Pretty much, yes. In general you'll need a degree and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate to get a visa and work. Insight into teaching English in Russia: http://teflworldwiki.com/index.php?title=Russia_-_TEFL_in_Russia Additional: When you say teach, you do mean teaching English, right? Hopefully I helped you! Good luck!

It would help improve your chances of employment, but you don't necessarily need a degree to teach English in Russia. A TEFL or CELTA certificate and enthusiasm is all you really need. Make sure the language school provides visa support. Jobs here - expat.ru

AutoVAZ is one of the biggest car manufacturers in Russia: http://www.lada-auto.ru/info.xml However. I think you'll have more luck with Western (or Asian) car manufacturers who build their plants in Russia: GM (they have a JV GM-AutoVAZ), Ford, Hundai, KIA etc. Quote: "GM is not the only car manufacturer with an interest in the Russian market. South Korea's Hyundai and SsangYong concerns also assemble several models in Russia. Ford produces the Focus, which is very popular in Russia, at a plant near St. Petersburg. France's Renault manufactures Logan Sedans in Moscow. Soon, two more major manufacturers will be added to this group: Japan's Toyota is building a car assembly plant in St. Petersburg, and Germany's Volkswagen is building in Kaluga."

Yes and yes. The Storm will work but it will cost you a fortune in international roaming fees. Unless you can get the Storm unlocked so you can use it with prepaid sims from Germany and Russia, leave it home.

Russia began the reform in education in 60’s of the 19th century and it was one of the most important reformations in renovated after serfdom country. The life had shown that it was necessary to create a new type of school, which would be adaptated to cultural specificity and necessities of people who lived in Russia. Such schools started to open since 1886 in the Turkistanian land. Appearance of such schools was received with distrust at first. There were fears of the local population that religious schools would be ousted. The facts of “purchase of students” are established, when wealthy families hired a student and sent him to the school instead of their own son. The beginning of the 19th century witnessed the dramatic changes in scientific developments in Russia caused by deep cutting social and economic processes and new political phenomena, i.e. the development of capitalism and growth of the national selfawareness became more evident after the war of 1812 in particular. It was the time when Russian literature and art - the public rostrum for progressive ideas - reached significant heights. The growing industry, educational system and culture demanded the ever increasing number of trained specialists. New universities appeared over the country's European part - in Kazan, St.Petersburg, Tartu and Kharkov. Universities joined their forces with the Academy in scientific research. In the late 18th and early 19th century the Academy transformed or ceased to accomplish some of its former functions, such as education. The arts were transferred under the supervision of the newly established Academy of Arts. The Academy's University was closed while the Academy itself concentrated on research. At the same time practically all its members continued their work at universities and scientific societies, the number of the corresponding members and honorary members living outside St.Petersburg became larger, the material basis improved. In the 1830s the Academy founded several museums (botanical, zoological, mineralogical, ethnographic and others) with varied collections. In 1839, an astronomic observatory was opened in Pulkovo, which dealt with the star astronomy studies and issued the star catalogues.
