I hope to move to yoshkar-ola russia maybe in the next year. I wish to buy a house and start a business there ie a shop selling english products does any one have any advice how i get started. I do speak russia and been there many times as my girlfriend lives there.
I can give advice that you should factor in what is going to be the mafia's take once you are established there and they come waltzing in through your front door with their hands open for their weekly payoff. Also be very careful buying property, you can very easily buy something that is being sold to 2 people at the same time and you or someone else gets stuck with a boatload of money missing and no deed in your hand. Having been there many times I assume you know about these things?
