What was predicted a few weeks ago. After a forced reduction in the diplomatic state, the Americans reported that they suspend the issuance of visas to the Russians - in Moscow until September 1, in other consulates of the country for an indefinite period.
He canceled the issuance of visas in the United States to all Russians. The children of the State Duma deputies will go home the next flight.

Finally, a visa-free visa came to Russia! We go without visas, they sit at home without visas. All the old visas would be cancel.

Sensation of a slowly lowering curtain ...
Finally the first strong step.
American visas. A strong answer. If the Russian authorities do not bend, then in the future a long -term and very deep freezing of relations.
Now the Russian government will understand that Obama was a wise and patient bunny. The current president of America, in comparison with the previous one, is a mutant hybrid, as in the American series "Menary".
If earlier, asymmetric answers between the United States and Russia were Putin's prerogative. He could, in response to a slap with a blow of the subsid, as it was in 2013, when, in response to the American list of Magnitsky (corruption elite participating in fraud and the murder of Sergei Magnitsky), Putin signed the "Law of Dima Yakovlev", which prohibits the adoption of Russian orphans with American parents. Then it was a nonsense for the whole world. But even after Putin, more than once demonstrated the "diplomatic" blows of the subsidies are completely asymmetric. For example, the destruction of sanctions products from Europe in response to the introduction of sanctions against senior Russian persons.
The Russian media, along with the illiterate and cheers-patriotic part of the population, then mocked the miserable, in their opinion, by the diplomatic answers of the West to the next Putin provocations.
But now everything has changed.
Donald Trump has the same set of complexes as the Russian president, so in response to another asymmetric blow to Russia, an even more asymmetric response of a larger scale follows.
In response to the slap of the hook on the left, in response to a blow to the kidneys, the pursuine blow.
The show is a magnificent, with intrigue, as they say, since the unpredictability of the response step will be as large in full swing as the expectation of a series of the game of the throne to find out which of the main characters decided to "remove" from the series.
Living series. Santa Barbara of the 21st century.
It is a pity only the consequences will not be cinema. And real people will suffer from this game.
The main joke to the occasion, apparently, here.
Now Russia with America is visa -free.
- Minpand (@crimeapanda) August 21, 2017
The Ukrainians now have visa -free visa -free travel with the EU, the Russians are now visa -free with the United States. And it seems that the word is the same thing, but what a different meaning. :)))
- Ezhoff Band (@m_ezhoff) August 21, 2017
Miserable gunpowder achieved a visa -free visa just with Europe. And now we have visa -free visa with America itself!
- CITS (@cits1512) August 21, 2017
This is a visa-free visa-haired.
A gift for Independence Day to Ukraine.
The Russians now also have visa -free travel! And not with someone there, but with America itself! Just American consulates took and closed from today throughout the country and the point. No visas. Donald Trump does what Clintonich would never have decided on.
This is how the country lives t̶r̶e̶t̶y̶g̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ ̶ of the fourth world. In third world countries, at least American consulates are working. What pleases, beer stalls are still functioning.
The EU cancels the visa regime with Ukraine, and the United States suspend the issuance of visas to Russians. Actually, all this was already visible in March 2014, just these bonds have different, and long, deadline. Yes, we still really did not start to pay. It just doesn’t happen that both the Crimea and the American visa are in the pocket at once
Other jokes, however, also more than.
The United States suspended the issuance of visas to the Russians ... Why a visa, if there is a Colorado ribbon? Put on a ribbon - feel like a Colorado!

