  2. Yes please. Judging from how frantic the reaction from Moscow elites and their influence operatives has been, this is a sanction that will actually get their subjects to react.

    If you fear for tourists visa, you have no idea what is to come. A full blockade of Russia, so if you have any money, run today. Because it looks like a world of pain is coming your way.
