He spent several days waiting for permission to enter.
According to Ulysmedia.kz, Russian political scientist and head of the Asia Development Fund Alexander Sobianin was unable to enter the territory of Kyrgyzstan.
Sobianin, who got stuck at the airport in the country's capital, Bishkek, reported that he has already been there for a week. The reason for the entry denial lies in the new, stricter migration rules for Russian citizens.
“Starting in 2025, the conditions for Russians in Kyrgyzstan have worsened. According to the new rules, after leaving the republic, it is prohibited to return within 90 days,” he explained.
The political scientist noted that he returned from a business trip in Kazan five days ago, but he was not sent back on the same flight and was not accommodated on the next one either. “It seems that I will have to spend another five days in the airport chairs. At my age, this is quite difficult. Kyrgyzstan is my homeland; my family and home are here. But I can neither enter nor fly away,” Sobianin added.
