It is a pretty legitimate condition. Migration service may find a person formally worthy of asylum but one may have a kiddie porn, a kilo of drugs and a nuclear material on him. A border guards’ job is to make sure that refugees won’t bring things like that into a country.
Well, I thought he was talking about Russian border guards letting him OUT.
Ok, that is interesting. I was only looking at it from the side of the Russian border guards not the country he would be crossing into.
