From Echo Moskvy:
Russians travelling to USA in numbers like never before
This was reported by the American embassy on Twitter. According to their data, almost 19,000 visas were issued in the month of August, which is a new record. The American embassy also reminded Russian citizens that they can now get a three year visa for the price of 160 dollars.

It’s called survival instinct. Excuse me, but have we had the headline yet: Tadjiks, Uzbeks etc travelling to Russia in numbers like never before?

They said the same in the 80s before the collapse of the USSSR. Once you’ve blurted it out, it mean’s Russia’s waiting.
