He and his ex-wife are excellent contact points in Moscow, especially in emergencies, and they have a dacha near Staritsa which they could rent to you and I think arrange tutoring, as well as contacts in other cities and towns, including Siberia. He or Olesya might be a good source to help you with your decision where to go.

I'll personally vouch for them. Olesya's a friend of Tanya, one of my best friends. Olesya and Pasha both have very good reputations and are very reliable.
Thanks for the links. This is what Uncle Pasha does (in his own words):
