The Usa criticised the USSR because it did not allow its citizens to leave the country, and now they do not want to give visas to Russian people. Isn't it hypocritical? Are there many illegal Russian immigrants? Many people have emigrated to America during the last 20 years, but who gained from that?? America. Many young qualified specialists went there. Without immigration the USA simply wouldn't exist. How can they say Russia is not open enough if they made entering their country so difficult.
