Russian President Vladimir Putin in his State of the Nation Address to the Federal Assembly called for easing visa restrictions for tourists and expanding the issuance of e-visas, TASS reports.
"There is a huge interest in Russia, our culture, the country’s nature and historical landmarks. Given the experience we gained during the FIFA World Cup, I suggest expanding the issuance of e-visas. We need to think about easing visa restrictions for tourists coming to our country," he said.
