question about entering Russia with an Israeli passport

[Genevra Gerhart]

This was hearsay:
I was told that beginning I believe last August, Russians could go to Israel
without a visa and Israelis could go Russia without a visa.
Too bad we can't do the same.

Subject: [SEELANGS] question about entering Russia with an Israeli passport

Does anyone have recent experience entering Russia with an Israeli passport?
I have been told that Israeli passport holders (even dual citizens traveling
from the US) do not currently need a visa to enter Russia, and am wondering
if this is actually the case. Does one need proof of a hotel reservation in
order to do this? Is this agreement familiar to border guards?

Thanks,
Amelia
