international travel/online gambling questions.

[DaycareInferno]

at the end of the year i am moving to moscow from the US for a few months with my girlfriend. i'm pretty stressed about it, because not only do i have all the typical things to worry about, like passports, visas, getting dumped in a frozen hell where i don't speak the language, etc, i also have to worry about how i am going to get my money there.

i don't know anything about russian online gambling laws, or what i need to do to be able to get money in and out of my poker accounts once i get there. i'd like to have it taken care of ahead of time so that i don't have to worry about being stuck without an income once i get there.

i was thinking about opening a bank account in moscow with my girlfriends name also on the account, and then just making new poker accounts in her name, but i don't know how easy or difficult making the transition is without doing that.

i'm going to start researching, but if anyone knows anything that might save me some time, i'd much appreciate any advice.
