Please find the reasons provided by the Russian government's tourism minister for why right now is the perfect time to travel to the nation:
1. Since there are no commercial flights into Russia, you won't be tempted to buy an overpriced plane ticket and waste a load of your hard earned cash
2. Since you'll be just about the only tourists traveling there, you'll have the whole country to yourself
3. A lot of Russians are out and about at the moment, so it's a great time to walk the streets and immerse yourself in the rich culture
4. Finally, you won't need to worry about currency conversion because Russia's currency is beyond worthless
