racedo,
Getting a Russian visa is not a hastle, I got my most recent one in a 'same day' application but postal applications are not a problem however this is drifting off the subject whereas had Shower of ***** Air made an effort to provide any level of quality service on the routes, and the customers that may have come and gone, that they have already had then they might be in a position to maintain the frequency of services on those routes, never mind entering in to debate the feasibility of starting new route(s).
