не сцать в компот
cold winters? let's try our Baltic winter: constant temperature deviations from -5 till +2, wet shoes, rain, wet snow, winds, high humidity and lot of sick peoples around. The regular winter with -15~ -20 is much better.
If your government will open the border for us (imho unbelievable), type rated captains and instructors will not come to you: there is a lot of issues to live in Russia and follow russian rules in the airline. Maximum as you can get - young CPL holders, without TR and jet-time.
