What exactly is the Let's Russia Membership?
In a nutshell, it’s a community for people who live, work or travel in Russia, or are planning to. It’s your personal assistant to everything Russia. The best part is that it keeps you connected with other like-minded people.
Our support team works in the best interests of the members and are dedicated to making life in Russia simpler, from daily life to professional life. We provide up-to-date information, create convenient online tools, vet local companies, carry out research, give practical tips, negotiate the best deals on behalf of our members and so much more.
Who can become a member?
Anyone can become a member! There are three different account types.
Personal Account – For yourself and your family (only for personal use). Free or paid.
Collaborator Account – For companies and organizations to offer special deals (only for commercial use and subject to vetting process). Free.
Student Account – For locals to connect with foreigners in Russia for cultural exchange and language lessons. Free or paid.
Where is Let's Russia located?
Let’s Russia has locations in the USA, Germany and Canada. The Let’s Russia Membership team is based in Moscow, Russia, where most of its members reside. We plan to open more locations across Russia to provide support to the growing community.
What are the alternatives?
There are no alternatives that provide such comprehensive solutions to your daily life in Russia aside from hiring a full-time personal assistant. The next best alternative is to research information on expat forums and groups in social media. These can be very helpful to get general ideas on topics, but details and situation-specific answers are difficult to find.
If you need services, you post across several groups or forums, weed through suggestions and recommendations, communicate with potential candidates thru email, Whatsapp, iMessage, Skype, text, call, etc and then finally make your choice. Finding services in English from reliable providers is time-consuming. Getting insider information takes time not to mention finding reliable and vetted companies. All in all, the alternative is wasted time and exhausted outreach.
