Hi! Turkey is a great place to meet, I have family in Instanbul.
 
To answer your question (and millefleur's) I have a 3-year tourist Visa renewed in 2019. I've been here awhile (trying to get a Temporary Residence permit >.<;). I can stay 180 days on my tourist visa, and then need to exit, usually I exit to Finland or Georgia but since Corona began and they closed, I exit to Turkey. I'm married, so I can enter Russia with my marriage certificate and a valid tourist visa. 

This is such outstanding news, I was so worried about having to renounce my USA citizenship. Finally, something good has happened. I've had all the paperwork done for my temporary residency permit for many, many months... like many other things, just waiting for corona to pass haha. Thanks for posting this!

HI! I was reading this thread, hoping for some ideas, but it looks like we all have the same information. My husband's been approved since early September 2020 for his Visa Interview in Moscow, it was a nice comfort just to read the posts here and not feel alone (or like I'm doing something wrong). I actually have been calling (doesn't work) and the e-mailing, just because I can't help myself haha. I did get an answer back via e-mail, but it was no new information.
 
This was the answer I had, on December 10th 2020,
"Thank you for your inquiry. Routine immigrant and nonimmigrant visa operations remain suspended. We are not processing immigrant visa at this time. Please follow up when routine immigrant visa operations resume.  There is no action for you to take now.
 
We will resume routine visa services as soon as possible but are unable to provide a specific date at this time. "
 
I know it's not really helpful, but that's what I have to share.
