Good. Why are they allowed into the EU anyway?

To flee the terrorist dictatorship and give their workforce/money to the EU? People who are leaving the oppresive state deserve a chance for better life. Don't give an equal between the people and the state/government, please.

On a tourist visa ? I don't think so.

You can't legally work on a tourist visa, and if you're only here for a holiday you're hardly fleeing the Putain dictatorship are you ? Just taking a pleasant break from it.

I've met these "Russian refugees" you speak of. They just don't want to fight the war, but they whole-heartedly support it. They come over completely brainwashed talking about how "the West is too LGBT and DEI", unable to see what that propaganda did to their country. If Pootin wasn't president there, they'd be praying to some other shitty God who tells them how the West is the enemy.

Russians shouldn't get VISAs, they should be classified as refugees and put into refugee camps where they learn the local language and have to learn what democracy is.
