However, the Russians will not be difficult to determine how to get to the former fraternal republic, despite the bureaucratic restrictions:
- In the "country of fortresses and wines" it is possible to get transit, for example, through Turkey. The cost of pleasure in one direction from Moscow will cost 13-20 thousand rubles (the figure may be significantly more - depending on the price of tickets to a specific date and from the city of departure).
- Another way - through the Republic of Belarus. Travel expenses will be comparable to the "Turkish option" - in the region of 13-20 thousand rubles, because it does not have to be done before Minsk. However, the prices of flight from Belarus to Istanbul are quite stable.
