I have a small question about go back and come back
What option is more suitable in this case?
I'm talking to my friend who lives in Russia (I've been there recently) through cell phone... Now I'm in Brazil my Country...
And then I want to tell her I'll go/come back to Russia next year...
Should I use go or come here
Russia is far from where I'm now (so I first thought about using "go"), but Russia is in the direction of my friend the listener (so I should use come?)
Which one is correct in this situation? What's more natural?
Thank you in advance..

The verbs go and come are directional and relative to the listener (usually)
I tell my wife that I will go to work early and come home at supper time.
I tell my boss that I will come to work early and go home at supper time.
You should tell your friend in Russia that you will come.
There is a exception when "going someplace together."
A) Do you want to go to the movies with me? (emphasis on going to the movies)
B) Do you want to come with me to the movies? (emphasis on coming with me)
