CUSTOMS REGULATIONS FOR RUSSIAN CITIZENS

$24.95

---------------------------------------------------

Accurate information about Russian laws and regulations is not easy to find, especially if you do not speak Russian. On this site, we are attempting to fill that information gap.

This particular brochure critically examines the claims that the many Russian ladies (and men!) supposedly traveling to another country make about the so-called "solvency money" (often called "pocket money," "cash money," "money to show to customs") that they are required to show to customs officials,  and about the supposed regulations governing the ability of Russian loan holders to travel overseas. It also examines claims about the situations when an undeclared item of value, such as an icon, a ring, or some prescription medication, became a problem for a departing Russian citizen traveling overseas. 

To provide our audience with the most accurate information about those complex issues, Elena Garrett (the owner of this site) contacted the Customs Service at the Sheremtievo airport in Moscow and videotaped an interview with the representative from the Customs Service of Russian Federation, Officer Igor Lukichev. The interview was conducted in August of 2009.

Officer Lukichev was kind enough to comment on the various claims that Russian ladies make about the requirements that the Customs Service imposes on the departing passengers.

The translated video recording of the interview will hopefully be available shortly, but in the meantime, Mrs. Garrett put together a brochure to make the content of the interview available to the site's visitors as soon as possible. In the brochure, the transcript of the official interview with Officer Lukichev and excerpts from letters of several Russian women are presented side by side for easy evaluation. After you finish reading the brochure, you should know enough about those matters to feel confident making decisions on those issues.

The cost of the brochure is $24.95. Most proceeds are used to assist the victims of the Russian dating scams with filing criminal complaints with Russian authorities.
