While I don't necessarily agree it is advantageous to the collective whole to produce educational information which propagates and increases competition; in an fiercely competitive market that is becoming more so every day.
I must say I am really tickled about the response to offering that educational help to Russia/Russians. Some of the most talented and prolific artist in micro are Russian and they have been working in micro from the start. They could teach most of us a great deal.
On another note artist who are talented can easily earn a decent living from micro in countries where the cost of living is lower. I expect to see more and more of the most talented among us cropping up or migrating to countries where living expenses are not prohibitive.
Why do you think, Russia is more cheeper place for a living?
For example food and clothes costs much more expensive in Russia then in Spain!! Really much more expensive)) And also we still have here a lot of speculators who make their living on newbies.
For example - this conference StockinRussia with Lee and Jonathan was about 9000rub or 300$ - this is good price!! It was very useful and interesting)) But we also have a lot of courses which costs about 400-500$ from photographers who earn 100-300$ monthly from Micro without any interesting persons like Lee and Jonathan! Also funny is that they giving information which you can find with help of google for free)) No extra info or something really useful.
so i don`t think that Russia is very cheep place for a living. We have really bad transportation costs system. In europe you must pay one time for 2 hours of bus or subway.. But in Russia you must pay about 1$ for subway even if you are going on next station!! and about ,5 or ,7$ for bus.
So if you need to move one station on subway and then one or two stations on bus you`ll pay 1,5$ or more.. i think it is not so cheap)) And so on and so on))
