Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.

[ColonelCassad] Everyone has probably already seen the recent story about a fan of the Ukrainian Armed Forces who burst into tears at Sheremetyevo and was planning to visit Russia.

Due to his mental development, he failed the filtration measures quite quickly: there were compromising photos on his phone, and stickers in support of the Ukrainian army on his laptop.

And how many not so obvious (and therefore potentially more dangerous) guys and girls are turned away by our border guards every day.

I have come across an opinion that there are some excesses with this, and they are not letting innocent and very pro-Russian residents of the former Ukraine into the country in droves. Allegedly, everyone should be let in, and only such an approach will lead to the reunification of the Russian people and the fulfillment of the goals of the SVO.

I consider this point of view, to put it mildly, very naive.

The regime in Kiev understands that it cannot win the war by military means. Therefore, it will now look for ways to somehow influence the situation differently. Including with the help of terrorist attacks and provocations on the territory of Russia. You don’t have to go far for examples.

And in the current situation, it is better to play it safe. The employees are turning away not because they are angry and want to, but because the situation now does not allow for ceremonies. Therefore, at the slightest suspicion, a person is not allowed to enter the territory of Russia.

Such are the times. And, as we know, you can't choose them.

It is quite obvious that until the end of the war the screws will remain tightened for security reasons, despite the possible costs.

After the end of the war (whenever it may be), the screws will start to be loosened. During the war, the growth in the number of recruitments and attempted terrorist attacks makes serious concessions practically impossible.

Especially since relatively recently there were many questions in society about filtering at the border and the penetration of terrorists from abroad into the country.

So the special services will rather overdo it than underdo it in this matter. So no one will definitely let everyone in under a simplified inspection regime. At the same time, of course, there may be situations when they can catch people who are not involved at all. But they will put up with these costs, which will not benefit them.
