I contacted some terps as well and was told it's very difficult to find an ASL terp here. I guess I'll have to take a crash course in RSL and it's not that difficult to learn quickly. I know Russian language but not fluently but learning RSL is quite easy since I can memorize RSL using English words. Actually, RSL originated from France just like ASL. About 20% of ASL and RSL are the same like 'fish' for an example.

I've heard that some Deaf Russians in New York don't know English well but they learned ASL very quickly. I will have to find RSL book here in Moscow since the internet only gives very little.
