Thus, on September 25, one of the readers of “Paper” crossed the border in 1.5 hours to Vartsila.

Another reader, who is heading to Georgia via Finland, was summoned to a separate room for interrogation in Russia. According to her, the border guard asked why she was in Georgia for a long time, why she went there and why she is going now, how she earns, where her parents live and when she “cut her hair”. She was also asked to show the things in the bags. Some men, according to a reader, were let in without question or warning.