The State Department did everything correctly.
In any countries, the political future is determined not by the majority, but by the minority that dictates to the majority, how and what to think.
The voter of Putin from among 86% did not go, does not go and will never go to America.
And the creative class and serving the regime officials of different links, including security forces, swore, and their families - this is what it is necessary. Because there is no Crimeanash, and trips to New York and Miami.
USA, do not "fool around", stop generally issuing visas to the Russians. For the country, there are no more shock for the country of sea spiritual patriots. You now accidentally stepped on them on the most sick corn - and then did not come, Putin himself put your leg where the diplomats should be expelled - and now take it and <snit> already on your own and properly. Surprise how they can. This is I am a national traitor that destroys Russia with the money of the State Department, I do not care about the USA, and for the generous Russian patriot, the inability to settle from Mayam is an intolerable blow. Still stop feeding them. And sell iPhones. And no humanitarian. Then I really believe that Putin’s regime can collapse in a couple of years.
The fewer visas, the more squeal. And good.
Love Putin stronger. Maybe the Americans are scared, and in general the embassy will cover?
The news shockly commented by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :
"As for our response actions, as I said, we must study in detail the decisions that the Americans have been announced today. Let's see. I can only say one thing - we will not tear off evil on American citizens," Lavrov said at a press conference with the Egyptian Foreign Minister with Samakh Shukri.
“That is, if someone hoped that in this case a bad example would be contagious, then he miscalculated,” the minister added.
Lavrov also stated that Washington’s decision was called upon to cause discontent to citizens of the Russian Federation by the actions of the Russian government and lies in the line of logic of organizing color revolutions.
"The first impression is that the American authors of these decisions started another attempt to cause the dissatisfaction of Russian citizens by the actions of the Russian government," Lavrov said at a press conference in Moscow, answering the question of "Interfax."
"This logic is known, this is the logic of those who organize color revolutions and this is the inertia of the Obama administration in its purest form," the minister said.
Just two newsheads: we will not tear off evil on the Americans. Pozhar in Rostov-on-Don: fire destroyed over 100 buildings.
- Stalker (@valbodin) August 22, 2017
“We will not tear off evil on the Americans,” said Sergey Lavrov. Indeed, why, at hand, there are always Russians.
- IVAN DAVYDOV (@ivan_f_davydov) August 21, 2017
And Lavrov is right - to be a color revolution! As all the mischievous in the States will gather, but how they go to the Kremlin, and the Maidan will seem to be a game of classics.
- Mikhail Losev (@losevmn) August 21, 2017
I believe Lavrov. Evil will be broken as usual on their citizens.
What to prepare for? What are Russians capable of who are capable of flying to the United States?
Teachers will declare a boycott to the beginning of the school year?
Drivers of buses, trams and trolleybuses, and the truckers joined them, will begin to block federal tracks?
Locks and plumbers will announce the All -Russian strike?
Peasants in protest will turn harvesting?
Police and judges will be depressed?
Singers and Pevuny will cancel touring stars?
Why prepare something? Already buy salt and matches? Or is it too late?
Lavrov says that the Americans "set the goal of the color revolution" ...
But it seems to me that now Russian citizens are not up to fat ... We are not necessarily a color revolution ... We would at least be ...
But Gennady Zyuganov , perhaps, Lavrov surpassed :
“This should be expected, one should not be upset about this,” Zyuganov said on Monday to reporters after a press conference in TASS.
“I think, [the issuance of visas] will be restored, now they will figure it out, they will restore ... They [in the USA] have their own bacchanalia worse than we had in the 1990s. They found their own ducks there, which in order to blame the [US President] Trump, the country has split horizontally and brought the matter to the demolition of the monuments. The politician explained.
“But, apparently, the local oligarchy, the globalists do not spare anyone, just to be the feeding again,” he added.
“They [the USA] tried to promote the Russian topic, but did not find any evidence of intervention. So now they promoted a new one,” Zyuganov concluded.
Zyuganov does not even have a porridge in his head, but some kind of digested noodles sticking in a slimy lump.
You can find contemptuous replicas in the spirit "not very much and necessary."
The United States has suspended the issuance of visas to the Russians. 99% of Russians are on the drum, but with conscientious liberal nourishments of mourning
- V /// DY ™ (@zybb_zer0) August 21, 2017
If the decision to suspend the issuance of visas to Russian citizens wanted to “punish” the Kremlin, then this is a miscalculation. And all this looks like small revenge.

So it turns out 755 extra American diplomats, 183 thousand visas were given out in our year, less than one visa per day each? Darmoists!

