Been doing alot of research and would like to know if I can come to russia for a Language program and maybe adjust my visa status during the one year time frame also

Yes, if your course is in Russian language you obviously have to do the preparatory year first. You have to get admission to Bachelors or Masters first to enable you continue after the preparatory program. If you didn't get admission first and only came for preparatory year program, after the program, you'll need to return to Nigeria and re apply again for full time study visa. I hope this is clear. Please search for the dedicated Russian student visa thread or check out my previous posts for a comprehensive guide on how to apply for Russian student visa.

Aidejay:
Hey tochiphotos are u a music lover?
If yes, gist us about your music interests especially the Russian ones
Would be exciting to hear how you've evolved towards the artistic cultures of these guys (saint Petersburg-ians)

I love listening to music. I love good music, I mean who doesn't?

My taste in music is so weird and random, I literary listen to all kinds of music, it's so funny and weird that my late-night-cool music playlist contains Mozart, Bach, John Legend, ASAP Rocky, Jay Z, Udu Bonche, Umu Obiligbo and some other Igbo/Yoruba high life and ogene music lmao. That's how crazy my taste in music is.

But to answer your question, this city has greatly influenced my choice of music, I mean I've always loved classical music (back in Nigeria, I listened to Mozart, Vilvaldi, Bach and Beethoven) But since I moved here, I've discovered other great artists Tchaikovsky, Borodin and other great Russian composers.

I've fallen in love with Russian music and literature and sadly, I've had a really stressful week so I'm unable to write a lengthy post about Russian music and literatue. If I forced myself to write it for your sake, it would be mediocre and that would ruin it for you and I do not want that for you.

I honestly feel like some parts of this historical city can't be shown or written about alone. It has to be lived and experienced and its music culture and literature are one of them. I also honestly prefer discussing literature and music in person, over a glass of montepulciano d'abruzzo or any home made Russian or French wine. So Bro, whenever I'm in Nigeria, I'll reach out to you and we'll hangout and discuss Russian music and literature.

But one thing you have to know is that, classical music feels so good and different when you listen to it in places like inside the historical hermitage museum while perusing fine art or at home in an old Russian-Soviet styled apartment with lovely mosaic designs. As some people may say 'That shit slaps different" hahahaah



Whew! I've had a really stressful week and it's about to get even worse cos school resumes on Monday.
Spent my entire evening editing videos at this coffee shop.

Second picture, was taken on my way to the center to shoot interviews.

Both pics taken were taken with my phone.

My people how far na? I just say make I come drop small update.

The past week was really stressful cos I spent so much time shooting and editing videos for my YouTube channel. Also, thanks to my channel and the exposure it brought I got booked for 3 separate photo shoots. 1 Nigerian girl and 2 Russian girls. Since YouTube never they bring money, make I use my photography dey chop small.

The Nigeriean girl is still arranging location and props for her photo shoot. I've already shot the other Russian girl. She is a model and wanted a lingerie shoot for her portfolio so we did lingerie and semi nude shoots. We wanted to do some at the pool but we couldn't arrange a nice swimming pool in time.

School resumes next Monday, so I'm going to use this week to at least shoot and upload 2 videos before that.

Below is a picture from the photo shoot. I unfortunately can't show you guys the rest of the shoot because of privacy; and also because they're too explicit to post here in the open.

Please check out my new drone footage of Saint Petersburg at night and please subscribe to my channel. More interesting videos and social experiments coming soon on Afro Rossiya TV

Thanks guys and I wish each and everyone of you a productive and nice week!

Peace and love always!

greenprince:


You're really a man of character and I respect that. When you said love gbakwa oku I could smell that it was a facade. You tried to make it sound casual but I know it must've been hard on you.

The important thing though is that you made the right decision and I'm sure you're proud of yourself for that. If that lady is actually meant for you, years may pass but she'll confess she was wrong to give you conditions like that.

I'm glad you also understood she didn't mean to be a clog in your wheel only that these white people don't understand the realities of our lives as struggling Africans sometimes.

I hope others like myself can learn from you. Goodluck with the upcoming semester, and drop our video sharp sharp

P.S those photos are really nice. What camera and lens combo do you use please.

Thanks bro!

I took the pictures with my phone. An iPhone 7 plus.

Hi guys, I hope everyone had a lovely day?

I want to use this opportunity to thank everyone who subscribed to my YouTube channel. We've passed 200 subscribers and I have you guys to thank for that. 200 subscribers might not seem like a big deal but this is my first milestone on YouTube and I want you guys to know I really appreciate each and everyone of you who watch and share my videos. And If and when that YouTube money starts coming in the future, I certainly will make sure to share the love with you guys.

Now to answer the question that has been on everyone's lips.

