Learn Russian with RussianPod101.com! A woman with a thick Russian accent asks you in Russian if you have faxed your information into their office. YES! In fact, you tell her you have faxed your information to the Russian Consulate four times! Each time you received the same letter back…only they gave you a different reason why they couldn’t approve your Russian tourist visa. You didn’t include enough pictures, or you didn’t send the Russian Consulate the information in the proper order. Thumbing through some paperwork, the tall Russian woman looks up at you as if she has heard nothing you have said. She says, “you need to contact a Russian visa-processing firm!” You demand to know why they waited until now to tell you that! She coldly replies in Russian, “There are proper channels we take here in Russia.” It’s a good thing you took the advice of your friend from Russia and began this process a few months ago! You have heard of red tape…but suddenly you feel like you might be standing in bureaucratic quicksand!
