Hi everyone!

I have a little question:
Russian people accept foreign people? I have read that Russia state don´t want foreign people and only want national people. This is similar to Franco regime in old Spain. I´m afraid I can´t go to visit Russia or I have problem with that. And What about between russian people and spanish people? being Spanish, Could I have a problem in Russia?

Thanks

This is not true. The source that wrote such thing are either uneducated people or liars.

I don't know what happened in old Spain, however you won't have problems with russian authorities.

No. You should not have any problem with Russian people.

The phrase I've heard from one Russian girl. She has been a translator.

- Recently I worked for one Spanish guy. He is short, black curly hairs, fat, lively and so-o-o-o-o cute!

Thanks Ender, sorry, I didn´t want to be churlish. I hope the people of Russia to be like you. I´m thinking to go Russia on summer. I will see if it´s good depending on money because I haven´t a lot of money Sad and maybe Russia is expensive.

Greetings

I think you make a confusion : immigration <> tourism.

If you suceed in getting a Russian Visa = you are wellcome in Russia. I don't think it will be so difficult for a spanish citizen.

Anyway, like in any country, if you respect people, if you don't mess, you will not have troubles.

So many Russians visit Spain and love it. I think you will be talking to many friendly people.
If you avoid Moscow and main cities, it will not be so expensive. Plus the ruble is getting lower, the euro will have a better trade.
