Hi. I have a 20-year-old daughter. Recently she met this Russian guy online and they started dating. On Thursday she flew to Istanbul (from our city of Bucharest); on Friday from Istanbul to Moscow. She didn’t tell us she was going to Russia. We found out after she was already there. Since yesterday I can’t stop worrying given the whole situation in the region.
Know someone that did that journey recently, just came back last weekend. Said everything is fine in moscow and you can literally get everything (rebranded worst case). The only annoying thing was money and travel restrictions (i.e. fly over turkey,serbia,…).
So if she is only going to moscow, i don’t think thats much cause to worry.
Edit: i understant your reason to be worried, i am just saying moscow is not a terrible place like one might think from media, and there could be worse things to do. Probably better things as well, though…
They’re staying in Moscow for a week & after that going to Altai for a trip.
