Greetings! I'm from Asia and I would like to seek advice if it is safe to work and live in St. Petersburg, Russia or in a Russian Country. A family is interested to hire me as a nanny to their kids. Since, I was thinking that it is a communist country. Should I continue with the application? I think they're nice but theres difference with the people and their culture. Can anyone help me and give me some good and appropriate advice? Thank you very much. :)

It's not a very safe country. I would avoid it.

First, Russia has not been a "communist" country for the last 20+ years - where have you been ? St Petersburg is a beautiful city and exciting place to be, however it is quite expensive. Also, it is very different from the rest of the country. The lifestyle and people's attitudes are different. I wouldn't recommend going to the countryside. There is no place on Earth that is 100% safe. Is it safe to work and live in your Asian country ? Like in many other places around the world, people are cautios of foreigners, so if you decide to come, just take an effort to learn about the culture and don't expect any special treatment. If you speak the language and respect the culture, you shouldn't have any problems.
