Perhaps you have been watching too much CNN and MSNBC.

Please provide evidence of US sponsored bio labs in Ukraine. There is none.

[Penetrador]

Perhaps you've lived there too long. This is a Russian lie. This is Russian disinformation. This is Russian trash.

The fact that the president's son (also a monger like us BTW) was 'allegedly' involved in financing biolabs in Ukraine, which could be used to produce bio weapons doesn't give the US a good name at the moment.

Better leave Russia before Hunter releases the bioweapons.

Does anyone know if you can enter Russia from the Latvian border without having problems regarding covid? I'm asking because as far as I know you can only enter by air but because of the special operation in Ukraine finding a flight directly from London is impossible.

I can't answer your question, but I think due to the current situation with Ukraine, Covid seems to one least problem at the moment.

Just my two cents.

I live in Moscow for now. I'm not American, but I look quite foreigner / Western.

There are different opinions. I asked a WG recently about her opinion about the current military operation (don't use the term "war" if you are in Russia, it can bring you legal problems), she said that she has relatives in Donbass. These have been terrorized by the Neonazis of the Azov Regiment for almost 8 tears, so she is 100% pro Z.

Last summer the New York Yankees caps were Very Popular in Russia. Trendy. Last week was sunny, so I went to a grocery store with the cap. The cashier looked at my cap and then noticed my accent (it was a issue with card), then she behaved unfriendly. I didn't understand why. Some days later I went to the same grocery store. This time wearing no cap, 100% she didn't remember me, when she asked for "Paket nuzhno" I just nicked. No sound from my mouth, her behavior was much better. If it's connected to the current political situation I don't know.

The US Embassy posted this waring:

"Do not travel to Russia due to the unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces, the potential for harassment against USA Citizens by Russian government security officials, the singling out of USA Citizens in Russia by Russian government security officials including for detention, the arbitrary enforcement of local law, limited flights into and out of Russia, the Embassy's limited ability to assist USA Citizens in Russia, COVID-19 and related entry restrictions, and terrorism. USA Citizens residing or traveling in Russia should depart Russia immediately."

I love Moscow, it was my favorite city in the world, but it is just not a good idea at the moment. Let things calm down then go.

Things have calmed down if you really look at it.

I'm living in Israel with dual Israeli / US citizenship. I think Israel may not be included as unfriendly, although, weirdly, we are banned at this time due to COVID. There are currently flights from Tel Aviv to Moscow via Istanbul with Turkish Airlines for normal prices.

I'd like to travel as soon as possible. Perhaps I can take advantage of the weak ruble. How are Muscovites treating Westerners especially Americans? As I understand it, before the war, there was a generally positive attitude.

Looks like this will be an academic discussion, Lavrov is saying that Putin will close access to "unfriendly" countries.

Screw what the state department says! We just want to have sex with the finest Russian pussy whether in the strip clubs or salons. Putin did say they have the best hookers in the world remember?

I agree with you. I'm not going to talk politics. I'm not going to start a revolution. I just want to spend time with a few very friendly barely legal blonde girls. My question is however: When people hear the American accent am I going to get hit on the head with a bottle of vodka? Or is everything still OK?

[Penetrador]

What is attitude toward Americans at this time in Moscow? Are we the enemy who is destroying the Russian economy or it's not a problem?

I'm curious because the US State Department is advising Americans not to go to Russia and if you are already there, leave immediately.

I was in Moscow just a few days ago. I visited 8 strip clubs and 3 restaurants. I saw just a few foreigners like me during my 3-day trip.

All my business trips to Russia have been cancelled again for obvious reasons.

Are there any foreigners there right now? How are you handling money given the restrictions on banking there?

Has anyone entered after the sanctions, and if so, what did you bring in terms of cold hard cash?

I will likely try to visit after the summer when things are more stable, but want to make preparations in the meantime.

Foreign credit cards do not work. So you have to bring cash (USD or EUR) then exchange it.

Hotels and restaurants never accept foreign currencies, but strip clubs do.

Duty free stores accept USD & EUR.

I heard that Russian cyberbank issues nameless debit cards for foreigners especially for those who don't want to go around with considerable amount of cash.

And if you run out of your money, there will be no chance to transfer money to Russia. Therefore, you should bring much more money than you expect to spend. The max amount you may bring is 10 K USD.

You need to bring the small white immigration paper with you when you go to an exchange office. Otherwise they exchange money up to $400 only.
