1. Russians are still welcomed in North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and similar dictatorships.

2. It doesn't look like anti-Russian propaganda.

3. Hahahaaaaa! Europe is a small party of the world. If Europe weaponise their tourism why Russians don't tour other parts of the world? Africa,Asia,south America,…..?

4. Depressing country

5. Sanctions are sanctions but it’s unfair for the average Russian citizen as they didn’t choose for their country to commit war crime atrocities & it’s not like they had a choice in who represents them !
   Putin needs removing from his position & to be tried for his crimes.

6. In the comments ruzzians snub Western Europe, but I remember very well how there were swarms of wealthy ruzzians visiting Europe for shopping before poootin ruined their lives. Nowadays they are much too stained with all the bloodshed in Ukraine to ever be welcomed again.

7. If I were a Russian, I would visit Thailand China Indonessia India or Middle east because they totally different and cheaper. St Petersburg alone is way more beautiful than most European cities.

8. What a f***ing shame the despicable cnuts can't holiday abroad. Hopefully they will never be able to. I hate them.

9. Russia out of Ukraina!!

10. Couldn't go to Crimea?

11. Life in Russia is becoming more and more unbearable on a daily basis. We are starting to enter a phase of survival. We are not thinking about going on holiday abroad, but simply fleeing Russia.

12. Excellent news! I know very well how the locals were treated by Russian tourists in many popular european destinations for them! Also, these people go on vacations and travel as if nothing is happening, and try to make us believe they are suffering, they are also victims and we should feel sorry for them?

13. No Europe for Russian Orks👍 !

14. It is very unfortunate that Europe and the Western world have turned sports and tourism into politics
    .Now, with all the Western products, I think the world's confidence has risen, they use their products as a weapon.

15. If we look at the numbers, Europe has statistically never been the top travel destination for Russians. They have always largely traveled to Türkiye, Thailand, and Egypt/UAE.

16. Putin has ruined Russia.

    Russians can’t travel, their athletes can’t compete in internationals like the World Cup, Olympics and Champions League. Their wealth is diminishing, their talent is leaving. Their young is dying on the battlefield in their thousands each day.

17. I like Europe and european culture.
    But Russia is a huge place to travelling. We've had a chance to explore our own country.

18. If you have an entire continent for a country, maybe you should explore that first. But the irony is, that it is not the Russian "dictatorship" that stops Russians from travelling, but the "free democratic West".

19. Come to Africa

20. It's quite fullish to think that abroud is only Europe. The world is huge and you will find Russian tourist s almost every where. But I glad some leave money inside Russia instead of N A T O countries

21. Russian ranked 1st for trouble maker foreign people in Indonesia

22. Funny that Russia is just as good, but it's the first time they've travelled in their own country.

23. They should stay there forever. We do not want these war criminals in our countries.

24. They wouldn't be there if they weren't forced to be there.

25. Europe is not the only place in world, there are many more entertaining places to go than Europe

26. ❤ 🇷🇺

27. Let them stay there, we don’t want them here.

28. Russians never had visa free travel to the EU so went to Turkey or Egypt I believe 🙄, or they travel to their dacha’s outside Moscow in the countryside, most have never been to Europe so no big deal.

29. And so, we are all dancing on the volcano.

30. This people are denying secondary victims,but also by their silence are guilty of enabling junta.
