hahahahah! for that Vodka it also a stereotype, though the Drink Vodka but not as the stereotypes suggests.
Russians drink vodka occassionally, but that does'nt mean they do not have drunkards as can also be seen anywhere in the world. In Nigeria we drink too.

Last Year Nigeria consummed more alcohol than Russia, for the past 3 years Maldova a small country out drank Russia of 147 million population. lol!

Statistics shows that for the past 4 years Russia has maintained 4th and 5th Positiion in alcohol consumption with Maldova, Ukraine and France making the top list.

STATISTICS HAS IT THAT RUSSIANS DRINK MORE TEA THAN VODKA



Russia isn't colder than than Canada.

But the coldest city in the world is in Russia, a city called Yakutsk.
longetivity:
only thing I know about them is cold and vodka

Everyone has heard one or more weird stories about Russia.

But all isn't true.

Russians are very good people. One only need to understand them, speak their language, know their culture.

There's a saying when go to Rome, behave like the Romans.

I know so may Nigerians who speak Russian, own houses In Russia, and big businesses in Russia and yet the they haven't experienced one bit out of the weird stories we hear about Russia. Russia and Russia is a far more civilized country than anyone may think.

People from around the world who visited Russia hoping to experience the bad stories left with good words in their mouth. You can make refs to some Youtube videos about living in Russia as a black person.

There is no place in the world that is safe, they only thing is to learn how to be safe.
ZINIBANKS:
Austeen007 Omo your house fine O
But I still don't like that Russia
Many bad stories about them has cleared their country off my mind

After Studies You have to leave the country, If you wish to stay before your studies end you can write Language and Russian history proficiency exams and apply for Residence that will allow you to stay in the country and work. But you can aswell work with your student visa while it's still valid. many Nigerian got smart and they have a residence here in Russia now.
As for the Tuition if it's expensive or not, is dependent on the course, the school, and the language of thought.

The Russian Governent have scholarship programmes, for Africans and CIS countries, you could be lucky to fall in the quota.
Joohan:
What I'll like to ask you is, can one get job as a students and can one stay after studies?

Secondly, how's expensive is the tuition fees for MSc?

Lastly, can I get scholarship or waivers

Yes the New Russian Law Now Allows Students to work without applying for extra working permit.
Kemimarch16:
Can someone be schooling and working at the same time in Russia?

Russia!


Every one of us would not deny that we haven’t read or heard one or 2 weird stories about Russia.

If not. At least, you must have heard the following that;

Russians are racists; they do not like black People.

Russian spits on black people on the streets
Russians kills black people or Africans in the streets of Moscow.

Russia is not a place for a black man to travel to; Especially Nigerians.

I get often asked 2 particular questions from most Nigerians about Russia;

“How is the racism there, I heard they’re racist?
The Good News is that I have been living in Russia for almost 3 years now and no one cares about my skin color.

Russians are very helpful people when you ask for help.

“Russia is too cold.” But little did they know that Canada is colder than Russia.

Though, before I moved to Russia I also had read and heard so many weird things about Russia and the advice was “if you’re African, dark skinned don’t go to Russia."

I almost forfeited my visa lol!

But, I took the hard decision, disregarding all I have read and took a shot at it.

When I got to Russia’s Domododevo airport in Moscow I was expecting to be sent back to Africa, Nigeria for being black.

Clearly, nobody cared about my very dark skin tone.

For those who looked only did in admiration and ask to take a photo with me.

My 3 years in Russia has been awesome, far from what I expected.

Recently, I went spending time in the Russian Dacha (Country House) in Nigeria we call village house.

My 90 day experience in the Russian dacha was awesome too.

People where friendly and often asked to take a photo with me.

Remember, you must learn how to understand Russian to be able to start a conversation. Or you can either make use of a Yandex or Google Translator.

Observations:
Many of the things we have read or heard about Russia, isn’t true.

I’d not be able to write all of my experience in Russia so far

If you have any question about Russia ask me I’ll answer them in a knowledgeable truth around my experiences so far.
