content: You can pay with any Visa or Mastercard, no problem. Mir is a card of its own type and is not what most of people in Russia use anyway. It's by far less popular than Visa and Mastercard. Do you watch Bald?

content: Yes whatever card you decide to use it is a good idea to call your bank and speak to them about your travel plan. This will help avoid sudden blocks by their AI fraud algoritms if all of a sudden a transaction pops up a few hundred miles away from your home.

content: QuoteSure and I wish I would understand one word Russian.QuoteThere are the different Types of Visa, Master in the World what I learned.QuoteYes outside of the EU i will do it. I can maintain it Online to.In my case its just an idea. I will fell much more comfortable when I know that I can look online for Connection and in the Case I will fly someday to Russia I can book the Ticket in advance and know that I get 100% my Seat. I am not someone who like to share a Compartment with someone unknown. Especially when the are maybe drunk. I am not in the mood to restrain someone in a foreign Country when I can avoid it.
