If you are not yet in Russia (and not yet seeking to leave) not sure what the urgency is.

If you have ambitions to study in UK, and are capable of doing so (intellectually, financially, emotionally, linguistically etc etc), just apply and see what happens.

the urgency is that I have to apply for the russian visa by the mid of coming week.


and will i be able to apply for British student visa while i am in Russia on student visa, or will I have to come back to my home country and then apply?

Based the UKVI guidance it appears that you would only be able to apply for entry clearance from a country where you are a resident. So the answer would depend on whether you would be considered a resident in Russia if and when you decide to apply.

See https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... the-policy

You don't qualify for a Tier 4 visa for the UK as you have already studied here from 2008 to 2015. This has already been advised and starting a new topic with a variation of the same question is NOT going to change the answer.

Looks like Russia is your best bet.

My partner is Russian and I love Russia, Russian language (very difficult) and the wonderful literature but I wouldn't live or study there, especially if I wasn't let's say, well, white-skinned.

Seems a bit desperate and at the end won't help the OP at all to get another T4, since he's used all that up.
