1. Learn English. Learn English very, very diligently so that you can speak English without a dictionary.
2. It is desirable not to study in Russia. A red diploma from a Russian university does not mean anything abroad, you will have to confirm your qualifications.
3. Correspondence courses or training in the conditional "Oxford" will be a huge plus. Those. you need any certificate of education received from a recognized university in the world or from some educational institution in the country where you want to go.
Without a quoted document on education, it will be difficult to find a job, except if you have already proven yourself in Russia so much that they want to outbid everyone and lure you to their place (this will not happen in game development, I am 99% sure).
And the last. In 5-6 years it is difficult to predict what will happen in the field of game development. Those. it is difficult to say what exactly you need to start learning now, so that in 5 years this knowledge will be needed for at least another five years. Everything changes very quickly, every few years new technologies, equipment, etc. appear. etc.
This I do not intimidate and do not dissuade. You definitely need to study, when you become a good specialist, then many doors can open.

The specialty must begin with the words senior. The end of the sentence is not so important.
Learn English. Not a school or college program, but at the level of fluency in the language.

There are many professions in the field of development.

COBOL programmers with experience are highly valued in narrow circles.

I don’t know what they are called now with us, but study for what is called Computer Science abroad. Which of our specialties correspond to this - google, consider your first homework.
During studies, focus on technologies that are used in game development.
Then you still need to gain experience in this area, at least a little. You can start in the process of studying
And then look for how to move.

It doesn't really matter. Any decent university, where there is the necessary knowledge.
Then on Devgamm and WN you ask for an internship and in the Russian Federation, preferably in a well-known company that is on the market outside the Russian Federation. Then either to a steeper one, or abroad with it.
I have seen many such cases.

Study and work here, but in addition to English, you can learn German. Germany has simplified the procedure.
