Russia is a very interesting country. i would love to go there soon. I wonder how strict their government is in accepting foreign tourists.

No problem as long as you meet their criteria for their Visa requirements...great place to visit...I am going again to see the football World Cup in June next year...and also to visit Moscow St.Petersburg and Nitzny Novograd.....can't wait even if I am going 'solo'

Well , the government is like any other government. They welcome tourists from any party of the world.

Hello! I'm a native Russian from Saint-Petersburg.
I'd like to meet new people. Would be glad to help, if you need any information.

Hello Vladimir! My name is Julia. I live in Texas and am hoping to move to Russia in a year or two. I work for Regis Corporation, they have lots of hair salons all over the world. What do you, as a Russian, feel that I should do before the move? I am working on Russian and  Cyrillic off of YouTube, trying to narrow down the sites.

Thank you very grande !)

As a Russian who is an expat in China will give you 1 advice... just pay for a good offline dictionary/translator and learn numbers + simple words such as "excuse me, yes, no, toilet, how much, left, right, straight ahead, money" . Install/add a Cyrillic keyboard on your phone.  download 2GIS (free offline maps) and enjoy your life.

Julia, you're right. First of all you must know Russian language. If it is possible establish new contacts or find people/friends as a support for first time. It is necessary to have a clear idea how to make your living.
