RUSSIA - why you cannot visit it right now

 


 Most people try to get out of war zones, for their own safety. And all the tourist destinations are likely to be closed. There are people going to war zones, mostly escorted by soldiers, delivery foood parcels, or medicines or reporting news.

However, even for the bold and fearless traveller there are good reasons for not going.

1 Number one is restricted travel. I looked at the UK advicor on travel by chance, because I was ressseraching the Russian Language for my club on learning languages. Up popped assorted travel guides, and the UK government warning. It said there were no direct flight. You could get there indirectly, via a couple of countries which fly to Russia. 

However, apart from any moral reasons for not going, the practical considerations are the restrictions on travel. The warnings are, 

1 that it is dangerous. 

2 You might not be able to get transport back home again. 

3 If you get into any trouble, the embassy of your country may not be functioning or not be willing able to help you.

4 What's more your insurance is likely to refuse to pay out.
