Should I just up and move to Russia? Will I find work? Will they kill me? Will I be a rock star

Should I just up and move to Russia? Will I find work? Will they kill me? Will I be a rock star?
Sometimes I feel like I've spent so many years with visitors and recent immigrants that I am one. Born and raised in the States, though. I have no Russian blood. I've been only once and loved it and wanted to stay weeks longer. I've had tons of friends from all over the fmr Sov Union... I'm conversationally fluent and can recite Pushkin by heart. I have a small vocabulary, but can read, write, speak, understand... Some parts of Russia hate hate Americans. I'm of Asian blood and some skinheads in the market hate all kinds of people and will just kill you for your jacket if you are not Russian street smart. I love Russia, the mindset, the pop music, movies old and new... the old culture, the ancient culture and the Russia of today. I love the excitement, tradition, craziness, and change... I am in technology and could probably get an IT-Related job. I have friends and acquaintances from Kaliningrad to Moscow to Rostov Na Don... Kharkov, Petropavlovsk and Vladivostok. I love blini, traditional borsh, pelmeni s smetyanoi, krasnuyu ikru... I can touch type on the computer keyboard in both languages and not necessarily "stuck" in either one culture or the other. I can float my ideas, foundations. I don't want to join the CIA or FSB, though. Should I just burn my frequent flyer miles and go and never come back?

Good question. I think the hardest part for you would be finding sponsorship for work from a Russian company to give you a visa to work in Russia. By all means it sounds as though you should pack up and leave tomorrow, but obviously the visa restrictions would prevent doing so. My advise would be to take a 3-4 week holiday there and live as most Russians would. If you still want to live there then learn the language and move. Ask your friends if they can help you get a job. Out of the cities you mentioned, the more you travel east to Siberia the more Asians there are so there is a much less likelihood of being beaten. There are many Asians in Vladivostok. Good luck with your ambition and I really hope you move to Russia, its a wonderful place!

There will be visa issues. If you find a company to sponsor you, then you're much better off. Otherwise you'll be required to leave every 90 days and stay out for 90 days before returning. You can get a visa for 180 days per year, but no more than 90 days at one time without being sponsored by a Russian employer.

It's difficult to find a meaningful study abroad program as most are simply small trips which last a few weeks. Wait until you are in college.

You can certainly study abroad, but you'll want to find a good program. As someone else said, it might be easier to wait for college, but you can do summer programs next year if you don't want to wait. I am currently in Russia, and just finished studying on the GRINT Russian program- they had a five week program in St. Petersburg, and options for a five or ten week program summer program here in Moscow. There's plenty of options during the year, but those would be more available to college students. Moscow living is pricey, so if you don't have relatives here, you'll want to find a program which includes living expenses- I'm living with relatives, which cut down on the cost of the program, but GRINT had both homestay and dorm options, which I think cost the same. Homestay would be good to practice your Russian. As for working, some programs prohibit it to a certain extent- if you get a "studenchesky billet" - (student ticket/card), they usually don't want you to be making money on the side. Still, you can get around it to some extent, just look into the particular job you want. Since you already know Russian so well, you could try just to come and get a job for a summer, since Russian programs will cost a lot- but you need to have some living option.

In what ways was the working population in Russia different from other countries in Europe , before 1917

In what ways was the working population in Russia different from other countries in Europe , before 1917 ?

Other - Social Science - 1 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
While other countries had started their industrial revolution in the 1800's, Russia didn't move in the same way until 1917. Before industrial revolution, workers previously lived on estates, farmed land and paid rent to the land owners. They had few opportunities to change their situation and they had no representation in government. Once opportunities began to spring up in cities, workers moved to the city. They were able to begin to amass some wealth and eventually own property. (This wasn't easy and the working conditions were deplorable, but they were able to keep some of the money they made - that didn't really happen on estates). Many European countries had moved to democracy by the turn of the century (or something like it - monarchies as sole governments were becoming a thing of the past). Russia, however, was still living in terms of the Tsar. Workers were still living on estates which they did not own and they had no say in the functioning of government. There was an increasing disenchantment with the rural and oppressive lives they were leading while the bourgeoisie enjoyed the fruits of the worker's labours. The 1917 February Revolution led by the Bolsheviks marked the end of the monarchy - and Tsar Nicholas II and his entire family - and the rise of communism under Vladimir Lenin. Communism allowed the workers to start to take control of their lives.

