Would a game ordered from Russia work on a Vista home premium?
I'm considering ordering "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat" from Russia because translation generally takes away from a game and I think I would prefer it in Russian. So would it work if I tried to install it on my vista home premium?

by the game here and change the game options to russian
2 :
you will have to set your computer to Russian locale, which can be done under "regional and language settings" in control panel. Then there shouldn't be a problem when your playing.
3 :

The four features that really hamstrung the Provisional Government were: The establishment of the Petrograd Soviet (a council of worker's, sailor's and soldier's deputies) that was composed of socialist parties - notably, the Mensheviks, Left Socialist Revolutionaries and the Bolsheviks). This organisation held "Dual Power" with the Provisional Government and represented an alternative source of authority and political leadership. Russia's involvement in the war, especially after the failure of the July Offensive, this compounded many Russian's concerns about the war - Russia was doing very badly in the war and many wanted Russia to withdraw from the fighting. The land issue, many peasants wanted to own the land where they worked. They hoped that the Provisional Government would give them the land - it didn't, and many land owning aristocrats were still taking rents. Hunger, the Provisional Government failed to ensure that food supplies to the cities were maintained. Millions of peasants were now in the army and crops were not sowed or harvested. On top of this, the chaotic situation in the countryside saw the food distribution systems breakdown. Lack of legitimacy, this was possibly the Provisional Government's biggest problem. The government was mostly composed of the deputies from the last Tsarist State Duma, and, as such, had not been elected to office since the February Revolution. The Petrograd Soviet was elected - by workers, sailors and soldiers so was seen as a genuinely democratic institution. To make matters worse for the government the Bolsheviks began to call for elections to a Constituent Assembly - a new government for Russia. The government refused these elections until after WWI was over.

Can a woman on a visitors visa from Russia work in USA?
They will not give us Marriage visa because I am on disability but if she is working we will be able to get married.I know she must return to russia every six months to renew visitors visa but what can she do to try and get work?

No, anyone on a visitor's visa cannot legally work in the USA. And she can only stay six months, leave briefly and come back for another six months if immigration allows her to. There is no guarantee that she can return after a six month visit. If she's been denied an immigrant visa, this is something she may appeal. A lot depends on *her* ability to work. Living without being employed for six months at a time in the USA does not indicate her ability to work. Working overseas does indicate her ability to work, but she has to actually work overseas. This puts you between a legal hard place and a practical rock. I suspect she's been already denied an immigrant visa under 214(b) because you're on disability. If so, she may also be denied entry as a B-2 visitor because she's already demonstrated intent to live in the USA. Lots of variables and "what ifs" here. Since you may not be able to afford an attorney, the next best help could be Catholic Charities who are knowledgeable about immigration issues. Good luck.
2 :
No. No one on a visitor's visa can work. It is also likely that she will not be allowed into the US as ICE will think that she will marry you anyway and will overstay.
3 :
No, she cannot work on a visitor's visa and apparently you do not earn enough to be financially responsible for her here. Your only option would be for you to join her in Russia. She would be able to get a job there and if you can continue to receive your disability checks there, then you both could live fairly well in her country. Best of luck.
4 :
She cannot legally work on a Visitor's visa. If she is in the USA and you decided to get married, she does not need to go abroad and apply for a visa. You can apply for a process called "adjustment of status" (Green Card). Yes, you must be able to sponsor her (show that your income is at least above federal poverty guidelines).

NO, SHE CANNOT WORK IN THE USA WITH AN TOURIST VISA.

How would my cell phone plan work in Russia
How would my cell phone plan work in Russia?
I currently have a Verizon cell phone here in the US (Idaho) but in September I am moving to Moscow City, Russia to nanny for a family. I will be there anywhere from 6 months to two years, and I was wondering how the cell phone thing would work. Will my Verizon phone even work in Russia? I can't go out of the country without being able to keep in contact with my friends and family, but would I have to buy a cell phone plan there, or will this one still work there? Thanks!

Your phone will not work in Russia. You would not want it to. Using a US phone and a US plan in another country would cost more than a fortune. International calling is expensive whatever you use. Buy a notebook computer or netbook and plan on using email.
