IT... you may want to try [url]http://translation.paralink.com/translation.asp[/url]
This site allows you to see the reverse translation when you do a translation. I find it helpful because some of the English words have multiple meanings and the translation only picks up one of the meanings which can totally mess up the translation.
Of course, this probably doesn't matter if you are tranlating full webpages.
A bit off topic, but does anyone know a place that will register you w/o the landlord letter? They just tightened up their visa laws agian and if you have 2 registration violations you will be denied a visa. Almost no landlords here will never provide the letter as they a) don't want to pay taxes b) are to lazy to go down to the living committee office c) are afriad that they will appear on radar of some petty offcial
So now Russia, a hugely underpopulated country with a massive population decline has actually made more difficult for outsiders to enter into its territory. Waytago, boyz!
Peasant:
Where are you living? Essentially whomever made your stay arrangements should also provide your registration, respectively whomever issued your visa invite.
If a hotel, then your hotel should register you, for free.
If a travel agency issued the invite, they should register you.
If the travel agency won't or can't do the registration and you are staying in an apartment, then the apartment agency should offer this service for about $30-50.
If none of the above can do it, some hotels will do it for a fee of one night's stay, usually about $50-100, for example at Hotel Pekin. Some will do it for less I am sure, but you'll just have to try.
There are numerous "dubious" agents who also provide registration services to foreigners and non-Muscovites (you see their ads plastered everywhere around Moscow) but I personally have never gone that way since the people issuing my visa invite register me for 6 months.
In some country threads there are sections only focus on women in those countries (ex: China Women-opinions and advice)
Why don’t we create a thread focus on Slavic women. Besides our sexual experiences, we might share our opinions on Slavic women.. How we become addicted; the reality behind our addiction.
I will be honest; I am addicted to Slavic women and others don’t attract me any more.
Peasant,
There are some travel agencies, easly handle registration. You don't need any kind of invitation letter. It may cost you something around 300Rubles. Check on web.
Big Bro:
Its a good idea, actually its been proposed a few times. I think it would be fun since the subject matter is one that affects many of us.
I can't imagine an existence without the pleasures of Slavic women...
Maybe several of us can send PMs or post on the Suggest New Topics board?

Dude, I told you, its in YOUR DNA. Its your basic animal instinct
to fuck to reproduce the species.
Also, trust me, them turning you on has as much to do with
other cultures, especially american women, turning you OFF
because of their lousy greedy cold attitudes.
If you were stuck most of the year in the US of Abstinence,
you would just as gladly fuck some hot Peruvian college
girl as you would one from Serbia. I mean, anything that's
foreign, even orientals or skinny Indian pussy from Trinidad.
What matters is that its foreign. Now, when it comes to
selecting a travel destination, that is different. 13 vacations
in a row for the last 6 years to some dreary industrial soviet
block steel town, when I could be anywhere else like Bora Bora,
means the Slavs exert the ultimate pull on my soul. The
sweet nectar from their sex organ that they share keeps me
comng back and buzzing around looking for a new supply
because, well, I just want it more than anything else. If I
was sitting in Bora Bora enjoying the beauty of nature, sunshine,
clean cool waters, fresh seafood, tropical breezes, I'd just be
depressed thinking about the sweet muffin I left behind in
Rostov.
There is definitely something wrong with that, but, well,....what
are you gonna do? When you're hooked, you're hooked.
And bringing one home with you is just a lot easier said than
done, and a whole 'nother subject. For you few lucky bastards
that have jobs or income that let you actually live there all
the time, well, fuck you, we hate you!! :-)
Don't get confused by peasant's question... The letter that he is talking about is if you are renting an apartment from a RU landlord or if the apartment service is not doing their job and turn you over to deal with the RU landlord. If you try to register yourself, you will have to get the RU landlord involved... He will likely NOT want to pay the community services AND run up a red flag for the tax police that he is making money on rentals. Technically, you must be registered to an apartment, or hotel, but as doc said there are places who will register you... one I know used to register you for $50 or $60, Peking Hotel, Room 629, it is a travel agency ask for Layla.
Of course the other letter is the invitation letter for the visa, tourist or multiple entry and this is part of the visa process and not the registration process.
peasant you are correct that RU continually makes it more and more difficult to enter and stay in the country... it's that constant harrasment that forced me to consider Ukraine as an alternative and I am very glad I did. The stress level here is about 20% of Russia. Not to mention the current 28C temperature varitation and the $30 no holds barred sex we've been enjoying! :)

