Of course, but I think the averages of these are germane to this discussion e.g. I don't think Russia is the next outsourcing hub, but there are undoubtedly nice Russians and English speaking Russians who can't fit with other Russians in one box.

The main reason Russia is not the next outsourcing hub is because it's too expensive country already.

And you still think there is one box you can fit most Russians ("other Russians") into.

Is it not a major outsourcing hub already? There are hundreds (well, I might be overestimating it a bit) of companies there. 2 out of 5 top Google search results for "software outsourcing" are Russian companies.

I think the term "offshore development" is more appropriate. "Outsourcing" is too well tied to "cutting costs".
