Mission Network News is reporting this Moscow news:
Currently, foreigners in Russia only need a visa to teach. A draft bill has been submitted, however, that claims the current policy opens doors for the spread of “extremist ideology, national and religious hatred.” All of this poses a national security threat, according to the bill.
Persuaded by the threats, the Moscow City Dumas deputies approved the creation of the bill last Tuesday which would require a work permit for foreign teachers. This can take months to acquire.
