Novokuznetskaya has a new Ramstore, and it's in a shopping center that features free wireless internet access.

Excellent! I'm hoping to have network access in my dorm room, otherwise I'll have to do all my forum posts, all my website work, and everything else offline, then haul myself down to a free (or pay) WiFi hotspot, which I'm not looking forward to. I'm hoping to purchase a handheld (either Palm or PocketPC) as a quick way to get online at free hotspots without having to drag my laptop around all over Moscow.

Thanks for the heads up!

I wouldn't count on it. A Russian dorm with high-speed access ? I highly doubt it unless it's a special recently-renovated dorm just for foreigners. If it's a regular Russian dorm room, you'll be lucky to have a phone for dial-up access.

Someone else here mentioned that at least one of the dorms for Moscow State now had internet to every room. I don't know if that's the dorm I'll be in, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm not too incredibly worried about it, but I prefer to work online rather than do everything offline, then go connect at a hotspot and upload everything, etc.
