Hi out there in NETland!

I am contemplating investing some money in software development in Russia and
selling it here in US.  It seems to be a good idea since software is a heavily
labor-consuming product with little hardware investment required to start it
out.  As you know, Russia now has a lot of skillful mathematicians, physisists
and programmers who are actively seeking an opportunity to earn any hard
currency.  With exchange rate at rediculously low level and the cost of labor
which is THE cheapest in the world, Russia looks like a heaven for software
development.  Besides, I was born there and lived there until about 5 years
ago, so it is reletively easy for me to establish right contacts.

I would like to solicit your opinion on the following matter.  Short time ago I
encountered an ad of a Russian software company offering different products such
as computer graphics, PC games, learning packages for children with game
elements, and so on.  My question is: Can I try to become a distributor of
their products in US and what kind of agreements are generally required? If I 
had a distribution or licencing agreement with those guys, how would I go
about selling this stuff here? Is there a market for, say, PC games or 
learning packages?  How can I interest big software resellers like CompUSA
or Egghead to carry them? Unfortunately, I do not have any experience in
selling software, so any info on this will be highly appreciated.

Thank you for taking time to read this.
