Theoretically, yes, there's no any exam or something.

,As of my knowledge, their law does not require people born in the country to pass language test. Even the US naturalization law requires knowing English with few exceptions.

What does your name mean? What is its country of orgin?

If you desire to study international diplomacy--I suggest you cease to use the "language of absolutes."

As an obvious reminder, do not forget that the most pertinent information, to support or deny hypothesis, you will be unable to access.

The foreign is the unknown. There is fear of the unknown. Competition exists internationally, without regard to political standing or affiliation. They are over there, we are over here. Everyone aims to protect their own interests...first individually, second via social groupings or caste, and hopefully via country of orgin. And none of these are absolute.

I am jealous that you have the fortunate experience of living in Moscow...how will you treat this information?

Sincerely,
