Just so's ya know... Those of you thinking of residency "dolzhen izuchit horosho po Russki", or rather, will need a certificate saying you can speak Russian

... the article mentions 'work permits', so I wonder how that would affect English teachers? Mind you, when a similar problems was encountered before (i.e., the temporary abolition of the 'teacher visa') schools did manage around that somehow Smile

One would assume that teachers would be classed as Foreign Specialists.
I'm a specialist in getting drunk and being foreign, so I'm pretty much safe.
Actually, I've given myself gastritis from drinking too much, so perhaps I am in danger of getting booted out.
