When my dad went to Russia for a business trip last year, he was complaining about how extremely cold it was. It never crossed his mind that Russia could be that cold, he always knew that the climate of majority of Russia was only moderate continental climate. However, Russia is a huge country, with varying climates from hot, sub-tropical to cold, arctic climate. And unfortunately for dad, he was sent to the cold, arctic, almost similar to the north pole climate.
My dad never worried about his russia business visa, he had every document he needed. His business invitation letter, was taken care of by the company and was issued by the Russian foreign ministry. And aside from that, the russian travel agency who handled the preparations and accommodations were very efficient in providing the luxury and comfort my dad needed in such a cold climate. Although it was freezing, my dad was still able to enjoy the beauty of Russia.