Why I broke up with B?

I know I do not really owe it to anyone to explain what happened but I feel that since you guys were part of the journey from the beginning, it's only fair I address why I left our beloved B.

Some of you were there from the very beginning; from our first date at Red Square in Moscow to the family Vacation in Sochi and all the adventures we had so it's only right that I give you guys some closure.

Now to why we broke up. I'll keep this short.

Our relationship hit rock bottom when I told her about my decision to move to Saint Petersburg. Like I already explained earlier in my first post, moving to Saint Petersburg was a strategic decision which I believe is the best for my future and my plans.
Apart from the reasons I have listed before in the beginning of this thread, I am also currently on scholarship and if I had chosen to remain Moscow, I would not only have to struggle because the program is entirely taught in Russian language, but also worry about tuition each semester.

B wanted me to turn down the scholarship and stay in Moscow cos that's what I'm apparently supposed to do if I love her.

Bottomline, she kinda gave me two options. 1, if I love her, I should say no to the scholarship and stay in Moscow with her and we'd continue to live together. Or 2, move to Saint Petersburg and that will be the end of our relationship. In my mind I was like 'love gbakwa oku'

I told her that even tho I love her, my priority in life right now isn't starting a family but to work hard so I'll be able to provide and help my family back home in Nigeria. I did not come to Russia to play with snow or count white people. I came here for a reason, which is to study and search for greener pastures. There are people back home who depend on me, who pray for me daily to succeed so I can change my family's life. Everything I'm doing right now is for my family, my mom especially has suffered a lot in this life and all I want to do is to help them in anyway I can and any girl or person that threatens that, has no place in my life.
She did not understand this and I don't blame her cos our realities are different.

So that's it sha. We had other issues ho but this was the straw that broke the camel's back.


After we broke up and I had moved to Saint Petersburg, we kept seeing each other. She visited me a couple of times, and I also visited her in Moscow a few times.

After a few months, I realized it wasn't good for us to keep seeing each other after breaking up cos that means we won't really move on so I told her it's best we stop talking to each other and cut all ties. And that's what we did and we haven't spoken this year.

Whew! So that's what happened.

I want you guys to know this; even though B and I are no longer together, she will always be special to me, and the memories we created will be with me forever. B and her family are the kindest people I've met in Russia, they loved me, they gave me a home when I needed one and they accepted me into their loving family as one of theirs and for that I'm eternally grateful.

On my way back from the center. I had a really busy evening shooting for my channel and I can't wait to share the video with you guys. In the meantime, enjoy these beautiful pictures I took of the sunset over the Bolshoy Neva river.

Guys guess what I found today

Ji mmanu! yes yam and oil lol.

First time I'm eating yam in years and I couldn't be happier.

Funny story; When I was a kid, I hated eating ji mmanu (yam and oil) cos back then in Enugu, we only ate yam and oil when money no dey for better food and some of the kids in our compound were mean and they'd make fun of us hahhaa but today, I was literary beaming with child-like glee cos I finally got to eat yam after so many years

Yesterday I cooked jollof rice and went to the streets of Russia and asked Russians to eat my jollof rice and tell me what they think about it and here is what they had to say

kingstide:
I know this might not be the place to ask these questions, but other groups have been silent for a while now. Please, I will appreciate your kind assistance on these questions.

Good day house. I am about to apply for my visa and I need some advice on putting my documents together.
firstly, I will like to know if the embassy has a specific insurance company they recommend or any insurance company can be used.
secondly, I also want to know if the general hospital is ok for HIV certificate or they have a recommendation for that too.
furthermore, should sponsor letter be printed on a letterhead or a plain sheet is ok for that?
and I will also appreciate any interview questions they might ask so as to be able to prepare for them. Your quick response would be appreciated as I will be submitting my application of Visa this week.

One more thing, How much do you think is ok to have in the sponsor's Statement of account.
Thank you.

I used IGI when I did mine and it was the one recommended by the embassy staff but I assume other insurance companies will work too.

The general hospital in Abuja should be fine but when I did mine, it was at Ave Maria hospital in V.I. That's the embassy's partner hospital. There is a Russian Doctor there and he has to sign and stamp the result but I heard they now accept from general hospital Abuja.

Sponsor letter should be on company letterhead.

Please find the thread dedicated for students to ask questions regarding admissions and visa application procedure etc

Today I cooked jollof rice and I'll go to the center of Saint Petersburg and ask Russians to try Nigerian jollof and tell me what they think about it. The few times I cooked jollof and shared with my Russian classmates, they all loved it. So today, 'll go out and see what the general public thinks about Nigerian jollof rice. Video will be out on my YouTube channel in a few days.

