Dustin, I know a male Russian teacher. He's also an English teacher at MGU so he's pro.
He's got time during the day.

A good male Russian teacher. After years of listening to and speaking with Russian women, I've gotten quite used to the lilt and melody of the feminine Russian voice. Unfortunately, the comparatively monotone, and decidedly terse mumblings of their male counterparts remains, to me, enigmatic. In addition - it seems anyone who would become a teacher uses their position to shamelessly practice their English. So, at the risk of inciting accusations of sexism - anyone know of a few good (preferably younger) men? (Real teachers - no "exchanges" please.) -Dustin On Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 2:00 PM, The Vip Moscow ( SwordBros) < [email protected]> wrote: > Anna Dmitreyeva > > + 8 925 509 44 07 > > She is a good teacher > > Best regards > > > *From:* Susie Garden <[email protected]> > *Sent:* Sunday, October 17, 2010 7:48 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Cc:* aislu van rain <[email protected]> > *Subject:* Expat List Russian teacher > > Hi, > > Any listers looking for an excellent Russian teacher?

The problem is that during that time there has been 3 floods, causing damage in places. One from the flat upstairs, one from our boiler breaking and a third due to sub-standard piping falling apart behind the kitchen sink. The landlord knows about these incidents, was there at all of them. The plasma television has also died of old age - the landlord tried to get it fixed but then returned it broken to us. We believe this will affect the return of the deposit. For this reason, I have withheld the last month's rent until we can agree on the cost of damage (and who is responsible). The agents havven't taken kindly to this and are threatening us with immediate eviction. This is correct according to their contract (non-payment of rent, eviction can be within 3 days). Does anyone have any advice or legal tips that might help? BR Nick -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Actually an article by those nice folks over at Alinga seems to have answered my question http://www.acg.ru/english/renting_in_russia 1. Landlords can't evict without a court order (contract termination) 2. Court order is only granted if (I) 2 months of rent has been unpaid (II) you have caused damage to the property (III) you violated the rights and interests of the neighbors So I'll move ahead and try to reach agreement with them over the damage. It's minimal but I have trust issues after 6yrs in the country. :| BR Nick -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
