on visas, postanovlenie No. 635, October 4, 2007

it is in legal force.  it says, item 5.  that a foreigner can't spend MORE than 
90 of 180 days in Russia.

it is in legal force.

it is also, probably not completely thought out.  it would mean that embassies 
have to close, as there is not even a diplomatic exception (well, let's not 
talk about the vienna convention, that's too narrow a group).

it means, that anyone, starting from October 4, 2007 who stays more than 90 
days in Russia can be denied re-entry (despite popular myths you can not be 
denied the right to leave if you are not a RF citizen, b/c you violate your 
visa).

options are:  1. wait for law to change, 2. get a conflict passport, so you 
have two sets of visas.  Any halfway decent lawyer can do this in 15-20 working 
days, for a few hundred USD, or you can do it for free.

anyway why would anyone want to leave a country where this is possible (an 
exact quote from a previous post):

fighting in swards...long and short.

I see myself in a... hmm... long sward, but not actually fighting, I think I am 
more the "watch others in swards" kind of person.

PS.  does this mean that nick and antal have parted ways?  why am I not getting 
the GOOD gossip anymore?!!!
