I don't know. I would be happier travelling somewhere else to be honest. Everyone who is against Putin gets prisoned. It looks like a dictature now.
There is a lot of people here from all over the World. Recently I was in the center and on the Red Square. I saw them, I heard them. You know, they didn't look unhappy
I think they just don't care about Putin, they came here to spend a good time.
As you can feel unhappy because of Putin I myself in the same manner could feel myself unhappy because of Obama (US has most prisoners per 100 thousand inhabitants, people shoot each other, US makes war in many countries...)
So forget Putin and travel to Russia, my friend, and maybe you love it. Just throw away politics.