My best friend here in Russia is crazy about Nigeria food, he has tried jollof rice, egusi and okro and he can't seem to get enough of our food hahaha. His name is Roma and I want to use this opportunity to briefly tell you guys about Roma.

I think I'm blessed when it comes to friendships because all my adult life, I've been really fortunate to only meet and get close to really wonderful people. No matter how hardworking or self made you think you are, it's always important to acknowledge the people that have helped you in one way or the other to get where you are in life.

My friendship with Roma started the first day I resumed at HSE Saint Petersburg. After the first class, he came to me to know how I was handling the transition of moving to a new city and all the craziness of life at a new school. He genuinely showed interest in knowing me as a person which was really nice. It might seem insignificant to other people but it was a very nice gesture and it meant a lot to me. Been a different race especially in Russia can be very challenging, sad and quite depressing but having a friend like him made everything smooth and easy for me.

Roma and I particularly connected instantly because we had so many things in common. We are the oldest in our entire department, he just turned 23 and I am older than him. Other students in our department are mostly teenagers who just left high school so Roma and I bonded over our past failures, age, our dreams and the shared hope for a better tomorrow.

Also, Roma is one of the smartest people I've met my entire life. He was previously studying Applied Mathematics at Saint Petersburg State University before he had an issue in his final year and then moved to our University. This guy has a brilliant mind and he is so smart and knowledgeable about everything you can think of. He's literally a genius. Think of real life Sheldon Cooper level of Genius in the big bang theory. I usually feel so dumb whenever I'm around him cos this guy literary knows about everything but I like that cos I learn so much from him daily. Since the first day we met, we attend lectures together and sit in the same seat in every single class. We literally do everything together. He got married last year to his American girlfriend. He lived in America for years before returning to Russia and the girl he married, was his high school girlfriend in America.

Also, his parents are the most wonderful people I've met in Saint Petersburg. They are both medical practitioners and they usually invite me for dinner in their house and that's where I usually eat authentic Russian food hahahahaha.

Below are pics of Me and Roma and our classmate and friend Nastya. Also, Nastya is a good friend to me too. The picture I posted earlier from the culture fest, she is the one in the yellow Dashiki. I gave her the dashiki on her birthday. She also helped me a lot when I started at this Uni and she is like a little Sister to me.

I'm off to shoot videos for my channel so guys please subscribe to my YouTube channel abeg )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQMJeS8PCCs

Hi everyone, welcome to my diary. Many of you might remember me from my previous diary about my life in Moscow, Russia. I moved to Saint Petersburg from Moscow and I've decided to open a dedicated thread to document my life as a foreign student in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

I’m a Nigerian student, I study at the Higher School of Economics Saint Petersburg Russia. This thread will basically document and share my life and daily experiences living in Saint Petersburg, Russia. I hope you guys will enjoy and find my diary interesting.


Chapter 1 - The second coming.

I moved to Saint Petersburg from Moscow towards the end of 2018 and it was mostly because the Saint Petersburg campus had suitable programs entirely taught in english, whilst the Moscow program only had Masters programs in English. The other option would have been to continue studying in Russian language at the Moscow campus, but here is the tricky thing. My university is a very prestigious university in Russia (Top 3 in the country) and the standards are very high. There is this thing in my university called dopsa, so if you fail 3 exams in a year, you'll be expelled from the university and deported. So that means that out of 14 to 20 courses in an academic year, you can't fail 3 courses or you'll be expelled and deported as soon as possible. So I basically moved to Saint Petersburg to study in English because I do not know enough Russian to study entirety in Russian language and not fall behind in class. So my moving to Saint Petersburg was strategic.

A little about Saint Petersburg.

Before I begin, I want guys to know that words alone are not enough to describe how beautiful Saint Petersburg is. I honestly do not have enough adjectives to describe how magical and beautiful this city is. I've lived in Saint Petersburg for over a year now and I'm still awe struck. The center of Saint Petersburg is a Unesco heritage site and there are so many beautiful monuments and buildings all around the center. The center of Saint Petersburg and the city in itself is an architectural masterpiece.

Some nights when I'm sad or worried about something, I just take a quick stroll down the historical city center. Nevsky propekt is so beautiful at night, brilliantly decorated lights, amazing architecture and so on... It's the city of dreams and there is no headache or worry that taking a walk here cannot heal. Saint Petersburg is simply magical and I am a bit sad that I might have failed to accurately describe how beautiful this city is and I hope the videos and pics that will come later will be better.

