Since Masha Gessen quite literally believes that the Russian “liberal” intelligentsia is God’s gift to humankind, she writes the following nationalist nonsense with a completely straight face: In the seven and a half months since Russia launched its full-scale invasion, hundreds of thousands of Russians have left their country. Many of them are journalists, writers, poets, or artists, and they,…

how much tourism do you usually get in georgia?

A LOOOOT dude our economy is based on tourism, i deadass miss seeing more georgian people outside lmao, especially fucking RUSSIANS cuz we're one of the only countries who allows them to travel freely

I’m so beyond tired of Russians basically shitting on my country like this. The same country that they invaded and pillaged. After complaining day and night about how “disgusting” my home is, raising rent prices for locals and harassing young Georgians, who don’t know Russian, they still refuse to leave despite the fact that nobody is begging on their knees for them to stay.

I’m tired of entitlement, bigotry, disrespect, lack of empathy, etc. I’m tired of seeing them harass service workers. I’m tired of seeing their sour disgusted faces. Im tired of them screaming nationalist slogans in public spaces. I’m tired of everything Russian.

I’m fucking tired.

Staré město is such a sucky place like no I don't want everything weed or your ugly glass I just want to buy a hyperspecific book and maybe visit a church you don't even get to practice languages anymore because now everyone just leads with English

foreign tourists are usually nicer than the locals bc it's hard to throw a tantrum when the person in front of you doesn't speak your language but that sure isn't going to stop italian tourists from trying

Roman Holiday

A still from the motion picture Roman Holiday (1953). Courtesy of Republic The debate about whether Schengen visas should cease to be issued to Russian nationals has tilted in a completely wrongheaded direction. In fact, it should not focus on the right of Russian nationals to visit European countries, including as tourists, but on Europe’s right to protect itself and to take measures that…

The EU has shut its airspace to Russian planes, so, as a workaround, Russian tourists are entering Finland by car and travelling internally within the Schengen zone.

Porsches, Bentleys and other luxury cars with Russian licence plates are filling the parking garage at Helsinki airport as Finland becomes an important transit country for Russian tourists flying to Europe. A quick stroll through the car park at Helsinki airport revealed dozens if not hundreds of high-end cars with Russian plates, including a new Mercedes-Benz S-class sedan and Porsche 911 Turbo S.

The Finnish foreign minister, Pekka Haavisto, said Finland had become a “transit country” for Russian tourists. “Helsinki airport is seeing a lot of Russian tourism at the moment,” he added.

According to a survey conducted by the Finnish border guard in August, about two-thirds of Russians crossing Finland’s eastern border do so with a Schengen visa issued by a country other than Finland.

Haavisto said Schengen rules do not allow Finland to close the border to specific nationalities since such sanctions can only be decided jointly by the EU.

“As Finland and the Baltic countries are planning to restrict these visas, it would be good if all EU countries took similar decisions,” he added.

The Nordic country intends to raise the issue at the next meeting of EU foreign affairs ministers in the Czech Republic on 30 August.
