hi my name is Angel. right now i am 16. i'd like to know how old i need to be to move to russia , and how do i go about becoming a citizen.

right now i live in america, my whole life i have hated it here. im not a good fit in the US nor is it a good fit for me.

i have a friend who is russian but when he was 2 he moved to england, and now in california, but he wishes to move to russia, and my mom has a russian friend that just moved to the US who is teaching my russian. and from what she tells me, it's beautful up there.

so im considering it. right now i just want out of america. and russia sounds like a freat place for me!

How about planning to visit Russia temporarily at first? To see if it matches your expectations? Its a wonderful country with a rich culture. However, the standard of living is lower and, then, there is the language gap. What work will you do to set your new life up there?

Why not start a career in the USA first - earn some money, do some study, and build your work skills?

When you become an adult (18 ), then apply for a 30 Day Tourist Visa and have a holiday there. Then, after your temporary holiday, then decide on your future course action concerning Russia.

I am sure you will love your visit there. But, life is much softer in the West.

It took 16 years for you to understand that US is not good for you. At least you think so. Do you think you'll be better in Russia? Life is hard here unless you are rich, but I guess same thing more or less applies to US.
