[@sashiftpi]

I mean, the population of Russia is 145 million people. Are you sure that the capital city is not capable to attract 200K visitors, regardless of the political climate, given that some of the visitors are coming from within the country? I’m not even talking about the fact that there are also some non-western visitors (Uzbeks, Tajiks, Chinese, the Arab world people, etc. )

[@user-rl8hf8kt1r]

[@nahomweldemichael9820]

You talk as if 200k visitors is a lot especially considering how big miscow is. In 2017 moscow had more than 4 million international tourists which is a lot kore than 200k so it's not a surprise to see that the number has gone down to 200k after the war. And I'm pretty sure many people from Asia are probably still going to moscow which might be a reason for the 200k visists

You should not be surprised by this number of tourists, because even the Lenin Mausoleum is visited by more than 300,000 foreign tourists a year.
