:) Actually i am not sure about "freelancer market in Russia" :) - I am not sure exist it or not :) All freelancers from my kith and kin always work with US\Canada clients. I just trying to give advice to everybody here who not from US\Canada\West Europe\Australia. May be little "criminal" advice:
Talk about your location only is somebody ask
In fact 80% of US potential customers, %90 from Europe and 95%-99% from France and Australia will just disappear after one word like "China", "Russia" or "Belarus". We all live in captivity of stereotypes, and first thought of customers after that word will be something like "O! Interesting... he hacked me already or not?" :) So if you live in Russia, you must drink at least 2 litres of vodka each day and hack everybody, if you live in China, you must use only warez soft and hack evererybody too and etc. And we can't fight against it - they just afraid (and i can understand it :) )
You may follow it or not, but i know few people from Russia, Bulgaria, India and Georgia why have .com or .net domains, SMTP server with hiding "senders IP" and claim that they are from France working with US (because of not so perfect English language :) ), from US (working with France) and etc. And everybody near can't contradict that they have much more money for same job an less "working for free" time :)
