605561
well im from Russia and have been back many times.\nthere are no necessary shots for that part of the world...Russia is not a 3rd world country, its not like ur going to India or Africa or the tropics where they have all sorts of fun illnesses.\nthe typical precautions should be taken (ie drink ONLY sealed bottled water, make sure your food is fully cooked and dont eat at shady places, dont eat at outdoor markets) the worst that will happen is u get traveler's diarrhea. As Russian climate is not that warm, there are not insect-related diseases and no recent outbreaks of anything.  its the same as going to Europe. Unless of course ur going to be staying in some backwards village...

Call your health department for a list of recommended vaccinations.  If you take any prescription medications make sure they are properly labeled.\n\nDo not wear any identifying clothes that indicates you are American/tourist.  Such as don't wear a OU T-shirt, etc.  Do not wear a lot of jewelry, do not carry around a lot of money.

I'd suggest dropping at some Russian church or community event and just asking around. You'll probably find someone friendly who could teach you a lot.

Russian I believe, but I can't help with the translation.  Try an online translation site.

First, I will assume that you are speaking of prescription medication.  The answer is yes, you can get the same medication that you get here,  and for less money.  I take a trip there once a month and pick up all that I need. ( I take 13 prescription medications, and no insurance)  When you are going through the border check, it is mandatory that you have a prescription written by a doctor for the ones that you are bringing back with you, otherwise it will be confiscated.  The prescription is not needed at the place where you buy it. I hope this is helpful to you.

In Russia they dont normally issue a visa unless you can prove you have a good job and money in the bank or a thriving business.  That's what they mean by solvent.  Russia wants to make sure you return.  \nProbably a scam but the best website would be \n\nwww.womenrussia.com\n\nIncludes lists and pictures of all the known scammers (see black list)  as well as all the phoney dating agencies.  Also a lot of great informative articles.
