Dire (and fair) warning for dual citizens. I'd think if you're male and there right now, you better scoot.
US Embassy warns Americans to leave Russia | CNN Politics
Quote:
“Russia may refuse to acknowledge dual nationals’ US citizenship, deny their access to US consular assistance, prevent their departure from Russia, and conscript dual nationals for military service,” the alert said.
The embassy has consistently warned Americans not to travel to Russia and to depart the country immediately if there.
The embassy alert urged US citizens to “avoid all political or social protests and do not photograph security personnel at these events,” noting that “the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression are not guaranteed in Russia.”

But this part is BS. The consulates/embassy should have some sort of 800 number to assist citizens. Heck, just outsource to AMEX travel or like.

“If you wish to depart Russia, you should make independent arrangements as soon as possible,” it said.
