The answer is you don't NEED to if you can get some to hire you and get you a visa to enter Russia. Getting a Russian visa, even for a short visit, can be a HUGE problem. And in all likelihood, you won't find anyone to hire you without qualifications since there are thousands of people with qualifications you're competing against. Not to mention that you probably have NO idea how to teach English.
2 :
Pretty much, yes. In general you'll need a degree (although there are still possibilities if you do not have this) and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate to get a visa and work. There are ways around it though but it won't be easy.
3 :
I agree with ICAL and Alaric in that the best employers will probably not want to hire you without proper credentials and qualifications. Speaking English fluently is not the only requirement to being able to teach it. You need to know all the fancy jargon and be able to explain complicated aspects of grammar; stuff that most native English speakers don't even think about and therefore do not really know how to teach. You also shouldn't forget the fact that English isn't exactly the rarest language in the world; so while there is a huge demand for QUALIFIED English teachers abroad, there are also a lot of qualified applicants. You should work towards getting a degree or certificate in one of the following choices, or in something similar: Teaching English as a Foreign Language, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, or Teaching English as a Second Language.

Why do liberals have such a positive view of socialism
Why do liberals have such a positive view of socialism?
http://www.gallup.com/poll/125645/Socialism-Viewed-Positively-Americans.aspx Didn't work in Russia. East Germany and all of the russian puppet states, North Korea, etc. So why do you have such a positive view of it?

Easy answer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,misery loves company. Socialism is easy, you can get a easy job, and still live as good as the brain surgeon. Socialism rewards failure. See the favorite liberal quote is "Socialism is Fair" and they are right,,,, socialism distributes poverty equally. I say capitalism is fair, it rewards those that work, and punishes those that do not.
2 :
Stockholm Syndrome after years of indoctrination from our lousy hollywood and crappy schools.
3 :
Because socialism isn't a government, it's an economic system employed by a government. Those countries were fascist whereas the libs you're referring to prefer Democratic Socialism like the systems set-up in Sweden and such.
4 :
Because socialism is about equality, and Republicans are about making the rich richer.
5 :
They don't. But the majority of Americans voted for Obama not because of Obama, but because of the horrific alternative. Its fine to disagree with Obama, but if the Republicans want to win they have to come up with alternative ideas and candidates. Instead they put their neagtive-ignorant face on show at tea party rallies and shout "you lie" at our head of state. All that negativity is just political masturbation; sure its fun, but its not going to get a Republican in the white house.
6 :
Liberalism is a mental disorder. Either way, voting Republican or Democrat is a vote to bankrupt yourself. Yet millions of Americans, are still voting to bankrupt themselves even though the cost to pay off the public debt (federal, state, county, municipal and schools) now comes to over $50,000 per citizen. That means that someone who has kids needs to pony up for their kids also. It's time for Americans to abandon the two party farce that has abandoned Americans through bankruptcy.

we have a positive view of a mixed economy -- much like the rest of the world -- you guys over use it and propagandize it so much that the word is worthless
8 :
Liberals gain power when you give up your rights
9 :
Stupidity
10 :
1) That wasn't socialism. That was Communism. 2) West Germany taking over East Germany during Unification and producing the strongest economy in Europe, That is Socialism. 3) After watching free market capitalism almost destroy the world economy, why do conservatives have such a positive view of capitalism?
11 :
They can't compete in a capitalistic society because they're too stupid. Therefore, they're jealous and want what you have.
12 :
Socialism involves "increasing the role of government through legislation" (Barney Frank) and remaking the economy into a "redistributive" system to "level the playing field" (Obama)... and provides the framework to make it happen. Just don't call them "socialists" or "bolsheviks" when they prefer to be called "Progressive"... it will alarm the sheeple.
13 :
We're smart enough to realize that the US has been a blend of democracy and socialistic policies and trends almost since our inception. As are the vast majority of successful countries world wide.
14 :
why do conservatives play dumb and pretend like they don't know the difference between communims and socialism... when you ask them a real question about it, they plainly do know the difference... guess it's easier to play dumb? can you not make a legitimate point using the actual facts?
15 :
The day liberals begin to suggest nationalising industries will be the day conservatives aren't purposely confusing the issue by calling liberals "socialists". Saying liberals are Nazis because the Nazi party was called the national socialist party is only taking it a step further in insanity when you consider that every history textbook printed since WW2 explicitly says nazis were right wing fascists. It's just name calling when you want fascism and socialism to be the same thing. Especially when this was what divided Europe for several decades and cost hundreds of millions of lives. Maybe all the fascists and socialists who died in bloody wars fighting each other were actually on the same side and didn't realise it? Considering Russia killed 8 out of every 10 nazis in WW2 it might serve as an interesting lesson on what the war was really about! Shock jocks like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Glenn Beck have convinced people that you can just make baseless personal attacks on your political opponents with little empathy and don't need any credibility at all because it's fine to just hate them. This is ironically what made fascism so appealing! People were losing faith in capitalism and wanted an alternative to socialism, so they embraced fascism. Fascism told the people that the Jews were the reason capitalism was failing and people all agreed they didn't even deserve a kind word.
16 :
Because the democratic variety of socialism works remarkably well in, say, Sweden or Canada, not to mention Brandt's Germany, or Mitterrand's France, where actual socialists wielded power. Before you start bitchin' 'bout Canada, you won't hear a single Canadian complain about socialism. Emgirating to the US from Canada and the other way around is easy: Why aren't Canadians flocking to the US?

How can I move back to Russia and live comfortably
How can I move back to Russia and live comfortably?
I moved to the states when i was six years old. i've always hated it here, and the only times ive really been happy was when i was visiting Russia and my family there. I'm going to the University of Pittsburgh for finance/international business and want to work in finance over in Russia. I want to be the guy you see with the nice car, nice cloths, nice girl, nice crib..... alot of them over there lol.. so how do i make my dream come true? what steps must i take?

Instead going to Pittsburgh, get yourself 1 year in any university in Russia ( at least), live there in full, take a look, than decide. Iceman and Anatoly answers were the best, I gave you guys both a TU
2 :
Ask your Russian relatives explain you the difference between tourism and immigration.If you move to Russia you will soon find out that the place in the dream you have in mind is already occupied by guys who deal in finance "the Russian way". The way is rarely described in textbooks you read, it includes robbery, falsification of documents, money laundering, fixed courts, corruption and many more things you have no idea about. That's how those guys with nice cars, etc live and work. The most aggressive from them have already moved their girls abroad.
3 :
a few steps: 1. Realize that the country you have visited and dreamed about is far different from the one you intend to live in. You need to be prepared for a reality check and it's not something you are going to like. 2. Can you live the "cool" life there? Sure, but not the way you are dreaming about, and not for long on a typical salary in Moscow. Let's get you a job that pays. Do you have solid family government contacts? probaby not so the chances of getting a fat government job are as likely as being selected to go to the moon. Do you have a solid family background as a "new Russian" again the chances are slim, so working within organized crime is doubtful (who would really trust you? You have no family ties or loyalties). The last chance is the free market, I hate to break the news to you but this is far from America and the land of opportunity. If you were lucky enough to get a real job, there's a good chance the company would close for not paying taxes, or you would be working as an underling for someone that is connected. The dream is great but unrealistic. Every day, good people that are sick of the corruption and lying emmigrate out of Russia and to countries where their hard work will afford them and their families a good life. The reason this is done, is that what you are seeking isn't there for most people.

Graduate in the US and then approach American companies who have business in Russia. But I have my doubts about the income meeting your lifestyle dreams in Russia. Nice 'crib's in the centre of Moscow - http://www.evans.ru/
