The law on visa-free regime for transit tourists, allowing them to stay in Russia within 72 hours , in the near future can touch and railway travelers - the relevant amendments were prepared by the Ministry of Transport with the assistance of Rosturizm, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Federal Migration Service and the Federal Security Service.

At the moment, the new rule concerns only foreigners arriving in the country by air communication m, but Russian officials do not see the reasons why it can not be extended to rail transport . Nevertheless, not all representatives of the tourism industry see on trains the key to updating the law adopted in November . The history of visa-free entry for The 72-hour period was much more successful, if not for the adjective "transit" . In fact, a negligible number of foreign travelers visit Russian cities by passing to other countries . As Alexander Rostukrism noted repeatedly Andr Radkov, the innovation will receive a significant boost only when it spreads to all guests who have a return ticket .
