FR claimed recently that their several routes to Poland are becoming an imminent success. Polish workers and English tourists travelling both ways. However, Poland is already the EU member, Russia is NOT becoming one. As Goldeneye noticed:
all passengers travelling to Russia require a visa. And its quite a hasstle to get it
Hence, is it really too distant perspective for FR to plan some enter points to Russia, like the mentioned Finnish Lappeenranta? Certainly, it could be so. But anyway, all attempts to anticipate Russia's future moves tend to prove very demanding usually.
Just recently there has been reports (RBCdaily) that Russia's government is preparing some very significant changes in their visa policies to improve still insubstantial flow of European tourists to Russian cities. It could actually mean letting tourists in (rather than selling visas). And as they have in Russia numerous tourist attractions (not only in St. Petersburg indeed), the list of popular travel directions in Europe would need to be adjusted.
Meanwhile FR start testing Rzeszów in Poland as the enter point to... nowhere(???) - well, there are mountains with well-preserved nature and there is Ukraine nearby. We'll see...
