The EU-Russia readmission and visa facilitation agreement in a comparative perspectiveSeptember 16th, 2020
When strolling the tables of the annual second-hand book market of my local library in September last year, my eyes fell upon a little orange book with the strange title ‘Het Land van GOS’.1 I bought the book and read it during my September holiday. It was the diary from Dirk Tieleman, a Belgian journalist who had visited the states that previously formed the Soviet Union in 1992. I was fascinated by the changes in legislation that opened up the previously inaccessible inland of the Russian Federation for foreign travellers. Some remnants of the old Soviet Union still remained in 1992: for instance, it was still possible to access all the countries of the ex-Soviet Union with only one single visa. Anecdotes like these triggered my interest in the topic of visas.
