Do you know of any programs where I can spend the summer living/working in Russia?
I'm about to finish my MBA and would like to go to Russia before I begin working. I already have semi-fluent language abilities, but want to go there to improve my language skills and visit the country that I have been studying for the last couple of years. Does anyone know of any reputable programs where I can go work/volunteer/study for the summer (or maybe just a couple of weeks)? Food, lodging, safety, and low-cost are my main concerns (I'm a poor college student). Any suggestions? The only programs that I have been able to find are only for current students that will be applying the experience towards a college degree (I will have graduated by then).

I am in the same situation as you are. Graduation are mere months away from completion and I as well wish to go to Russia. The best solution I found for this want is through Cross Culture Solutions. This program takes care of lodging, traveling, and etc. The catch is you volunteer your time to help with the children. But that's the only reason why I am joining, to help the children. Spare time is given to you to utiliza on your own time as for you to discover Russia on your own. Not only will you be helping children, but also enjoying Russia. Here is the website: http://www.crossculturalsolutions.org/where_you_can_go/russia/default.asp Hope this finds your interest well. - G

Try searching through www.goabroad.com They often have a lot of programs with Russia. It would also be possible for you to go there to just teach English for 20 hours a week and have a lot of free time and money to travel around and see places.

What kind of Space Programmes Does Russia Possess Right now to Respond to US Laser Weapons in Space for 2020.?
Is Russia working on Any new type of Space Weapons with Laser like the US? Is the New T-60s Jet Bomber that Russia was working on, is it in Military Use right now. Did they ever showcase this Jet rather than Keep it as Classified Information?

Russia is building up it's military, but I'm more worried that they would hand off suitcase bombs to terrorists for surreptitious transport. Western European and North American paranoia aside, Putin is probably more interested in the activities of China, Iran, and the rest of the local neighborhood.

T-60s is no bomber. The T-60 was a scout tank, from WW2, which was tested for deployment as a glider by putting some wings on it. This project was called Antonov A-40. Tu-60S would be a possible bomber made by Tupolev. But that designation is not used. The next possible is the rather classic Tu-160 bomber, which is what the B-1A should have been before they cut it to the B-1B. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-160 Also, Russia does not work on space weapons, as far as they are meant to be stationed in space. They refine their existing anti-ballistic missile designs and ASAT systems. Also possible is an revival of their nuclear powered ocean surveillance satellites, which are also military in nature. Finally: That the US are meant to work on such things is not a sign that they actually have a need for them, but just that the government thinks, it is cool. It is just a new way to throw tax payers money to the US industry. PS: Russia does not have suitcase bombs. Just like the US too, it was very hard making so small bombs and Russia has still no knowledge about how to make small nuclear warheads at all - that's why they have very large ICBMs, which are also great for launching satellites. The US suit case bomb has the size of a typical beer tub and the same weight. it is just possible to carry it by a strong human.

What you mean is the Russian particle weapon built into a nuclear submarine.They just surface,shoot down a us satellite or missile and dives under water again.

Will a Verizon phone work in Russia
Will a Verizon phone work in Russia?

Yes and no... is it a multi band "world phone" then it will work in Russia, but you will need a different SIM card you can but in Moscow or any other larger city. If your's isn't a world phone and you aren't an elitist you can but a AT&T flip multiband phone on ebay for about $20.
2 :
The correct answer is no. Verizon's network (and thus its phones) are not compatible with Russian networks. AT&T and TMobile phones will work in Russia.
3 :
I have one that works in Russia. It is the Verizon Android Hero, it has a SIM card. You need to have a multiband phone(triband or quadband) to have it work. All of my ATT phones work because they were multiband with SIM cards, Sprint never worked because it is a PCS system. It is also very expensive to call and even text with a Western phone. My advise would be to stop by any cell phone store and just buy a cheap phone there, any Russian company will be good. Beeline for example, or MTC. You can get a phone for about 20 dollars, 17 Euro. Then you just pay for minutes, all Russians I know just buy minutes, their phones are pay for use phones. With the cost for the phone and the minutes you buy, it is still cheaper than using your phone in Russia.

Is there demand for expats in Russia still
Is there demand for expats in Russia still?
I am going to be graduating in December and have been considering going to work in Russia. However I was wondering is there still demand for expats in Russia?

Come to my city, I'll give you work. You will be my corrector of the articles that I write in English. Sometimes only native-eng-speaker can see mistakes
2 :
An English speaking person with smarts can find a job. Do not expect an expat treatment of 90s. You will be another odd worker, who does not understand the simplest things about Russian reality, but is capable of speaking clean English. Language is not a profession, unless you are an interpreter.
3 :
There is probably a demand for ESL teachers, but other than that it might be a bit tricky! Russia isn't the easiest place to find work due to their laws and regulations. Search up jobs in Russia for expats on the internet.
4 :
Apart from teaching English and working in the medical industry, jobs are next to impossible to obtain especially for a foreigner.
5 :
If you work for a multinational company then yes, there is a possibility for you to come to Russia as an expat, depending on your skills and persistence.
6 :
As foreign companies are uncomfortable with the political and economic situation in Russia. The numbers of expats has dropped considerably in the last few years. But your chances really depend on your profession. I know some who are very well paid in the oil/gas industry. Teaching English is really for the experience, not financial gain.

First off, you have the wrong terminology. There isn't a 1G iPhone. There are three models, the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS. And yes they are GSM phones so if unlocked they can be used anywhere in the world.
