This comes about from strained relations (diplomatically, not on the street) resulting in "tit for tat" regulation retaliation.
I believe this one followed the British stopping postal applications for UK visas and demanding every applicant attend an Interview Centre in person. Fine?
Well think of a family of 4 in Vladivostock thinking of visiting UK. They all have to fly to the nearest Centre. It is in Novosibirsk, half way across Russia - a total of nearly 46,000 kilometers to travel just to get the visa. Visiting UK is on top of that.
No wonder Russia gets pissed off and adds more restrictions for Brits.
Alastair Campbell's Government's attempts at rock gardens in Moscow parks didn't help either!
