Russians, because of delays in issuing visas, refuse American vacation

Russians who planned a trip to the United States will have to wait, or abandon this idea altogether, writes The Washington Post.

“I'm waiting for a miracle to happen. Maybe tomorrow Russia and the US will decide that they are friends, all the embassy staff will return, and I will receive my visa,” says Mohamed Torki, brand chef Holiday Inn in the north of Moscow.

Torquay planned to spend his vacation in July in the USA, see the famous Las Vegas and try steaks in Texas. But instead, he will rest in neighboring Georgia or Egypt, writes the author of the article, Amy Ferris-Rotman. 32-year-old man in a rage.

“Putin doesn’t suffer, Trump doesn’t suffer, but people like me do,” he fumes.

Since 60 of American diplomats were deported last month and the US consulate in St. Petersburg was closed as part of another conflict between Moscow and the West, the next interview for issuing a visa at the US embassy in Moscow is available only in 250 days, the article says.

The visa disaster led Moscow and Washington to another exchange of claims last week, the material says. The Kremlin accused the United States of refusing to sign up for visas for crew members of Aeroflot aircraft. A State Department official dismissed the claims as "unhelpful and simply false."

Two ballet dancers from the Moscow Bolshoi Theater, including the prima ballerina, were denied visas at the last moment, before their planned performance in New York.

Avoiding a daunting 250-day wait, hundreds of Russians have flocked to neighboring former Soviet republics such as Latvia in recent weeks, hoping to take advantage of American embassies in countries not at odds with Washington. A homegrown business of “wine and visa” tours has emerged in the Caucasus, where visa seekers can while away paperwork time with tastings in Georgian vineyards.

One Russian has lost heart: 27-year-old Vladislav Kovalev, desperately trying to achieve his dream of a fairytale wedding on a West Coast beach, writes Ferris-Rothman. Muscovite and his girlfriend Nastya Klyueva want to have a ceremony in a small circle of loved ones against the backdrop of “beautiful rocks and sunshine” of Los Angeles.

Kovalev marvels at how easily couples who have never been to the United States can now fly to Kyiv to obtain American visas. “A wedding in Russia,” he says, “would be simple and boring.”
