I traveled to Russia to hunt, so I took the best night vision monocular https://wildproofgear.com/the-best-night-vision-monoculars/ with me because I had to hunt in the dark.

Answer 1

There is nothing for you to be afraid of, as far as you are respectful to the locals, their culture and history.

Answer 2

There is no quick answer — depends on many factors and which places you plan to visit. If you have been to Russia in a past few recent years, it is not that different since then. Current tensions did not (at least, yet) affect everyday life. I would recommend you to go in one of the most famous and safe tour across Russia - Trans-Siberian Railway Tours- Everything work out perfectly and you will see a lot of great places and also meet a lot of interesting people

Answer 3

where exactly are you going to go to Russia?

Answer 4

If you get lost or have any questions while you are in Russia. Dont turn to policemen walking around. If they see you are a foreigner and are late for your train, they will detain you under any excuse and make you pay. And you will have to pay if you dont want to miss your train.

But local people are good and friendly.

This year I also want to go to Russia. Already began to collect documents https://hellorussia.co.uk/how-to-obtain-a-russian-visa-for-uk-citizens-a-complete-guide/ I'm also interested in what a foreigner can expect in this country. Your answers helped me. Thank you

Answer 6

Russia is a good country and there is nothing to be aware of. People are nice but some of them don't know English but it's not a problem at all!

Answer 7

I have not been to Russia, but I can confidently recommend you the country I visited this summer. We traveled in Ukraine, and with the help of a rented car https://ukr-prokat.com/en/rental-cars/rent-a-car-lviv we got acquainted with the city of Lviv. We studied old castles and visited wonderful coffee shops. It was the best coffee in my life)) I advise you to visit this amazing country.

Answer 8

Russia is huge, depends on what region or city you're planning to visit. I would consider Moscow and especially Saint Petersburg - these are rather developed and advanced cities with unique culture and historical value. Check these weather sites https://travelsites.com/weather-sites/ for better navigation by country, Russia is really big and climate is very diverse. Good luck!

Answer 9

The capital is the most common place to visit in every country. But I like something interesting and not usual. Of course, it's food and architecture and some interesting excursions. For example, I tried buggy in Dominican. It was really cool experience. 

Answer 10

I want to find work in the USA. But I am not a citizen of this country. How to apply for a work visa and in the future how is the extension?
