Can I work in Russia during my studies?

In the past, the Russian government did not allow foreign students to work in parallel with their studies in Russian universities, but with the increasing number of foreign students coming to Russia, including Arab students, and the increase in economic activity as well, the Russian authorities have taken a new measure to grant work visas for foreign students. This procedure is not only to enable foreign students to work legally for those who wish to save the costs of study and living in Russia, but also to enable them to obtain the necessary professional experience in Russian companies.
