We all know DJ is not an American, even though he pretends to be for some mysterious reason. That is fine. Even being a Slav is fine.
But if he turns out to be some central European fag, for instance a Belgian... a Dutch... or even a Dane... I will be well and truly disappointed.
While Russia is at war, an American citizen, or citizen of most of the Schengen Area, cannot have a Russian bank account, their ATM and credit cards don’t work in country, and MasterCard/Visa etc. offer no services. So the mommy money transfer story is most likely fake.
For an apartment, long-term hotel, or house rental you have to supply your personal tourist or citizenship Visa Application Identity Number and your half of the mandatory Immigration Card you complete at a legal checkpoint (you keep half the Russian government keeps half to track your movement) regardless of how you travel into the country. Like how the front desk of a hotel takes your passport when traveling in the EU. The apartment outside of St. Petersburg is leased by an older male or female.
To access the internet inside Russia, whether by phone or laptop, you have to apply for and receive an Electronic Item License, which takes months to process if you are entering from outside Russia. If you are an American citizen, you are not going to receive an EIL.
Is bj181 in Moscow, does it really matter ? Nothing else he says is true, so it really doesn’t matter where he claims he lives, his stories are make believe anyway. 🙄
