Is there an Exchange Traded Fund for the Russian stock market that I could buy into. I have done zero research re Russia but a month or so ago I read that it was a bargain and things have only got worse since then. Maybe buying direct would be better as the drop in the rouble would be more noticeable as ETFs probably hedge against exchange rate risk.

There may already be a past thread on this which you could point me to.

Anyway I use ASB Securities who charge an arm and a leg for anything outside NZ & Australia, so recall reading that Options Express or Interactive Brokers might be the way to go for overseas shares.

Obviously a lot more reading is required but thought I would ask first about what might be the best way to go about it..

Is Gazprom still around (the sharetrader poster not the company).
