Russians began to be stopped at the airport in Berlin and asked about conscription and politics. At the Berlin-Brandenburg airport, Russian citizens began to be invited to talks about the political situation in the country, conscription, service of relatives in the army and price increases. As Holud reports, the employees who conduct the surveys do not introduce themselves and do not explain which agency they represent. In late October, a Russian woman flying from St. Petersburg via Istanbul was detained after passport control and taken to a separate room. There, three women in civilian clothes asked her for about an hour about her relatives, her attitude to what was happening in Russia, mobilization and inflation. The passenger was asked to leave the phone in the box, but its contents were not checked. The woman learned that the conversation was voluntary only during the conversation. Another Russian woman living permanently in Germany was arrested on November 4 after arriving from Istanbul. A plainclothes officer explained that they were interviewing people with Russian citizenship. The girl refused to participate in the conversation, after which her documents were immediately returned and she was allowed to continue. Earlier, the authorities in Germany announced that they would strengthen the scrutiny of Russian citizens upon their entry into the country, and explained this with the need to prevent security threats related to the war against Ukraine, including possible activity of the Russian intelligence services and preparations for sabotage. As part of tightening immigration policy, Berlin has also advocated reducing the issuance of tourist visas to Russians and called on other EU countries to tighten controls on incoming Russian citizens.
