- Millions of Russians are spending their summer break at home this year as Western sanctions and travel restrictions shut the country off from most European tourism destinations. "It's scary now," says Olga, a Russian tourist, about travelling to Europe, adding, "For now, I think that Russia is every bit as good."

Russia out of Ukraina!!
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.
💯👍🏼
Unfortunately, money wipes away a multitude of wrongs. They'll be back
@@milayabox We hear the russies before we see them. 🤫
Well, many countries are guilty of what you're saying.
Honey, there re still swarms of WEALTHY russians in Europe, nothing changed for them - they BOUGHT citizenships of civilized countries long time ago. Poor russians are the ones who stay home now
Nothing wrong with traveling and seeing the beautiful sites in Russia, spending their hard-earned money in it instead of abroad, and helping grow its tourist industry. By the way, Russians can still travel to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa and a lot of countries in Latin America.
Also Serbia and Turkey they can still go
Yes . Youvcan always tracel in the PRICS Alliance countries.
It's the developed World that won't have you.
😂😂😂😂😂africa😂😂😂😂😂yeah.
@@bambinaforever1402 Where's that?
Funny that Russia is just as good, but it's the first time they've travelled in their own country.
Yeah, they should go to belgorod or kursk.
It doesn't look like anti-Russian propaganda.
Tourism all over the World 🌎 is on a sticky wicket...Japan pretty much don't want *anybody* visiting
@@robbiekop7nobody wants anyone visiting anymore, in New Zealand we just added another $100 entry fee, on top of other fees, so a family of 5 could cost close to $1000 in fees just to enter our country, but to be honest Disney is still more expensive and no one wants to go there anymore either
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?
Depressing country
France?
@@p.k.blazingsun Vive La France
Very beautiful country and lots of places to see,in winters all European countries weather is depressing but in summers Russia is very beautiful and not very expensive….worth visiting
Thank You...A balanced perspective
Very depressing and really dangerous, especially in countryside.
No Europe for Russian Orks👍 !
Demasiados næzis en 🇪🇺
@@Zodamay zigger👆
And from what I've seen no Europe for American goblins
They wouldn't be there if they weren't forced to be there.
Looks better than Chigaco & Philidelphia
The price of agreZZion
If everyday Russians could see how Russian oligarchs live and travel, they would have a different perspective.
When I was still at school, Saint Petersburg was already one of the popular tourist destinations across Russia, so France 24 is making it sound like it only happened for the first time. Guys, your info is a bit outdated lol
Thats pretty dumb. Having no possibility to travel to the EU doesnt mean that Russians are left only with domestic travels like this piece implies. The EU is like 10% of the world. Russians still can vacation in Turkey, Egypt, Thailand, Vietnam, Cuba, Sri Lanka, China and have dozens of other destinations to choose from.
That’s pretty depressing 🤷🏻♂️
@@markgjidoda2745 why?
Living in a country at war with its neighbour IS depressing indeed but travelling in South East Asia? Hardly depressing at all. I wish I could go but with the cost of living crisis here in Australia, I can't even travel interstate let alone overseas. 40% of Aussies can barely make it from payday to payday. Now that's depressing.
@@markgjidoda2745 Most major western EU destinations are already completely ruined by the immigrant hordes, with countless more every single day. Now there is also a chance for another monkeypox pandemic thanks to the liberal degeneracy of the EU government (unrestricted African immigration + promotion of sodomy).
Expensive
@@aumelbmountains of garbage every corner. My only memory of south east asia. At the end we got hotel right on the shore and just stayed there, nothing to see except garbage everywhere and awful architecture, actually NO architecture at all. Or city planning.
Use your holiday to kick out Putler. At least you are doing something useful that way.
Having been to tourist places where russians frequent then it is no wonder there is conflict.
Witnessed a group of russians bully and bludgeon a restraunt owner. Sickening.😢
I no longer go to these places. Sad for those nations to put up with bad behavior.
Couldn't go to Crimea?
Very big for Africa safari .. kenya has recieved 120,000 more Russians in the last 2 years
There are scores of Russians visiting China, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, etc. along with the Middle East region like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Oman as well as Turkey. I also saw so many Russians when I visited Central Asian republics earlier this year during Easter break. So my guess is very few Russians who want to go abroad will face challenges unless they specifically want to go to a Western country hostile to Russia.
By contrast, can you do a comparison of where Ukrainians are visiting, particularly the men?
Ukraine was illegally invaded in a 3 day SMO started 920 days ago, they are fighting for their freedom.
Many of the best educated Russian men, over 1 million fled Russia which is why so many are living in foreign countries
DW wants you to feel bad for the poor Russians,DW will never tell you the world is bigger than EU
.
They are defending their nation from a hostile neighbor
@@FRONT-l2i Last I checked, they were trying to flee, and the govt. preventing all men of fighting age from leaving the country.
There’s Russians doing the same thing and going to Turkey and Georgia 🇬🇪 and still the Ucranian men are defending their nation from a hostile neighbor
There's lots of beautiful places at home, it's time to see them.
How much is the ticket from Moscow to Baikal lake? Only for this price I can spend a week in Greece with my family. 😂
Russian ranked 1st for trouble maker foreign people in Indonesia
I can't believe China didn't win the Gold in that event 😳
@@robbiekop7Russian criminals in Indonesia are usually : overstay, illegal work/business, drugs factories, se'x workers, robbery & fraud by not wanting to pay debts or not wanting to pay employee salaries.
China ranked 2nd : The last 5 years more than 500 Chinese scammers fake relationships on several applications have been arrested by the Indonesian police on several islands, illegal mining, illegal business/work. Chinese Sca'mmers also commit fraud against people living in China

Come on who believes in that.
