I have a 17 year old Russian friend.
He seems to be some kind of prodigy when it comes to computers. He has been messing with computers and software for a long time. He is always mentioning some random project he is building in a new language, or some weird aspect of computing he is exploring. Hes made his own games, his own game engines, done stuff in assembly, C, C++, C#, python, javascript, etc. etc. all off his own bat.
Also he is very creative and makes art and music and weird 3d animations.
He's in what he calls college now, which is a sort of halfway between school and university, coming from his current college he can do a uni course in systems administration, afaik this is his only choice and the most computery uni course he can do.
My advice for him is basically...
1. Do some kind of computery uni course
2. Get a computery job in an EU country and go live there.
* What would your advice be?
* Can you go into any more detail than I have done?
* Are any of you Russian emigrants working in computing? What was your story?
Thanks!
