If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

I can just see us westerners; all fighting each-other to get to the front of the queue…
Or; more likely, fighting each-other - trying to push someone-else (anyone-else) ahead of ourselves.
Carson, Segal, Musk, Trump… (add to the list as applicable)…
Do you remember one day, you put a deep smile on someone's face and made them very happy?
(Which rather explains something else)…
(…and the Russians are paranoid that we in the west want to “INVADE” them!!!… Yeah, right… >In their bloody dreams<)!
Cheers!
Is Russia’s evacuation of navy ships from Syria a sign of declining influence in the Middle East?
Yeah, right…
No-one in their right minds would ever, willingly visit Russia!
