WARNING: Why You Should NEVER Travel to Russia Right Now

German Justice Minister Drops Bombshell Travel Advisory

In an interview with a news mag Stern, Germany’s Justice Minister Marco Buschmann has issued a warning that will make think 69 times before booking that ONE (way) trip to Russia.

“Nobody Has Been Safe in Russia for a Long Time”

The Harsh Reality of Traveling to Russia

Picture this if you can. You are walking Moscow by enjoying the sights and then suddenly you found out that you’re hauled off by the FSB (that’s Russia’s domestic intelligence service, in case you’re not up to speed on your spy acronyms) for some made up charge.

Even before you feel what’s happening, you’re already a political prisoner.

Sound far fetched? Think again. Buschmann’s warning is a chilling reminder that Russia is not the safe destination you might think it is for the tourists.

"I Strongly Advise Against Travelling to a Country Where Nobody is Safe”

Why Risking Your Life for a Vacation is a Terrible Idea

You might be thinking, ‘But I’ve always wanted to see kremlin and try some authentic Borscht’.

Let me bonk you with a reality check. There are plenty of other places you can visit that won’t land you in a prison. Trains are trains and as for borscht? there’s a thing called Internet. Look up a recipe and make it at home.

The Shocking Truth Behind the Recent Prisoner Swap

There was a major prisoner exchange between Russia, Belarus and several western states in the last week. Moscow released 16 people including the US journalist Evan Gershkovich and former marine paul whelan. They got a bunch of convicted criminals including Vadim Krasikov who is a secret service agent and assassin who was locked up in Germany for murder In return.

The Terrifying Possibility of Poisoned Prisoners

Buschmann was worried that Russia might have pulled a fast one and poison the prisoners before the swap. You got questions? that’s the thing the FSB does.

They use poison to destruct humans lives or health either directly or indirectly. Charming! innit?

Why You’re Not as Safe as You Think

You think Putin cares about who you are?

You think the FSB gives a shit about your Instagram followers or your X engagement?

No! They Don’t! They’ll snatch you up faster than you say ‘I’m just a Tourist’

And don’t think that you’re safe just because you’re not American. Remember that this is coming from the German Justice Minister. He’s not talking about American safety but about the human safety.

Why Risking Your Freedom is a Terrible Idea

I get that you might be thinking, “I really want to go to Russia. It’s on my bucket list”. Let me ask you this.

Is it worth risking your freedom?

Is it worth risking your life?

Yet you wanna go is just like rolling the dice and hoping for snakes but not the ladders.

Tensions are High, and Russia Isn’t Playing Nice

Talking about political climate — Tensions are high and Russia isn’t exactly playing nice with the rest of the world.

You think they’re going to treat you well just because you’re a tourist? Fuck no! They’ll use you as a bargaining chip faster than you say ‘Political Pawn’.

What should you do instead?

Listen to our Buschmann.

Heed his warning.

Don’t be an idiot.

There are plenty of other places you can visit that won’t land you in a prison cell or a hospital bed. Do yourself a favour and remove Russia off your visiting list. NO VACATION IS WORTH YOUR LIFE.

Be prepared for the worst

And if you still want to go, don’t say that I didn’t warn you.

At least make sure you have a good lawyer on your speed dial and a get-me-out-of-jai card in your phone case.

Spoiler alert: You need it more than money.
