I know a guy who went and got arested right in the airport. He was a citizen (27 years old). Also, they just passed a law in Russia that even if you are > 27 years old, they can still put you in jail until you are 40. It's not guaranteed, but I would not want to take this risk. Especially now, with all the action in Georgia...Good luck..

Well ole boy, your link means nothing to me nor my wife. I've read all the horror stories about traveling to Russia and we've never experienced any of them....maybe we go first class and follow the rules of her country, and other countries we've visited. I did make a call to our embassy here yesterday and discussed this with a very nice lady there. She laughed and told me that as long as our travel documents were in proper order and we had broken no rules then yes our embassy would help her because she is an American citizen with American passport. Maybe you read to much...why don't you just mosey on over to Russia and see what happens....mabe they'll keep you and we won't have to deal with you anymore.. tuller If you called a Russian consulate or the embassy, there would be no nice ladies or gentlemem. You wouldn't even be able to get names of the consulate clerks answering your call.
