Moscow Work & study

Work

Working in Russia can be an exciting, rewarding, enlightening, frustrating insanity- inducing experience. The opportunities for employment have lessened since Russia's economic crash of August 1998, but there are still loads of Westerners employed by multinational and local companies.

If you are interested in working in Russia, Jonathan Packer's book Live & Work in Russia and Eastern Europe is a good reference. English-language publications such as the Moscow Times also have job listings.

The following groups can provide a wealth of information and important contacts for doing business in Moscow:

American Chamber of Commerce (961 2141; www.amcham.ru)

European Business Club (721 1760; www.ebc.ru)

Russian-British Chamber of Commerce (961 2160; www.rbcc.co.uk).