Really? No Vietnam, Thailand or Bali? What a piece of BS.😊
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.
Slava Ukraini!!
So it's like life pretty much everywhere then ?
You think it's much better elsewhere? And you're not speaking for all Russians. Hubby is half Russian and has got a big family in Vologda etc. They're ok, many of them hate the weather though, that's why some are fleeing.
Ukraine is waiting for you! Its borders are wide open.
Europe is not the only place in world, there are many more entertaining places to go than Europe
Tell that to the North Africans
Yeah, like USA for instance. Also forbidden for russians
Who wants to see Paris anymore? Not after the failed Olympics.
Going to Europe is overrated anyway .
Fr, i rather visit Japan,china,korea or hongkong or even the Caribbean
You wish 😂
It's getting more expensive for sure
@amunra5330 better you stay at home, in EU we are already have so many tourists that people start to make protests
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".
I look forward to the day when Russians can travel in Europe again. But as for your type of Russian, please stay at home. But you must be outside of Russia now, because your wonderful free country has effectively banned TH-cam.
So the "free democratic West" is not entitled to have a visa policy? They are supposed to let everyone in?
We simply do not want them here for a reason. They do not deserve it. Travelling is not human right.
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.
Because it is cheap, they are treated like Kings by locals and they love feeling superior
Those who did not have any money did
Thailand doesn't seem to be out of reach. Plenty of Russians there.
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.
Russia has many nice places to visit. Please don't spend your money in overrated hyped EU countries. They lost more than Russian tourists.
Home is the best
Choice and freedom to travel is even better.
True....But Home 🏡 is a place you always want to return to
Russian tourizm is record high in Thailang, Turkey, UAE, China etc.
Perfect! I don't want to see them in normal countries!
Oh you forgot North Korea and Cuba 😂
Cool. Me as Polish can travel all over Europe without being confused with Russian FINALLY
During Soviet times, it’s the communists who were not letting the Soviets out the country, now the West closed its borders to Russians. Times have sure changed. Russians will finally spend all their money in Russia improving Russian economy. Good for them!
What have they done to deserve this?
We don't care much about not being able to visit Borrel's wonderful "garden" with bedbugs. 😆
and de don't miss you!
I like Europe and european culture.
But Russia is a huge place to travelling. We've had a chance to explore our own country.
You will have the chance to only explore your own country for the foreseeable future. A sad life when you work had and earn money but can’t see the world.
Enjoy. It is never going to be the same again.
@@DecievedREALITY999 i know it's hard to believe but Europe is not the whole world. There are so many amazing places I can arrive.
@@christianjambou8208 you don't know history much if you think so.
without you and other russians, a lot of destinations are better
Better spend your holiday money on domestic place than abroad
And so, we are all dancing on the volcano.
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.
Europe's lost. They shot themselves in the foot trying to spite Russia 😂😂
Russia shot itself in the foot by starting a war against its neighbor. And there is no going back, life will only get worse in Russia and this will continue for decades to come.
Hahahahaha BOT
@@emmabrooker166 Truth hurts😃😃😃
We are very very happy not to have the filthy backwards and rude russians any more in france.
I love western and central europe, and hope one day to visit eastern europe, when it's safer to do so. Слава Украине!
Go too south asia....
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,.....?
Because you need a visa to come America, because we know once you come here you’ll seek asylum.
We don’t need visas, same as Europe.
@@markgjidoda2745 why going in Europe or America? The world is bigger than you can imagine! If Europe and the west don't want you visit and parts of the world. Period!
@@imvanotv106он украинец
@@markgjidoda2745 информация для украинца: россияне получают американскую визу. И европейскую тоже) немного проблематичнее, но всё есть.
Oh man...when the EU and Russia will sign up a new peace and trade agreement? And, Russia is not a part of Europe?
Do you think things will go back to normal any time soon?
@@svenandersson284they never will. Decent people are outraged and rightfully holds all ruzzians collectively responsible. After all, it is they who keep poootin in power. In Scandinavia, Britain or France, in any other country except North Korea, allowing a poootin to stay in power would be unconceivable.
No way. Maybe in 100 years
..no, not really...Asiatic, despotic, dictatorial regime..No human rights, no freedom of speech, a catastrophic war on a neighbor...Etc etc...
Russia excluded herself from Europe and we owe Russians nothing
Don’t cry for them…..as they are all in Thailand, Malaysia, China ….
We welcome the Russians as we are neutral.
Wait until a big neighbour ( China ) starts taking bits of your territory. Then we will see who is neutral.
Defend Europe
Russians will need to find lots to do at home as they wont be allowed to leave.
And as a result Russia is prospering.
😂😂😂😂😂
Declining population and out of control inflation is not prosperity, it is survival. When you spend 40% of gdp on military, you know you are in trouble. The gdp of the whole of Russia is the same as New York!
Being the largest economy in Europe by a good margin and 4th largest economy globally that's growing faster than any country sanctioning it really speaks for itself.
Europe faliment 😂😂😂😂😂
❤ 🇷🇺
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
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.
Это не санкции, а рестрикции, а с Путиным мы как нибудь без вас разберёмся
Putin himself,alone, is on the war ground? He pushes the button of the missiles that strikes civilians?
Вот наглость! За нас что-то решать хотят)
holiday in North korea or Iran
Russia is the largest country in the world and it has so much to see. Much more than Europe will ever offer.
.i. Russians
LOL
You can always go for a beach vacation in Crimea (heh ... heh).
Visiting elsewhere other than the West thank you😊
No really, thank you!
Come to Africa
They couldn’t afford it.
oh please, do not come back!!!