But in general, the situation with US visas, this is of course laughter and sin - I will spite my mother's ears to freeze. The answer was so -so, not very
- Eldar Murtazin (@eldarmurtazin) August 21, 2017
Goodby America, Oh?
Ours promised to answer mirror and immediately. Let's see.
Moreover, there are different questions. If visas are now issued only in Moscow (limitedly), then why are consulates needed? In Yekaterinburg, say. Not needed after all. We have no use from this. They still don’t want to talk to us anyway, what kind of connection is there? The ambassador in the capital is enough for now, no?
Or will we again show “wisdom, endurance” and will not answer “short -sighted unfriendly steps” so as not to close the “path to dialogue”?
The State Department of the United States announced the temporary suspension of visas for citizens of Russia. This, of course, is complete absurd. Washington’s diplomatic war with Russians takes on an irrational character when they begin to beat in their own. After all, the USA uses the current or potential friends of the United States. The US government is implementing multimillion -dollar exchange programs with the aim of young bright smart Russians to go to America and forever become US friends. And now the State Department is friends with these programs for promoting the interests of the United States.
All this says that the hybrid political war of the United States and Russia has lost its meaning in many ways and has become a hostage to the internal struggle in the United States.
References to a decrease in the number of diplomats are simply funny. Greece has diplomats ten times less than the United States, and gives more visas.
In practice, I think the new ambassador, Hartman, will come, and will restore visas. Because the suspension of issuing American visas to US citizens is just stupidity, evidence of inadequacy. Russia, I hope, will not respond to this stupidity with the same stupidity. Let citizens of the United States go to Russia calmly. But in response to launch the TV channel in Russian to Ukraine, it would be a real political answer.
But the dominant opinion - the US decision beats on ordinary people (especially in the province) and only enhances the isolation of Russia.
It turns out steeply to get a visa in the United States all of Russia will fly to Moscow for an interview! Undoubtedly, we crashed to these pindos!

It would be rye if they decided to issue visas only in Vladivostok. That would be Bathert.
- Anton Polynchikov (@antiflasher) August 21, 2017
And I would have closed the issuance of Omerican visas everywhere, and I opened the issue point in Vorkut. That would be trolling!
Imagine that now a resident of Nakhodka, Petropavlovsk or Vladivostok for a visa and an interview will have to go to Moscow, while only airline tickets are often more expensive than a trip through the ocean itself.
It is done incomprehensible why. To work, the consulate is enough for a maximum of two dozen employees.
I remember how the visa chores of the inhabitants of the Krasnodar, Stavropol Territory and the Rostov Region were facilitated when the Greek consulate was opened in Novorossiysk and the need to go to Moscow.
Thousands of people: both local Greeks and not Greeks went to relatives, on vacation or do business. Greece simply swung open to local residents, and transportation costs have decreased many times!
We will not take the “oligarchs” and the people are quite rich - they don’t need to worry about them - they will find a way out, but for ordinary citizens they want to visit, visit tourist places, go to study or medical clinics future trips are significantly complicated.
In turn, if Russia, in response, closes its consulates in Houston, San Francisco or Seattle, then those few American businessmen who want to visit their partners or come to negotiations will also be faced with serious difficulties - you will have to fly to Washington, and this is at least a two -day trip itself, a hotel, a hotel, and this is a time for business A person is quite problematic.
Cool, we punished Americans, I think.
As always: all Russian response to Western sanctions is sanctions against its own people.
Expected decision. Harmful solution. At first, the Russian authorities habitually bombed Voronezh, sending American diplomats, who just issued visas. Then the United States itself went to the principle and, thus, strengthened the isolation of Russian citizens - namely citizens, not Putin. He will reach where he needs.
The Kremlin, I am sure, is satisfied, since now ordinary Russians will not be able to get to another country, becoming hostages of the next suction officials and oligarchs. "We cannot - and you cannot."
We are more and more isolated from the world, and it is a pity that the world does not understand, playing in the hands of the current government.
It is surprising that the noticeable part of the liberal public and the media is almost gloating about problems with American visas. Meanwhile, this is a sensitive blow to the freedom of movement of Russians, which directly inflicts, oddly enough, not the Russian government.
In America, which now became even further, I was only twice. The first trip, in the late 90s, became a real cultural shock, especially struck by the tall New York, which I had fallen in love forever. At the same time, both times annoyed all these lines and interviews at the embassy. Those trips were official who did not allow to see a lot, and in recent years I carefully suffered the idea of a new big trip, but now it is completely incomprehensible whether it would be possible to realize these plans, because I may not have enough strength and patience to spend six months on a visa.
If Trump thinks to annoy Putin in this way, then he is unlikely to achieve the goal. The Russian authorities are not at all interested in our citizens freely go to America.
I would generally abolish visas for Russians in place and introduced subsidies to air travel from Russia to the United States so that tickets cost three pennies. Because it is possible to defeat the scoop in their heads very simply - people need to come to the United States, look with their own eyes at what is happening there, how and who lives there, and already based on what they saw to form their own opinion.
I have been living in the States for another 2 years, by the time it will need to change it and there will be no country by the Russian Federation, I really hope so.
Let's send one person to the United States a year and he will tell us about America
You can declare a casting of such a person. There are applicants.