Life in Saint Petersburg vs Moscow

I've lived in the two cities and I honestly prefer Saint Petersburg. Apart from being the most liberal and European most city of Russia, Saint Petersburg is just not beautiful but people here are much nicer than in Moscow. Saint Petersburg and Moscow are two contrasting cities, Moscow can be likened to Lagos, chaotic, busy and over populated. While Saint Petersburg can be likened to calmer cities like Enugu, Abuja or Calabar. Life is much easier and simpler here than in Moscow and most importantly, things are cheaper too than in Moscow. But like every other city, Saint Petersburg has its disadvantages too. Because of its proximity to the baltic sea, the winter is much more brutal here. It's windier and colder here than in Moscow. I'll do a more comprehensive comparison of the two cities in the future but I'll always advise prospective students to pick Saint Petersburg over Moscow.

Racism.

I know many people are curious about this. I can't pretend or lie racism doesn't exist in Russia but Saint Petersburg is the most liberal city in Russia, so even though some kind of subtle systematic racism exists here, it is still the most welcoming city for foreigners in Russia. I will do a more in depth video or post about racism in Russia in the near future.

Black in Russia.

Like other cities in Russia, it's still difficult to see black people here. Maybe because those that came in illegally during the last world cup don't leave their apartments. But that aside, I think Saint Petersburg has a higher number of black people than other Russian cities. My university has at least 40 or more African students here at the Saint Petersburg Campus.

Last Semester, my university held its annual Culture fest and I was invited to represent Nigeria at the HSE Culture day 2019. I prepared jollof rice and at the end of the culture fest, my jollof rice was adjudged the best food at the fest. It was really exciting to know that many people were genuinely interested in learning about Nigeria's culture, food and way of life. I'll post pics from the event below.

Also with me were my friends Florence and her younger Sister Grace. They both go to my university and they are really wonderful people. Words alone are not enough to describe how amazing Florence and her Sister are. I remember last winter, I caught a cold, I couldn't breathe properly and I honestly thought I won't make it through the night but Florence and her Sis sat by my bed all night, with aboniki balm and prayed fervently for me till I fell asleep and when I woke up in the morning, I was better.
They're super amazing and you guys will see more of them soon.

Also, I just opened a YouTube channel called Afro Rossiya TV. My aim is to document and share my first hand experience as a black foreign student in Russia so please subscribe to my channel.
This is my second video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNAACpu7znM I went on the streets of Saint Petersburg and asked Russians how they feel about Africans and Foreigners in their country so please watch, like and share my videos please. The opening of the video also has some aerial shots I took in Saint Petersbug.

I will write in this thread then share videos on my YouTube channel so abeg make una follow me all platforms.

Peace and Love always.

So I went to the streets of Russia and asked Russian what they think about Africans and foreigners living in their country and here are the responses from the few people who were kind enough to let me interview them.

I'm also back on this thread and I will post updates frequently on this thread so see you guys soon.

The pictures below are from the cultural day at my university HSE.

Good morning guys. I often get emails from people who want information about the admission procedure in Russian universities. I've talked about this in the past and I gave comprehensive details about the admission process and visa application but let me touch on it again.

Like I tell everyone, you do not need an agent to do this for you, the process is very transparent and you can do it yourself. I did mine myself without agents and you can do it too.

Right now, admission has started in every university in Russia, admission procedure varies from one university to the other so I’ll recommend every prospective Master or Bachelor's Degree seeking student visit https://www.bachelorsportal.com/ and https://www.mastersportal.com/ and then search for their desired course while ticking Russian as destination country. Visit the school’s website and then get all the information they need.
The name of my university is National Research University Higher School Of Economics Moscow. My school also has campuses in St Petersburg, Perm and Nizhny Novgorod.
Admission into Russian universities are transparent and open to everyone and tuition feee is always around $1500 to $10,000 depends on the school, state and language of instruction. Studying in Russian language is always cheaper than studying in English, but first you need to learn Russian language for one year in the preparatory department.

My schools website is https://www.hse.ru/ in my university getting admission into Masters program is easier than Bachelors, admission into bachelors degree programs requires a compulsory entrance test in Mathematics, Physics and English or Russian language, depends on the program. I don't think the Masters degree programs require any further entrance test just your BSc result and transcript.

There are also scholarship opportunities for all programs from the Russian Government and each university also offer discounts to best performing students.

For prospective Bachelor's degree students, you need to write an entrance exam so prepare for this. Also note that to study in Russia you first need to go to Ministry of Education in Abuja and certify your WAEC result and your BSC cert if you are going for masters, then proceed to Ministry of Foreign affairs to Legalize the waec and bsc and you also need to legalize those documents at the Russian embassy in Abuja before applying for visa.


The process isn’t as hard as you might think so don’t fall victim to agents who will charge you exorbitant rates to do this for you, as long as you’re not lazy, all the information you need is available online before you ask anyone questions, just go to google and search or go directly to the schools website or send an email to the school and they will reply you. You can process everything yourself.

All the best to everyone applying.