Why is my Foreign taxes shown as income on my W-2

Is this right? An why should I have to pay on income that I have already paid taxes on once. Any help?
United States - 2 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
You are in a very complicated tax situation. You say you are a resident of the US so you would be taxed as any US citizen would be taxed, ie. on worldwide income from whatever source unless specifically exempted by the tax code. What that really means to you is this: yes, Russia will tax your income because you are providing services in Russia. To the degree your employer pays your taxes on your behalf, that is considered under the US tax code to be taxable compensation to you, and thus the amount of taxes paid would be added to your box 1 wages on your W2. Since you are a US resident, you will also be taxed on your income you earned in Russia even though you are also being taxed by Russia. To help mitigate the double taxation, you have 2 options: 1. File a Foreign Earned Income Exclusion election to exclude up to $87,600 (you won't get the whole exclusion because you were only in Russia for 7 months). The form is called a 2555. 2. Calculate a Foreign Tax Credit on form 1118 to take credit for the Russian taxes paid, which will decrease the amount of US tax you owe on this same income. Robyn M. Enrolled Agent Master Tax Advisor **This advice was prepared based on our understanding of the tax law in effect at the time it was written as it applies to the facts that you provided.
2 :
If you do not qualify for form 2555, the foreign taxes can be claimed on form 1116 (1118 is for corporations) or as a itemized deduction, but not both. You have to pay taxes to the US as well as Russia. Russia is taxing you because of where you were working. The USA is taxing you because they tax citizens and resident aliens on worldwide income. There are only a few countries that tax on worldwide income.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do you take vote to find a correct course when you are in a ship that has lost its path in sea, or you will try to read map or compass etc? It's like this. If one desires to have a genuine answer one has to study Marxism and Russian history. When a socio-economic system falls apart there are certain specific reasons for the downfall. The logic of 70 years is a lazy logic which does not intend to go to the root of the problem. Feudal society reigned for hundreds of years and then it died down. If one studies Marxism honestly forgetting all kinds of bias, one will certainly understand that downfall of socialism in USSR was due to deviation from true Marxism. After the death of Stalin, Khruschov and his followers undertook the job of restoration of capitalism. They actually implemented certain economic "reforms" which paved the way for destruction of socialism in USSR. Those reforms were all against the Marxian concept of Socialism. These reforms brought back private property over means of production first in agriculture then in industry. They introduced profit motive for production. They further expanded the role of free market. Through the course of years, in such situation, the new capitalist class, an elite class, emerged banking on beaurocracy in state administration. On the other hand the economy started to suffer and the load was put upon the people who sufferred and a great many thought that the fault lied with Marxism as understood by Lenin and Stalin.

Where to find info on current Russia

Where to find info on current Russia?
I'm working on a project on the current economic/governmental situation of Russia. I was looking for any sources that may be helpful in finding real GDP, CPI, or any other economic indicators. Second, I was looking for any sites to show a basic layout of how the government works in both job description and a spread of the relationships between the government groups. Most of this would be helpful, but the most help I could ask for is a link or name to a show on Russia as a country, preferably from the 1980s to the present. Something to tell the story of Russia and its people. The History Channel has probably done some documentaries on the subject. This does not need to be purely factual in nature, but something to give me a leg up on how Russia works and where I need to start looking. I don’t speak Russian which seems to be what most of the sites are written in, so if the sites suggested could be in English, I would be grateful. So if I could get the name of any of these sources or shows, it would be a tremendous help on starting this project.

This document has economic and governmental information listed for every country in the world, and is a reliable source. It is very basic info, and won't give you much cultural insight. But its a decent starting point. Also, keep in mind that Russia through the 1980s was the USSR, and the government and to some extent, culture have changed since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Another thing you could look up is an article that Time magazine ran in the early 90's about the McDonalds they opened in Moscow, some of the quotes in there can give a little insight into the post-communism mentality in the country. I know it sounds random...but i found it interesting.

If you got a cell phone in the US, can you still use it (with the same provider) if you move to Russia

If you got a cell phone in the US, can you still use it (with the same provider) if you move to Russia?
I was wondering... If you have a cell phone, for examle, T-mobile provided. If I moved to Russia, and my parents stayed here and payed the bill, would my service and my phone still work in Russia - even though they don't have that service provider? One of my friends has been talking to a boy over the internet and he claims he's from Russia, and he says he has a US phone from when he used to live there and his parents pay his bill (they live in the US). According to my knowledge, they don't have ANY of the same US Providers over in Russia. I'm thinking he's lying.

i'm pretty sure you can, but it'll be REALLY REALLY Expensive. It's better if you just buy another phone in russia.

Mobile telephones from America only work in America. You can purchase a sim card for some other countries but it will be more expensive to use it. You can subscribe to a service there. America is unfortunately far behind europe and asia in mobile phones. There you can use any phone for any service. Here not so, you must buy a phone for your specific service. But if you take your t-mobile to Russia with you it will not work at all. And you can't use it for a service there. There's always e-mail.

You can use US providers, but mega expensive. best thing is just to get a sim card from Beeline or UMC when you are in Moscow and just use the Russian providers.Much less expensive if you are staying there for a while

You are half correct. In order to use your cell phone that you purchase here in the United States and travel internationally they would have to have the same network. For example if I had A T&T Wireless here in the United States I would have to make sure they have coverage in the country and service that I am traveling to. However there is an alternative that people sometimes do. They buy a unlock GSM phone either from A T&T or T-Mobile and once they go to a international country they just purchase a sim card from any provider in that country and put it into their unlock GSM cell phone that they bought here in the United States and it would work in that country. The reason why it works is the United States cell phone is unlock and uses GSM network which is used in a lot of countries. This is what I think your friend did. He has a unlock GSM phone and goes to Russia and purchases a sim card and he uses whatever provider that services Russia with that sim card.
