that!"</p>

就那样吧 is the same as 也就那样吧 in this case, which is a colloquial phrase, not an idiom.

It means: "just so-so", "it's just ok", "things going just like that".

It conveys her life in Moscow is not that good, or not as good as she — or someone else — expected.

You can take it as a shortened form of 生活就那样吧 or 生活也就那样吧.

There are two senses in which it's used:

It literary translates to:

就 那 样 吧 =
*"And that like !"* or *"Thus that like !"*

where 吧 is a kind of "!" sign.

So in human language it should be something like this: "And like that!" or "Aaaand it's like that. Do it!" or "Thus (it should) be like that!"
