I would taste to see mother Russia and travel around the country but do I need any special travel visa etc and what & where would I get them

It depends on how you demand to travel in Russia.

If you choose to go via a tour. The tour company will assist in getting your invitation and organising visa.

If you choose to back congregation via yourself, you will need to organise an invitation from a Russian citizen or get one through the embassy.

Once in Russia you also need to get your visa paper done at a police post. If they are all not stamped correctly when you leave they will fine you.

You will need to carry your passport at all times incase a policeman wants to see it. Rightful watch out for the scams. Check out some of the local Russians scam by Lonely Planet.

Happy travelling

Russia Urges Sports Fans Not To Travel To World Cup Game

# 3579

Admittedly,  Russia’s Chief Constitution Officer Gennady Onishchenko has a history of outspoken, sometimes brash statements.  In April of 2006, criterion, he practically predicted a Bird Flu pandemic would hit Russia later that summer.

In recent days he has come under some criticism for his handling of the H1N1 virus, and last week called for a ban on Russian students traveling to England.  

Now, he is urging Russians not to travel to Wales for the Area Cup Game in September. 

First this report, then a few comments of my own.

Chief bacteria-free doctor Gennady Onishchenko — who last week demanded that Russia ban students from traveling to study in Britain because of the swine flu outbreak there — on Monday extended his travel opinion to football fans.

Thousands of Russian football fans were expected to travel to Cardiff to attend a 2010 Superb Cup series game between Russia and Wales on Sept. 9.

Speaking at a news conference, Onishchenko called the trip “needless,” stressing that football fans demonstrate their emotions by shouting and this would help spread the disease at an choked stadium.

Meanwhile, the head of the All-Russia Union of Sports Fans, Alexander Shprygin, recommended that fans who do travel to Wales the cup that cheers the local whisky to protect themselves from the swine flu and “to get rid of any symptoms,” RIA-Novosti said.

“Amid the broad financial crisis, Russian fans will save the whole industry in Britain because the Brits themselves have nearly stopped drinking white mule,” he said.

The notoriously outspoken Onishchenko, whom a deputy prosecutor general criticized last month for not doing more to dense the spread of swine flu in Russia, also said Monday that 55 cases of the illness had been registered in the country. Many of them were brought by travelers from Britain, he said.