There might be lot to forget, but these are the most common ones.
Ca_T:
I was referring to the fact that whoever issued the invite, whether it is a hotel, travel agency/apartment service or a company, is theoretically responsible for your visa registration and if you want long-term registration of 6 months, they are the only ones theoretically able to do it.
Notice my emphasis on theoretically... Russian bureaucracy is a pain.
Ukr vs. Rossia:
Admittedly, Ukraine is a very attractive place to visit... hot women, cheaper prices and no visa/police hassle. It's definitely a friendlier place in terms of that. I cant wait to visit again.
But if I had to choose between Ukraine and Russia I'd still pick Moscow's unique flair, wild, loving Russian women and big city life hands down over Kiev, Odessa or Ukr. I have yet to find a city that has the same combination of available, approachable women, night life, big city flair and youthful energy that Moscow does. Just as you said about Odessa however, much of Moscow's flair and attraction is under the surface.
Thankfully, I can also choose to have both... :) So see you in Odessa... hopefully soon!
doc... I probably wasn't clear either... If you have a long term rental, your landlord must pay the community services. Then you take the receipt for that payment to the company who issued your visa and with that receipt the 6 mo registratin will be made. It is a two step process which the landlord must be involve in.

Hi,
was several time faced with this problem and could saddle for myself a very special way....cannot explain, just that much that the police officer should pay me in order to keep his job.. :-)
Following expierences I made using a registration service announced in the metro middle of last Year:
*Used a friend of mine to call the phone no. in order to fix an appointment and get the adress
*Meeting point was next to there office outside (the like to check the people before they will tell you the final adress)
*Went to a underground office and paid 20€ for a 6 days registration(so far so good)
*They told me they would need 1 working day to arrange( thanks god it was Monday)
*Left my Passport there in very bad feeling
*Tryed to call them all next Morning....Was more then happy to reach them in the late afternoon
*Went again to there office (did I mentioned it was 8 Metro stops far away from Centre?)
*received my passport with registration!!! Yes, you really learn in Russia to enjoy simple things
The sense of this story?
They registered me somewhere at the end of Moscow, it was even immpossible for me to spell the name of the area, street name, no. of house, no. of the entrance, no. of the apartment + the name of the apartment owner...
Thanks god in this week no one police guy stopped me because I would have been in much bigger trouble with this registration since I could'nt explain why a german guy is having such strange adress....
Better ask people they know how to deal with this and pay the 50 bucks for it with pleasure ...

Does anyone have taken this compagnie to go to St peters?
How about security, ponctuality and services in board?
The price they offer it's the cheaper i have found.
They use a Boeing 735 for international flights and a tupolev for local (CIS).
MR
Maha:
I fly Pulkovo all the time and so far they havent crashed once while I was aboard. :) (knock on wood)
Its a St.Pete based airline and they recently introduced Boeing 737s. Should be a reassurance, but lately aging Boeings have been falling from the sky more often than the Tu-154s and Il-86s that they used to fly internationally, see recent Boeing crashes in Greece, Africa, South America, Asia, USA.
Flying is always a risk, if you think any single airline is perfectly safe, you are mistaken. On international flights Russian airlines perform very well... the only recent crashes were not the fault of pilot or aircraft, but rather European air traffic control. Nearly all Tu crashes in the last 15 years were on inner-CIS flights with oddball airlines...
OK, service, food etc. on Pulkovo is average at best... but my luggage always arrived, flight was (almost) never late and it is cheap. The 737s are a definite improvement on the Tus and Ils, which got you there, but in which cabin comfort for the passenger sucked... hated those seats.
Another option is SAS, which flies over its hub in Copenhagen. Nice airport. Flights from Europe to St.Pete are fairly cheap.. maybe not as cheap as Pulkovo, but in the same ballpark.
My advice Maha, fly Pulkovo. Save your cash for the dyevs. They'll thank you in their own special way. :)
My ex-gf in Moscow just wrote me:
"a girl offered me a job, ahaha sitting near the web cam and immtating the orgasms... the foreigners behind the screen, via i-net for sure
'live' chat.... 2 days a week, 2 hours... just chat and then during this 2 hours i have to get undresses 500$ a month i refused now.. but really not bad cash for this job"
Not bad work if you can get it... :)
What's the world coming to? :)
