Are all SPB 4* & 5* Hotels girl-friendly?
I presume they are and am looking into making a booking in June. Any words of advice or cautions. Shall we start a hotel thread here?
SVR/Interiour Ministry Surveillance (?)
Sirs,
This could be a silly enquiry: but if you were aware of any for this. In the old time during cold war, it used to be that natural resoueces-related personnel are cautioned from state dpt as well as certain British contingencies that we should be aware that the surveillance of Russian intelligence is strict and 24 hours anywhare, particularly petrolium related-personnel. (although I am a useless salaried man, nothing important, nothing worth being survaillanced)
But is it still a possibility in Russia that certain contingencies are listing the incomming foreigner with multi-entry Visa, and trail its sexual traces, or is it already the things of past?
Considering the exhaustive personnel of Interiour ministry, (and I am also too old remembering cold war) I still hesitate going one step into Russian WG. Would anybody possibly advise how safe the WGs in SPb would be?
Moscow also has a lot of their resources, and I am still convinced that the strictness of the surveillance is much tighter against the foreigner with multi-visa or any other which still has liminited number, and possibly easy to categorize for goverment-related workers?
Anybody having suffered any harrasment back home?
Please advise.
