its not like that they will loose their time with that, either way if you report it the women can always pay the policeman, which arenmt expensive....give a policeman not from Moscow or Leningrad 20 euros and ur free, might be more expensive in Moscow and Leningrad....
Russian Law is a joke, and as we say: "Laws are made so the police man can brake them, Constitution defends you....when you use it to hit the policeman in the head" |

Hello,
I am a newcomer on this forum, so I don't know if this has been addressed yet...
What is the age when one is typically allowed into bars, nightclubs or discos in Russia (St. Petersburg, to be more exact). I'm going there next summer with my younger brother (who is 17) and some friends, who, like me, are over 21. My brother doesn't really drink, but I just wonder whether he will be allowed to bars or discos? I have been there many times, but this hasn't been a question before this time. And I know we could get into some bars, of course, but we would like to get into some *nice* bars or discos (like Club Metro) and not some shabby joints...
Thanks in advance. |

Just make sure he looks 18 or older. I have friends that are 17 and they get in 85% of the time. They will not ask for ID if he looks old enough.
Have fun,

If you have been scammed by someone in Russia, then report it to the FSB by email. The FSB are like the FBI of Russia and they deal with any cross-border crimes. Before you report it, write it up with all the details, names, dates, places, etc. Get someone to review this with you. If you are too embarrassed to show it to a friend, then go to the local police or FBI and ask them to make sure that you have written it down clearly and in full detail.
Then email it in plain text form (not a word processing attachment) to this address: fsb@fsb.ru. Make sure you give them your name, phone number and postal address. If you have documentary evidence, such as Western Union transfers, offer to fax it to them if they provide a phone number. They may not need the faxes if you write all the details in the email.
They recently arrested a gang in Ekaterinburg after a Canadian man went to Russia and filed a police report. This gang swindled at least 40 other men using a Russian bride scam and fake agency. They are now facing up to 10 years in jail for their scam.
The Russian police do take these things seriously when they are reported. Also, remember that there are income tax laws in Russia, like in the USA. Do you remember how the big Mafia dons were brought down by tax laws? It works with Russian scanmmers too. If the police in Russia cannot find enough hard evidence for a conviction, they can turn over the Western Union records to the tax man and people have been hit with fines or prison sentences in Russia for failing to pay income tax on money received by scamming westerners. |
