take couple weeks vacation, go to moscow, check everything you need, then decide-what do you want. maybe this vacation will be enough for you))). also-dont forget old joke-dont mix vacation with emigration)))
then why you ask us about opinion? you should know everything already. opportunities,salary,requrements,cost of living,security etc..
I want to compare if my experiences were common or just my first imressions. I needed to hear from some one who is living there right now who is from the West. I dont know why some one would respond to my thread if he left 10 years ago.
because nothing change(exept moscow) there in 10 years. i spend at least a hour every week on phone with my friends and i believe that i do know something about life in russia. i also point you to forum, where you can find many russian traders (from moscow too) and talk to them about your ideas))) ---my experiences were common or just my first imressions. --- your expirience can't be common, just because all people are different. for guy from china-it's a paradise, for guy from dubai-it's dirty village..))))))))

You bet wrong. I was two blocks away from World Trade Center when the planes hit. Then I watched it with my own eyes collapse and kill 3000 people.
