They only made a joke once and asked if I had weed on me😅.

      It is not real security check and you don't come to air side. It is like in several other countries, there is a pre security check before you can enter the airport building and come to the arrival area or the check in. Same is in Turkey for example. The real security control to come to air side is later.

    Hi Josh, I had the pleasure to work in and out of Moscow and St Petersburg for 20 years. I saw the good and bad of the country within this time. The architecture, museums and as you said the Metro is stunning in Moscow as well as St Petersburg. The people I worked with were amazing, but sadly we lost the office over what has happened.
    You are right, Moscow is a bucket list city, in Winter as well as summer.
    If I remember, the Raddison where you stayed is part of Stalin Sisters, which are 7 near identical buildings around the city. I used to stay in the Hilton Leningradskaya which was also one of the sisters. The hotel was just amazing, we stayed there a lot and even received an invitation to the staff party which is something that I will never forget.
    We always flew BMI (back in the time) and then British Airways in and out of DME and then the Sapsan train up to St Pete's. The BA crew were not allowed off the aircraft, so it was one of the longest working days for them within the BA fleet.
    It was always interesting going in and out of immigration, even with a full working visa sanctioned by them...!
    Happy Travels , your vlog brought back a lot of fond memories.

      They (border guard, part of FSB) interrogate people from "Unfriendly countries" and also Russians who left the country avoiding mobilization or who emigrated some time ago. And that's why they're asking if you have a Telegram account - if you're a Russian citizen and you wrote something against the war or Putin's regime in private conversations or even if you're subscribed to some "wrong" channels - you'll definitely have a huge fine or even could be imprisoned from 2 to 15 years.

    Hi Josh! As a Muscovite, I'm really glad you liked the city. I've been to many capitals around the world, but Moscow will forever hold a special place in my heart. Next time, try to come to Moscow in the summer, so you can walk around and enjoy the architecture and parks without freezing! As for the interrogations, unfortunately, they can happen in these difficult times. Even Russian citizens are sometimes questioned. The key is not to have any compromising content on your phone (cat photos are fine), and also, no matter how "friendly" the interrogating officer might seem, it's not wise to be too honest with them. It's better to tell them what they want to hear, not what you actually think :)
