In anticipation of the long and cold Russian winter, I would like to somehow slow down its approach. The best way to do this is to buy a plane ticket and go to a place where it is warm. But what if the vacation is already very close, and you have not applied for a visa to a warm country?
Necessary

- - free time;

Instructions
Step 1
The consciousness of the majority of Russians associates the concept of “visa-free entry” only with the CIS countries, Egypt and Turkey. However, in fact, the list of countries that welcome Russian citizens without preliminary paperwork is much more extensive. As of 2013, without a visa or with registration directly at the airport, Russians are allowed into 103 states, that is, more than half the world. All parts of the world - Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa with open arms are waiting for tourists from Russia who have not forgotten their passport.
Step 2
In Europe, without preliminary paperwork, you can visit Georgia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Moldova and Turkey. In most countries there is a limit on the length of stay from two weeks to three months. Do not forget about the CIS countries - Ukraine and Belarus, which accept Russians in general on an internal passport.
Step 3
Many countries that can be visited without a visa are located in Asia. Thailand, popular among Russians, where you can stay for 30 days without a visa, Hong Kong (up to 14 days), Vietnam and Laos (15 days), Sri Lanka, Macau and Malaysia (30 days), the Philippines (21 days). In addition, there are countries where a visa can be obtained without any problems right at the border at the airport by paying a small amount. These countries include Cambodia, Nepal, Myanmar, Maldives, Indonesia, East Timor and Bangladesh.
Step 4
There are also many countries on the African continent that do not require a visa to visit. These include Botswana, Morocco, Namibia, Swaziland and Seychelles. But in Burkina Faso, Burundi, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Djibouti, Egypt, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Mauritius, Madagascar, Tanzania and Ethiopia, a visa is still needed, but it is issued right at the airport. As a rule, only a passport is required, valid for at least six months after returning, confirmation of the sufficiency of funds for the time of stay in the country, as well as a certificate of the presence of vaccination against yellow fever.
Step 5
The countries of South America are also present in large numbers on the list of states that do not require a visa to visit. Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, Uruguay, Chile, Ecuador - all these countries can be visited for up to three months. Also on the South American continent there are many countries with a simplified visa regime for Russians, which provides for a visa to be issued directly at the airport. These include Bolivia, Paraguay, Suriname, French Guiana. As for the countries of Oceania, Vanuatu, Guam, Federated States of Micronesia, Cook Islands and Northern Mariana Islands will accept you without a visa.
